60 + points i reckon, i had 9 up til end of last year and have challenged, its a waste of time in most cases even if the gun is reading high the limit is still 70 so i would just pay up and forget about it!

i,ve had another 3 parking attendants point at me , but they just get a blank, no numbers, nothing. have never had any probs, and you can switch it off from inside if you need to. down to them to prove you had it on, they are not illegal to have fitted :rolleyes:

I would say as it is them issuing the forms, then it is up to you to prove that you didn't have it on!

The speed limits on motorways are just a way of keeping you down and in your place.  Just like a Skoda owner to fall for that.

wouldn't be difficult would it, you just say it wasn't on.it does open my garage door as well, which is nice.
the fella with the tit comment, i had a fine which is why i got a garage door opener, as i said earlier, going over the speed limit slightly on a dry clear traffic free motorway isnt doing anyone any harm, dont condone speeding in built up areas etc, shame we are not as law abiding as you. :sick:

 I just done understand why people speed and then moan when they get caught. What do you expect, a pat on the back from the old bill. I dont like speed limits and persoanlly think we should follow the germans with their motorway speed limits :P

dont expect a pat on the back, but dont expect to get treated worse than a burglar, drug dealer, thug or rapist.
who doesn't speed at some time or another? its ok at the right time in the right place, people get annoyed when the old bill are hiding and trying to catch people out on a straight dry dual carriageway. the way things are going speeding will be worse than murder soon.

Grow up Sunny. Treated worse than a rapist, murderer, stop being so melodramatic about it.
People getting caught drink driving, disq driving get pretty harsh penalties, but you need to accept that driving is a priviledge, and not a right! That is why they come down hard on people for it, You see the articles when speeders kill people, you cannot account for other peoples driving, even if you are on a straight and clear stretch of road.
I have sped a couple of times, nothing too serious, but I know the risks, If I get caught then its no one elses fault but mine.
You need to just suck it up and accept it if you get caught.
