RECENTLY I was snapped by a lurking speed camera doing 35mph in a 30mph zone.
I was given the option of a £100 fine, plus three points, or attending a speed awareness course, plus £84 cost. Because I have held a clean licence for 50 plus years I opted for the latter.
However, having read of the police driver who allegedly drove at 140mph without reason and not prosecuted I feel aggrieved.
And recently in Ferryhill motorists exceeding the limit past a police camera in Wood Lane were sent a warning.
This has left me feeling as if justice is a lottery.
