caught 124 mph in a 50 advice?

[essayer]

I know this is a half term windup but if it was 'just' exceeding the speed limit, 100+ mph in a 50, there's no chance of prison is there?

Different if summonsed for dangerous driving etc.

Can we just make the thread about bumming? That would be more fun.

I can''t comment on whether bumming is or is not fun (and that comes from an ex-public school chap). However, I've just bought a birthday card that tickled me....two mice on the front, one says to t'other "let's get mouse bummed"!. T'other retorts "I think you mean rat-arsed".

Boom boom....

I'm here all week etc......

Given that's right at the cut off for Graypaul and Porsche and a test drive road for many hi-performance vehicles day in day out you might have had a good idea traffic plod would be there to go fish-in-barrel-shooting.

...and expect to be a couple of grand lighter (maybe more) for a top class defence.

If it's important to you Michael's probably your best chance at avoiding the nick.

Oh and that road has had one fatality. Which was a stolen car.

Obviously average speed cameras would have prevented this.

Do you really believe that speeding is the best way to raise the debate?

Scotland, remember.

High speeds alone can easily be "Dangerous".

You'll probably get an extra six months for crimes against spelling and grammar.

Did you see me overtake you as you were overtaking the Police car? I was the one doing the stand up wheelie.

Would love to hear AGT’s take on this if he were to take this case on, I really wood.

Good luck op.

AGT is an English lawyer. This mythical case (never) happened in Scotland.

I am assuming OP read the news report and trolled up, 'that was me, me, did you hear me? me!'

Indeed I could not be arsed to do more than skim the thread, my bad, but if it's fer real, then 'kinnel. It's even more stupid than if it were a wind up. Can a 48 year old be that naive?

Can anyone be that stupid and make it as far as 48?

"Entrapment." lol.
Grow up.

Thats not as daft as it sounds, South Wales Police used to have an unmarked Focus ST that used to regularly goad people into "races" before turning on the blues and two's. I had a heads up about him early on but he tried it 3 or 4 times with me when I had my MK2 RS. My friend in an R32 took the bait hook line and sinker, blues and twos came on at 100mph on the M4.

Original example was a bit extreme I must admit though

Cumbria police do similar in a red VW Golf R.

Pretty sure back in the 80's, Thames valley police used to have a white Porsche 911 for that sort of thing.

Don't worry though, you can buy small tubs of Nivea on the canteen for £1.89

Good luck.

That suddenly brought it home and made me ever so slightly sick in my mouth.

OP, just think of it as you only have to pay £3.78 every time you get bummed. That’s only about 3 hours work in the sweat shop for each lovin’ session
