ME! Done for bloody speeding. 41 in a 30 zone - a "blackspot" apparently (yeah, at 9 o'clock at night, righto). I hardly ever drive a stupid car, never had points before and I'm coming back from visiting my sick father in hospital, only taking that route because I had to collect my brother as he'd had a back operation for cancer in his spine and couldn't drive.
So I've got a big ol slow Mondeo and the bugger decides to wave his stupid laser gun thing at me.
Now I'm a criminal 
Don't expect any cheer from me today.
Oh yea I could've done a effin driver awareness course! Ha! Would that make me aware of the dangers of doing 40 on an empty road at night?

Was it a handheld gun?

Bad luck - but as they say round here "no excuses"

not that slow, it seems.
I may not be the first to say this but you really only have yourself to blame and as far as I know the speed limits on urban roads aren't time of day/traffic density dependent

Yep, handheld gun
**** off wwaswas, I'm gonna run you over.

Everyone does it Dez. Those that don't are lying and those with clean licenses are good at not getting caught. Ahem.

41 in a 30 at any time of day is daft

Apparently they're the easiest ones to dispute. As they're really inacurate. Only takes a slight movement of the coppers wrist to completely change the result.

**** off wwaswas
did you really expect no one to point these things out?[edit] , I'm gonna run you over.
given I'm riding a singlespeed you'll be doing about 40 times my speed so it shouldn't be too difficult

I got my first ever speeding in a 30 zone ticket on boxing day. Bang to rights - I'm usually really careful in 30 zones, but got distracted by someone coming up fast behind me. Not a lot you can do except take it on the chin - although I'll certainly go for the speed awareness course if it keeps my licence clean.

Through our village (30mph) drivers just don't seem to give a sh*t about sticking to any speed limit unless there's a copper sitting at the end of the road. I'd like to see more traffic police spot checking areas.

He didn't fall for any of my excuses. And no sympathy for "I only ever ride my bike on this road" when he said there's often cameras there.

Of course it is. ::rolls eyes:: We should all be perfect like you.

One of the great things about doing 40km/h over the limit in Tassie is that when you do get caught, they let you off with a compliment on your driving! (unless I get caught again within three years, then I get both fines and points...)

Hmm, could Not see the value of that - it's more expensive than the fine and what difference does points on my license make? Only do 8000 miles a year.

"May I see your calibration certificate?"
I got pegged just before Christmas, 36 in a 30 right next to where the the limit changes to a 50 zone. Speed awareness course for me in a couple of weeks.

How hard is it to go 30mph in a 30mph zone? If you're concentrating and not dicking around with your cd player / iphone / sat nav it really shouldn't be that difficult.
Posted 4 months ago # -
I'd have done the course I reckon if it saved me points.
41 in a 30 is pushing your luck a bit, I reckon. Not sure Plod can ignore someone doing 33% over the limit.

If you were all as perfect as me, you'd have a completely clean driving licence

Very unlikely to win any challenge and as you'd have to do it in court you risk a higher penalty when you lose.
I'd have taken the driver awareness course option if it avoids the points and fine.

maybe if you'd let him he wouldn't have given you the ticket?

what difference does points on my license make?
Assuming only 3, for an SP30, none.
Sounds like a fair cop though, just got to suck it up.
Posted 4 months ago # -
If you haven't got any points then 3 won't make any different to your insurance
Posted 4 months ago # -
Tune for you Dez. Been there, done that, got rid of the points now

Some high horse fodder:
I've done double the speed limit in every category in the UK. I'd like to try and triple it, but I'm gonna need some serious cash to do 210mph..,,, Although 180 shouldn't be too hard....

Sorry, but agreed.
9pm isn't exactly late either. Could quite easily be a child's face out at that time.

(a) they're pretty informative
(b) they're surprisingly interesting
(c) you don't have any pointsI'd urge you to do the course - it'll teach you some stuff you didn't know. Honest!
