Hello all,

Little transgression on the M62.

Got issued with a fixed penalty notice for excess speed.

Is it 3 points or 4 points.

I know it is £60.00 I wont see again.

8 years with a clean licence, and now this.

22;30 at night, just never saw him in my mirror, looked like any other car.

just as well I wasn't going to much over the limit.

Fair cop,

Good guy actually, no preaching ect, just doing a job.

Usually a £60 fine accompanied by 3 points - dependant on speed.

How fast then?

Did not think the police bothered on motorways anymore, as I never see any further down souf.

Just a slow 90.

As it was 10:30 at night, I thought I was o.k.

Just never seen him in the dark, with just his headlights on.

Looked like any other car.

just as well I had the "speed limiter" in the passenger seat.

I might have just booted it, thinking some one wanted to play, then I really would have been in the crap.

Glad to see the Policeman use his discretion.

I would give him a thumbs up.
Wasn't nasty or anything, quite the opposite.

Perhaps before he flashed his "blues" from behind me, he could have just pulled up alongside so I could have seen it was a X5.
Oh well,

Some more experience gained I guess.

3 points, as it's first offence I doubt it'll bump insurance much either.
