Just been done for speeding!
 

I'm pissed off now lol, i've had a clean licience for years and just phoned home to be told that i've got a letter here from police saying i've been caught speeding at

49mph in a 30mph zone.

I'm hoping i get away with 3 points and a £60 fine. :banghead:

What do you guys think????

That's PANTS!!! My husband got a £60 plus 3 points for doing 49 in a 40. I think the usual is around that - esp for first "offence".

It's a fair way over the limit mate but hope thet see it's your first and it'll just be 3 and £60. Good luck mate.:bigcry:

The thing is i had only just pulled out of a mates driveway and accelerated upto that speed, wasn't gunning it at all and there he was sitting on his bike behind a tree. i slammed on the anchor and crawled past him at 30mph

When he didn't come after me i thought i had got away with it lol.

I just hope it's not a court summons as i'm not back in UK until December as i've got a month long party in thailand to attend :thumbs:

63% over the speed limit - let's hope they are lenient on you mate!

I was done years ago doing 99mph on a 70mph dual carriageway. Received 4 points, £450 fine. :banghead:

Wiltshire police have given me the option to go on a speed awareness course for an afternoon,instead of 3 points.Still costs £60.So i have taken them up on there offer,as i also have a clean licence.;)

i did one of those in JUne, license now clean!

Bealo, i had a laser jammer but tbh never seemed to save me and illegal!

I use my Sat Nav with camera detectors and it warns you of most static sites and vans but not guys out with guns so much

Fingers crossed they offer that to me but i've got a nasty feeling i'm going to court but we will see.

It's something i'm going to look into cause it's so easy to get caught :bigcry:

Ignore it ( trust me it works ) ;)

Dont respond / reply or do anything, they need to prove you received the notification, they will either not follow it up ( depends how many others have been caught and are chasing at that time ) they have a % follow up and sort, 99.9% buckle and just bend over and let them slip you one , or send you several shitty / threatening letters, starting with it's an offence to not supply ... Blah Blah Blah, then , another , and then possibly a summons , but very rare, either way if you ignore ALL of those, it's still them that have to prove you received it in the first place, and as the old saying goes !! :whistle:
