In response to the last comment it is rather high, but then compared to most peoples first years driving i do a lot more miles! Since i passed my test 3 years ago i have done very nearly 100,000 miles. I'm not what one would call the most confident driver - a lot of the problem is that some drivers are not terribly patient. Bibbing their horns if i don't decide to go with split second timing.
As it happens that last accidents i have been in have been people driving into me! Christmas eve, someone drove into me, and the day after Grandpa died a lorry bunny-hopped into the back of me. So i figured on that front i'm pretty much all square. I'm just mega paranoid about being caught be speed cameras. Which, if you knew me, you would laugh at as i am a notoriously slow driver. If we go in a convoy from work anywhere, everyone else can be guaranteed to lose me as i stick to the speed limit very closely. This time is a little different. Not that i hit anyone, or anyone hit me. I don't know. i know i am paranoid, and i trembled everytime someone came to the door, or letters through the letter box this weekend. As the mother of an ex-boyfriend once said to me..."You have enough guilt to be Catholic".Mind you she did want me to marry her son, which probably would have meant converting... posted by

No need to worry about speed cameras, getting caught by one is just a fact of life. I do 40,000 miles each year and probably have done for years now, I consider myself to be a safe driver (no accidents) and also a responsible driver; I drive at an appropriate speed for the conditions (often slower then the permitted limit) but I have still been caught speeding 5 times in 12 years (none at high speed or way over the limit).

Cameras are easy (it's just paperwork!) and each time I have been stopped by real police for speeding (3 times) they have been polite and friendly (like me!) |
