Reply to: Ever been done for speeding?

This is what you need:
...

What you actually need, is not to speed.

That way, you don't get any fines or points.

HTH.

Dare I ask about the speeding thing? Or should I just PM you if/when I get done?

PM me, because that one's a bit more risky but it does work.

It's one of the 'valid reasons' they have to let you off on. They require proof of breakdown, but then the AA/RAC will provide a nice letter if needed. Should you be unfortunate enough to return to a broken down car and need to call them out.

No it's all my own work. For parking fines, you cannot be prosecuted if you broke down.

Has this been tried in court?

[Bagpuss]

Is from that ex-copper who's brought out that 'beat the system - legal loopholes they don't want you to know' book?

No, but I've used another loophole, and I've got a good one for parking fines too!

Overtook a police car this morning at 240, but its allowed here (although I still can't get over it.) 3 points in Flensburg for 130 in a 100 zone but they've gone now. Mind you in the UK I got everything from a 1 year ban via 240 hours community service to a 6 month suspended for traffic offences

Thank f**k you're no longer on British roads!

Been done once (£60+3 points) and had a few notices of intended prosecution that they haven't followed up.

Anyone ever use that loophole (closed now) where you sent it back but didn't sign it and they couldn't do you for it?

You weren't drinking that stuff in the green bottle at the time were you?

This laser jammer blocks police speed guns although I think its illegal. There are some dual-purpose models that can be used as a parking sensor too, which makes their legality debatable.

Now if only there was an HMRC repellant, life in England would be so much more pleasant

No speeding offenses in more than 20 years driving, despite regularly driving at 10mph over the speed limit due to having (until very recently) a misconception about the meaning of the phrase "dual carriageway."

I was confused a long while ago - I think a man down the pub put me straight.....
