Me? Wasn’t really thinking at all. My father had just died and I was late for a meeting with his solicitor.
Re. Second time - running late for the awareness course - my fault.
Road conditions on both days were good, daylight, overcast, dry surface, traffic light. The camera sits at the end of a ‘dual carriageway’ which is actually a restricted dual carriageway - to 60mph. I was going at 71. Oddly the course did not mention this type of road - they explained what a dual carriageway was and how to recognise one and that the limit was 70 - this mad section of road is apparently restricted to 60 - and I do not think there are signs to show that (must have a look next time).
A day of my life wasted!!
The oldest sinner at the course was 80+ years old, had difficulty walking and she got caught at 44 in a 30 on the NW200 circuit road (just past Black Hill if you know the coast road). She was going to a church choir practice - that was the only amusing thing in the whole day!
