70 in a 50 - Am I screwed?
Discussion
Coming home on the M25 earlier and the gantry signs indicated 50 MPH within the red circle and I got flashed while doing 70 MPH along with about 10 other cars that were in front/behind me. I've only been driving for 4 months so I expect the book to be thrown at me for this.
What's the most likely outcome?

Fairly sure we've all been there
Not in my first two years. I pretty much forgot what an accelerator was during that time.OP - you'll get 3 points I imagine however, without wanting to get preachy, that's a silly 3 points to get. Where you know the limit and where you know there are cameras, just slow down.

I don't speed anymore due to trying to save money on fuel, unfortunately this time I wasn't paying attention.
The amazing correlation between speeding and fuel consumption. You obviously do speed btw, as you've just been flashed doing just that. I do feel sorry for all these poor people who get caught the one time they speed. I must be very lucky as I speed most of the time and haven't been caught since 1999.

Believe it or not, but I rarely speed. This is just the one occasion that I did and I've now got to pay for it. I do feel sorry for all these poor people who get caught the one time they speed. I must be very lucky as I speed most of the time and haven't been caught since 1999.

"Never", "rarely" and "one occasion" all used to describe the frequency with which you speed. All have different meanings. Just admit you speed and get over it instead of bleating about it. Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
