98 on the M4 by Thames Valley Police.

Had I been doing 96 (or below) the copper would have been able to issue a fixed penalty. Over 96 and he has no choice - it goes to court. (That's what he said anyway).

Obviously no offer of a course... I got 5 points and a £225 fine.

Laser cameras do work at night by the way...  :cry:

Could been worse if you had been 2 miles an hour faster 5 points is better than a ban

58 in a 50 on the A149 in Norfolk- caught by a mobile camera which was in an average speed check zone (go figure!) If you're in Norfolk- they are held at UEA, lasts about 4 hours.

Funniest thing that morning was a blond girl who was late- she said she had to speed to get there, and she was being serious about that like it's an OK thing to do :)

Clean licence

I can't read nor write but I can understand these markings:



And why I should abide by them

Common sense applies yes, however we're not all squeaky-clean are we?  :wink:
