The classic... 70 in a 50, A90 Aberdeenshire

[simoid]

So...

Ended up with £300 and 5 points - reduced to 4 points and £210 for pleading guilty.

Interesting points:

• scrote was up for theft, nicked from his employer (according to scrote) £75 of fags and £175, and got a £110 fine. £5 a week forever as he had no money, apparently, but was wearing a c. £300 jacket.
• someone else was up for 71mph at the same junction, only got 5pts (-1 to 4) and £150 (-to £105 or £110) despite having similar income to my mate. I assume this is because this other speeder had a kid.
• other speeder had a lawyer, who did a little speech similar to what I prepared for my mate, but also included the fact she " missed the change of speed limit" which as others have said, meant failing to see around a dozen pieces of street furniture - DWDCA!?
• matey was in court for speeding at usual FPN levels. Instead of £100 fine and 3 points, how much court time and public money was spent to recoup an additional £110, or £10 in the case of the mother speeder? What a waste of fking money.
• I'm not sure in this instance there was any financial benefit to turning up and saying sorry and looking smart, but we'll never know matey found it a therapeutic and enlightening experience nonetheless.

Thanks for all the comments and help.
