Driving back from a mates house about 12 last nite on the A13 and got pulled by a 5 series BMW,the BIB were real nice about it,they asked me how fast i was doing and not wanting to sound like i was trying to insult there intellignce i said about a 100,then thet said i was doing about 120,he also said at one stage he was diong 150 to catch up to me. Now i have to say the guy was what i would call an old school cop,he ask me how many points i have and i told him none (which is the truth) so he said he would only book me for 98 so i would only get 3 points and not loose my breif,the point im trying to make is if they didnt really know how fast i was doing is it worth all the hassle of going to court,by the way there were 2 of them in the car.. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies chaps but i think its getting a bit nerdie now!! Just to put this right i was given a caution at the start,and did admit that i was doing over a tonn,in fact at one point it was more like 150ish,the road was empty,i wasnt pissed,and was upfront and spoke to them the same way they spoke to me,very polite both side`s,i know a lot of you are saying just take the points,which is good advise,but i just wanted to know if they had to have hard evidence or not.He even said what a good bit of driving it was,while i let the other one sat in the car and had a look Its a shame all BIB aint the same....
