What did you get banned for? 2 years is clearly something a bit more serious than 34 in a 30...

Clearly far too naughty to be posted.  :grin:

152mph :(

I don't need a lecture just advice on a radar detector please mate.
I'm not a 17 year old boy racer,just require some extra protection.
Please dont make out you never speed,be it on purpose or not.

I got banned for speeding btw just a little bit excessive on the motorway at 4am

With all due respect, it sounds like you do. You have been convicted of doing 154mph on the motorway, which is nothing short of stupid. Before you've even got your license back you're trying to get recommendations on devices that will help prevent you from getting caught speeding.

There's no magic trick to not getting caught. It's actually really simple. Follow the speed limit and you wont get convicted of speeding. A large number of motorists manage it, so you should be able to. It's a lot cheaper than a radar detector as well.

Oh, and for the record, I don't speed - If I want to drive fast i'll go to a track. Job done.

Nissan 300zx 3.0 v6 twin turbo id been building over 6 years to race at the pod.Was coming back from the pod to get to work in the morning so set off early as there would be nothing on the roads.
Got into autopilot mode and didnt see the copper pulling onto the slip road,took him a mile to catch up with me and then he clocked me over and average mile.
They did me for speeding and dangerous driving and resisting arrest as i refused to leave my car at the side of the road to go to the nick with him until someone had come to sit with my car.

Agreed it was far too fast etc but its not like it was rush hour.Also got my license revoked which im hopefully about to get back when i take my test at 14:30 this afternoon.

So you never cruise at 80mph on the motorway? Your speed never strays above 60mph on an a-road? Bullsh!t! :rolleyes:

No. Why is it so hard for people to believe there are people who stick to the speed limits?

When I was younger, I used to speed a bit (not a lot). Came to the conclusion I rarely got there any quicker and it wasn't really worth it. Now, I stick to the speed limits. I drive a car that makes a hobby of drinking fuel in insane quantities. On the road, I like to keep the very low MPG up as high as possible.

On track, however, it's a very different story!

To OP, i'm not trying to piss on your chips - just saying that perhaps you need to change your mentality if you want to keep your license.
