Book him Danno - Speeding Thread

If you were speeding for the sheer fun of it, it's much cheaper to take your car to an old airfield on a track day.

I got done at 125mph on the M6. Just got a 2 week ban and £500 fine. Get a lawyer. One of the 3 judges (the woman ) wanted to give me 6 points which would have (added to my 6) meant a 2 year ban. So get a lawyer to plead your livelyhood etc...

You only get three judges in the Royal Courts of Justice. What you had were three magistrates. Ie. Three untrained part time unpaid upper-class twatts who know FA

I was on the way to a very important career defining meeting and was running late.

But good advice...

One friend of mine on mpsowners was caught doing 140mph for 5 miles by an undercover cop in a volvo. This was around midnight, so he was flooring it. He got a ban of 1 month, but nothing too severe. Depends on how you plead your case.

Yip that. Couldn't remember what they were called.

Did they deal with it at the road, or are you going to court?

Might be fixed penalty, might be court, officer said they'd decide and let me know.

You will most definitely want to take a look over at the forums and articles on PePiPoo: Helping the motorist to get justice

Looking now, many thanks, great link.

I could live with that. Actually that's quite reassuring!

Mine is timed 1/4 mile at night, cited for 100 in a 60. Again, I could live with a month.

Expensive business if you are banned. Your insurance premiums will gain a nought on the end.

Yes, upper-class twatts

Get legal representation NOW.

As others have said take a look at Pepipoo.

First offence makes **** all difference you are now a cash cow and about to be shafted for fun. (not yours I might add)

I got banned in 1997 first ever driving offence and at 1 in the morning. I got a 2 week ban and £700 fine with the added bonus that my insurance went through the roof. The unemployed bird with previous that went before me got a £50 fine for destroying a chaps brand new Audi while changing the tape in her boy freinds car she had no licence, insurance or tax and he had been done for DD the previous week which was why he was getting her to drive him to the pub...

Talking of insurance, I assume I must tell them (once I'm convicted) ?
