@cmaguire - I did tell you that you lacked the capability to understand these things.
I think the pair of you need to look up what anti-social means, it's not just spitting on the floor and swearing.
So you have never breached the speed limit? I think the pair of you need to look up what anti-social means, it's not just spitting on the floor and swearing.
I can tell you some of the problems that alcohol has caused over the years. That doesn’t mean I’ve never been drunk.

have you seen how much you stand to loose if you go not guilty at court these days?
Depends if you did it or not.Plenty of people who didn’t do it end up being found guilty.
Well from what I hear today only issue was the failure to name driver.
Speed offence was 122mph in a 50mph limit, in a van...
To my mind make a farce of the system, on the flip side still 6pts and £750 fine...
Some people are idiots/chancers and just getaway with it.
On a purely technical note seems a workable way to mitigate against a really high penalty...
I will leave it there... thank you for all thoughts/discussions though!

Some people never tell their insurance about any points and get away with it that way, as long as you don't crash you would probably get away with it. Its only shows up for 4 years.
Slight derailment, if the points count for 3 years and stay on for 4 years how do the insurance companies find out about points 4 years and 1 day+ old, as they ask for 5 years history.

So long as you remember you're lying, and never ever give them your licence number for a dvla check as part of a quote - and I suspect that'll become less and less optional. As soon as your licence number gets flagged up next to your name in their systems, you can bet it's staying.mickmcpaddy said:

Well, if you told them four years ago that you had them...It's a very slippery slope, and sooner or later big data will trip you up. Then it's down to declaring "insurance cancelled", and you KNOW they'll not forget that one.

But again, if you don't tell them.... When I sold a house 10+ years ago I moved from a WA post code to a M one. Rang the two bit insurance company to tell them and they bluntly stated we don't cover M postcode's you insurance is now cancelled. WTF. Do you think I ever declared their bad business sense? Is there even a record of it anywhere, I doubt it.It's a very slippery slope, and sooner or later big data will trip you up.

You don’t have to declare that. You only need to declare it where the insurer cancels the policy because they find something you lied about to one of their questions. 
What was a flat 70 limit now isn't.
If the limit is reduced to 50 it is in theory due to traffic volume (excepting a broken down vehicle etc) therefore if this is to be believed then how could it even be possible to do 122 in a van?
Ergo, if it is possible then the reduction to 50 is a pisstake and has effectively exaggerated the offence.
Anyway, maybe it was on a single carriageway road. No-one knows on here.
