erm

Historically it kinda goes like this

1977 53 in a 30 3pts £43 3 weeks after driving test
1978 90 in a 40 3pts £80
1982 93 in a 30 and 4 car road block with 3 cars chasing 6pts £105 plus £100 for brief
1985 122 M56 3 pts £90
1991 105 M56 3 pts £100
1999-2002 5 gatso or manned camera NIPs all defeated by one means or other. £500 solicitors fees

2002 89 in a 60 3 pts but pts never put on due to scheming deviousness and incompetant court officials fined £180

And before anyone goes off on one at the 90+ in a 30 it was 3am and on the edge of a glf.

Jeez!! I'm beginning to feel quite saintly.....

'78 Three points(?) for overtaking on zebra crossing on Barry Island (bl**dy slow tourists....)

'99 Two week ban and nil point, 107 on a 70.....11a.m. Sunday on a deserted Cirencester by-pass...

That's all.

Saving grace these days is not having the Porker MOT'd or taxed -track days only!!

AFAIC, that is the only way to get speed out of your system......oh, and driving a motorhome

Sorry, but absolutely no sympathy for excessive speeds in 30 and 40 limits.....
