Pretty average result. I was expecting you to say 3 points.

Unless you were on a motorway then you weren't fined £1200.

Love that and the backtracking from the OP. How £635 becomes £1200 with predictive text is beyond me.

Wonder if it was quoted high to boost his income levels on here and also prompt a "rip off Britain" set of rants from the pitchfork brigade.

Is this going to turn into a thread where people start boasting about how much they earn?

Posting from phone I use an app called SwiftKey keyboard that does all the typing for you based on previous conversations so it's quite easily done.

Fair enough, but not that "lucrative" for a contractor as you'd have gotten a band B fine. Which is 100% of weekly wage....

I seriously dread getting caught especially if you're forced to give salary info as I'd get clobbered for the max . That's with me on a low day rate by IT standards btw.....

Agreed. But where I make money is in the overtime, I only quoted my Base salary based on 37 hours which is what I'm contracted for

Interesting, think I have an out in that case as well . Here's hoping I never need it!!!

a well deserved telling off from the magistrate.

Why "well deserved" ? It always puzzles me why people say this . . . I assume nobody was injured or killed, you didn't do it on the local high street, you were on a motorway where such speeds are reasonably safe, your car was taxed and insured and you weren't drunk. So why "well deserved" punishment for not harming or even worrying anybody ?

I see what your saying and all the things you said are correct ie 5am so no risk to other road users. It's the wider risk to your family or livelihood in losing your license that is the well deserved ticking off I think
