    Just got an €80 fine and 2 lovely penalty points in the door for going 82 km/h in a 50 km/h on the longmile road.

    I know I was in the wrong and Im nt on here to moan.I was just wondering if its actually a camera or if it would have been a gatso.

    I know theres a little sign going past one of the schools that flashes your speed back at you but I dont think theres a camera installed?

    There is no fixed camera on that stretch, most likely a guard hiding in the bushes. Here is the trap info:

    Are you looking for sympathy? That's nothing to be proud of.

    Thats a mandatory ban is it not because you did twice the speed limit?
