Speeding on M4

[pridders]

I got a nice Christmas card in the post today for my MkV GTi from the Wiltshire Police! 

I got Zapped on the M4 by a van on a bridge nr Swindon. I did see it but not in time and he caught me doing 91mph.

I do not have any points on my lience, what could I expect to get? does anyone know?

91 is just ok.

3 points and £60.

96+ would have seen you in court

[BuckieGTI]

I reckon that'll be 4 points for you and a £200ish fine if the ask you to go to court.

I would take the points & £60 fine, I was stopped last feb they said I was doing 67 ina 40 zone but the policeman was hiding behind a barria so I challenged him about the way he was conducting himself by hiding and not being visable. I also asked for a court apperance but have not heard anything since?? He did threaten me with I would get a ban in court? I felt he was trying it on by offering me a £60 + 3points said no. This police officer got very shrity with me did the usal checked my car out found nothing wrong with it 58 plate anyway.  :undecided:thanks Steve 30

Just swallow it up and pay the fine accept your points. Happened to me exactly this time last year, but was a static camera 41 in a 30. It was poorly sign posted (its those cunning ones that are over traffic lights and double up as speed cameras... watch out!!) but I didnt have the time to challenge it - would have been fruitless anyway no doubt.

Its this  time of year - they take advantage of the fact that we are all doing a lot of travelling in stranger areas of the country and all with many stressful things on our mind!

i got done for 92mph on the m4 in my works van! got 6 points and £450 fine first offence, 44 yrs old driving since i was 17 never had a my fault accident, thought it was well over the top, it was dry and sunny, no cars for a good few hundred yds in front or behind, and they wonder why the public has no respect for them. i also had to go to court and stand there all day with a load of pikey scumbags, makes you proud to be British.
on another note , bought myself a parking sensor which has a few added benefits, you should put one at the top of your xmas shopping list, works a treat, its called laser pro plus parking sensor, just google it and enjoy.

[smartypants]

I heard about those... how do you know it actually works?

[sunnylunn]

had another few instances of people pointing things at me, they dont get to see what i am doing, i dont condone speeding in the wrong places at the wrong times, but you never see them there do you, they are busy trying to get your money on clear straight dual carriageways. i've got one on my ed30 and my works van, they work a treat.
