thanks for the responses No idea at what distance they record your speed from? Crumbs!

Hi! Long time no post, I have a query regarding average speed cameras on motorways! I was driving from Exeter to Stoke this morning with free flowing traffic, and noticed the dreaded "50" speed limit sign, I had seen prior warnings but I hadn't clocked on to how quickly it would come up. My question is how far off do the cameras pick up your license plate? I "slammed" on my brakes as much as I could (as much as I could safely). In terms of distance I'd hazard a guess at the cameras being a maximum of 400 meters off. And say there are 5 average speed cameras on the stretch of road, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, is your average speed calculated between "1" and "2" or "1" and "5" Sorry if this is in the wrong place guys

I thought i'd failed (turns out the gap was fine for me to pull through, he didn't want to follow as his bike was as wide as it was long) anyway, I passed with 1 minor It's not over until you're back at the centre

Good luck!

In regards to the cutting out when started, my CBR125r used to do the same thing. I live at the top of a pretty steep hill and would occasionally get to the bottom junction, indicating out only to find out the engine has cut out on the slow down. The way i'd get around this (and not a 100% solution) was to leaving the bike running an extra minute before jumping on and maybe playing with the choke

managed under 3 hours of sleep before my mod 2 due to various reasons, would not reccomend!

yeah first time DAS And I may well need to

Yay Passed my Mod 1 on thursday - 1 minor for not braking hard enough on the emergency stop 9went through the trap at 72..) Passed my Mod 2 today - 1 minor for letting a car out I'll do a proper write up soon. yayayayay

Bike; CBT - 1 Theory - 1 Mod 1 - 1 Mod 2 - 0 thus far Car; Theory - 1 Practical - 1

If anything i'd say having full leathers will make you feel much safer the first time on a bike, I only wore jeans and felt exposed. Who cares what others think yanno?

Thanks for the replies, not sure why I was so worried...

I need to stop posting when i'm half asleep The reason I was asking was as I have a physio the monday at 5pm (the same day my direct access starts) so I was wondering whether I should rearrange it or not

I was wondering how long the days were? Say if a lesson started at 9, how many hours would it be for? Have mine booked for the 5th of July ahh

ended up paying me £600 in cash

received a phone call from someone watching it on fleabay earlier today, he's coming up from cornwall to have a look at it and offered £450 (all being well, I am expecting to have to haggle). He wants to buy it outside of ebay, he has a 100% record on ebay. Thing that slightly concerns me is that he wants to take it with him tonight as long as everything is ok with the bike, unless he pays in cash (other option is cheque) i'm not sure I can trust him? I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke but I am a little worried..
