On my speed awareness course, the (ex-trafpol) instructor said right at the beginning "everyone who does this course has been caught doing at least 36mph". So that would incline me to believe that was the cutoff.
Wife did speed awareness course last year for 35.
No she didn't you horrible outrageous lying scumbag! You willy-waving, 'world of make-believe', evidence shy idiot.

We need proof, immediately, posted with custard and a video of the actual speeding offence or you'll be automatically removed from PH for your heinous crimes.

That's how it is on PH these days, post something and then get loads of silly people trying to make it into something it's not.

I believe you have been guilty of that with me if my memory serves me correctly, so you can hardly complain smile
Who me? Were you the one who parks in P&C spaces and thinks children are the embodiment of Satan himself, or the one who was going to 'kill a cyclist'? I lose track of everyone's misdemeanors getmecoat

biggrin
Any sympathy I may have had for you has dissipated due to this post. Shows your true character.

Take your punishment like a man and stop snivelling on the Internet rolleyes

Well I'd suggest I know all parties involved a lot better than any of you lot so I wont be arguing the point with you any further.
There's no point. Once the PistonHead Gods have decided you can argue all you like, will make not a jot of difference.

Better to move on as I have learned having wasted my time trying to state the truth.

More than that. This is a forum for car/driving enthusiasts and, on the whole, we're broadly sympathetic about small speeding infractions. Most of us weigh the risk of accidents and being caught and then decide for ourselves. So it would be a commendable service to other PHers if those who have such a NIP posted evidence here so that we were all better able to weigh that risk.

For now it sounds like pub-style tall stories, and some sort of reverse oneupmanship.
Is it? Recently I get the impression it is the hunting ground of argumentative, manipulative specimens on the prod. frown

It's not something that can be resolved by argument, it's something that can only be resolved by posting the proof

Its not the asking for proof that I object to, it is the childish way it is done.

I thought it was a motoring discussion site too, not a school playground!

You're right there, the rest has come from people making improbable claims which they are apparently either 'unable', or believe it or not 'unwilling', to post proof for.

Do you reject everything people say, or is it just numbers on speeding tickets?

LOL

Laughing at you, BTW, not with you.

You are obviously a guy who doesn't put a lot of thought into his posts- I've seen your other posts, which are mostly jokey stuff (shame none of it is actually funny), helps towards the big post count though.

If you had thought about that one maybe you would have realised that 'numbers on speeding tickets' is the one thing we haven't seen, so rejecting them hasn't actually been possible.

You have just contradicted yourself right there! Why would you be laughing if it is not funny?

Now you don't seem quite so clever, do you!

Do you people on here think others read your posts and go "all hail the wondrous Pistonhead Gods"?

Or just "oh god, not again"!

rolleyes

This is like trying to have a sensible discussion with children.

He thinks the stuff he posts is funny, but I'm laughing at him because he thinks he's funny, not because he actually is funny (he isn't).

I realise you won't be able to see the difference, but the other readers will.

There is a fundamental difference between laughing at someone and laughing with someone. The latter is when they are genuinely funny, the former is when they aren't.

You need to get over yourself. Not that I care either way.

Back on topic...............

Why would anyone lie on the Internet about getting a speeding ticket? What do they possibly have to gain?

Might just be me, as I don't lie in real life either (I don't consider omitting the truth to be lying), so I just don't see the point.

If it were me I'd probably not post the ticket up either for a bunch of manipulating/calculating/wind up merchants/voyeurs/interested parties (delete as applicable) to salivate over. I would not even post had I been caught.

The speed limit is a law. It is a bull droppings law but is still a law. If you get caught, you know the risks. We all do it (if we are honest) at some time or other, even if it is unintended.

Bleating about it on the Internet just sounds like sour grapes, if you don't like the law then move somewhere else or campaign to change it.

Let the one who is pure cast the first stone (or words to that effect).

ETA Actually that is not true, on a recent post about cyclists, in the heat of anger I posted that "had the Mrs not been in the car with me I would have stopped and thrown the cyclist in the reservoir" wearing his cycle for the abuse he gave me. Not likely or even possible, this is a lie.

I therefore withdraw the statement in bold above and apologise. There is no excuse.

Good question. I have no idea. It might be something to do with exaggerating to make a point, or it might be something else.

I call BS on these 34mph tales of woe every time as I'm sick of people posting it. Nobody has ever proven it, yet some have even claimed the even more ridiculous prosecution at 31mph.

People lie on here to make themselves seem important or to highlight how unjust some things are. Either way I don't care if people get done for speeding, but on a forum dedicated to motoring fun then being done for such a low speed does warrant further investigation

If he'd come on and said he'd been done for 38mph. Then the discussion would've died long ago with a "MTFU and take the punishment as it's hardly a disaster" or a mega long thread about how all speed limits should be abolished just like Germany where they have no speed limits anywhere at all wink
