So, that's the system for you. I've got roughly 49 motoring offences ahead of me then before I fear prison.

Lovely.

Unless you are seriously speeding like those two bikers who got sent to jail for speeding on a dual carriageway.

Ummm - 49 speeding offences will see you, your family AND your neighbours (and their pets) summarily executed (slowly).

I was being ironic...

This isn't an American site is it?

Wasn't it the dangerous driving part that got them jailed, not the actual speeding?

[dazren]

Not sure of the technical charge, just remember seeing the video of them doing a gradual left hander overtaking a lorry. CPS may call it dangerous, I'd just call it speeding.

This brings into discussion of course what the actual government/CPS policy is. I remember reading of a PHer getting charged with dangerous driving for 115 on a clear motorway, purely because he was X amount over the limit it was classified as dangerous.

I'd just call it fun

I only mention it because I seem to recall VH picking me up about speed and jail, apparently you can't be jailed for speed alone, that's why they tack a DD charge on it.
