Caught speeding...................again !!
« on: January 12, 2012, 03:24:57 PM »
Just got pinged for speeding, 86 in a 50. The copper said that due to the speed he could not issue me with a fixed penalty ticket and I would have to attend court. :005_ssad:

Its my own daft fault, and I blame no-one else for my actions.

What do you think I will get ?

Hung, drawn & quartered ?

25 years in a Siberian salt mine ?

Can someone bake me a cake with a file in it ?

Ouch, sorry to hear this Biff.
I can't help you regarding what punishment you might get since I have never been prosecuted for speeding especially since I never speed  :wistle

Speeding again ? have you still got points on your licence ? I hope not.
Also you are well in excess of 45% threshold so get your boots ready could be a short ban  :yikes{sorry did not want to say it}

I would say 6 points at least  :icon_boohoo:
Plus fine and costs.

Best of luck.

That guy in Yorkshire doing 147mph in his Jaguar got 6 points and £1k+ fine,
so 86mph in a 50 limit on a motorcycle














death penalty or amputation of at least two limbs  ;)

Nasty, got caught at 98 in a 60 two years ago on the A82 up here, plead guilty by letter ( they made me watch the video in the back of the car) when you get the summons theres an opportunity to plead for mitigation, they ask for a full financial breakdown of the household income and monthly expenditure, this is to either lower the fine due to financial circumstances and increase the points / ban period or up the fine and reduce the points, if you plead guilty at the first chance they knock around 20% off the fine

6 Points (already had 3) and a £400 kick in the ba*ls  :icon_boohoo:

Biff could be a ban as your 36 mph over the speed limit, but i got a court appearance, 6 points and a £400 fine for 94.7 in a 60 so you might get lucky :thumbsup: :thumbsup:  was told i would have been banned if i did not have a clean license,so i hope you have no points :thumbsup:
SIMPLY THE BEST
