    Frankly I am shocked at you having no remorse whatsoever
    I also have 0 points, and why should I feel remorse? who have I harmed?

      That's the attitude everybody takes until they kill their first kid.

          Yes but so is dying in the houses of parliament.

          People should use a little common sense when driving, and not be so anal about speed numbers like 30, 40, 50.

          There is a website forum dedicated to getting off speeding tickets etc where some self-proclaimed "experts" deem to offer advice:

          A silly name, but might be of some value.

            Trying to cheat the fine is most definitely a criminal offence! Attracts jail time, deservedly in my opinion.

            My views on the abuse of speed cameras as the governments way to avoid dealing with road safety are widely known, but if you do the crime you should get done.

            Mine has null points as well, but then I pootle everywhere.

              Isn't there some new law from Sep 2007 that not naming the driver is an offence?

                Have you ever broken a speed limit?

                    We all know that speed doesn't kill, that there's too many speed cameras, and it's all about raising revenue. And yes, I've had my share of tickets. Annoying, but I was in charge of the vehicle at the time so it's my responsibility.

                    You know that if you break the speed limit, there's a chance you'll get a ticket. That's the risk you take.

                    Now stop whining. You're beginning to sound like a contractor rather than an agent.

                      So which was it?

                      Too busy yakking on the phone fishing for leads to spot the speed camera?

                      Or did those CVs you were reading drop into the passenger side footwell also causing you to miss the speed camera?
