I was stopped averaging 107.7 on M4 last year - I say this with no pride.
Recently attended Mags Ct - what a really disconcerting experience. That alone was enough to make me learn my lesson.
Was fortunate to get 6pts and £825... mitigating factors, clean licence and immediate admission of guilt helped avoid a ban. I grew up quite a bit few hours I was a the Courts. Have slowed down dramatically now.

Was the experience because you feel you were genuinely driving at inappropriate speed with regard to perhaps many other road users, bad weather conditions etc etc. Or did you get nicked at a time when there were few others on the road, vis was good etc and 107.7 may have been an entirely appropriate speed.
If it was the latter I would suggest that the growing up was simply being made to fell guilty by the establishment process. And if so, a few more brushes with 'inappropriate enforcement' will probably make you grow up a bit more and see clearly just how corrupt the whole thing is.

I think the fine was a bit steep. Yes, points and a fine is fair enough, but, I can guarantee, that very same Court the same week or even the same day, will have imposed a Referral Order on a young offender for TWC and/or driving with no licence/insurance.
Who is the bigger danger on the road? Motorways are the safest roads in the country. You are several times more likey to die in an accident NOT on a Motorway than on one. And, I was chatting to a trafpol colleague yesterday evening, the most fatalities in Hantspol in the last year have been among pedestrians. Not many of those on motorways, as a rule.
