I think I got caught by a speed camera today. I was overtaking another car and the speed camera flashed.

Bastards. That's probably 60 quid down the drain.

I think my car is slowly morphing me into Jeremy Clarkson. God, I used to be such an eco-snob. I used to be all, "I'm not contributing to global warming. I use public transport. I'm so virtuous. My farts cause CO2 to dissolve, don't you know?"

And then I went and passed my driving test. Now I'm getting urges building up inside. Urges to zoom around in my car, taking out speed cameras with a .50 calibre that I've mounted on the sunroof.

I swear, if I were to sit in my car for a bit, prodding the accelator pedal and listening to it going vrooom, VROOOOM then after about half an hour I'd get out of my car again looking like this:

Not everyone gets to be Jeremy, remember!

I hate to say this, but it´s not just 60 quid, it´s a hefty hike in your insurance premiums as well.

Bastards.

Apparently it's a good idea to shop around, because some insurance companies will overlook a single speed camera offence.

When I looked into this Speeding Tickets made no difference to insurance premiums, while running red lights did.

Sensible really - adjust for the one that has a reasonable affect on road accidents.

I cannot wait until I pass my test, if only to wind eco snobs up even further. A bike or my ideal car, the Aston Martin DB9? I know which is more beautiful. Shrubs be damned.
