Ever been done for speeding ?
« on: 29 January 2004, 19:23 »
Got my first fine/points through the post today :(
60 Quid and 3 points for going 43 in a 30 zone and it wasnt even in a built up area.
Id like to see where my money goes as i bet it wont be spent on the roads  >:(

yeah got shot in nottingham a few years back when wifey wanted to goto ikea!!!, they have them point a to b cams and there a right twot!!, at the time i was also insuring a motorbike so i couldnt afford points, so as it was her idea to go there she took the points and i paid the ?60!!!!!!, a few years before that i got stopped on the way back from lincoln at wragby, i was doing about 90 in a vectra, mr bike cope was gunning me then came after me, he gave it the usual speel, we denied doing that insane speed as got kids in car and asked him when his radar gun was last calibrated and wether hed got his certificate handy, this got him mad and he threatened to do me and i said go ahead cause if it aint calibrated youll get laughed out of court so he gave me a producer and told me to get off sharpish!!!!, i knew reading the ex traffic cop handbook a few weeks before would come in handy!! lol ;D ;D so at the mo been driving 12 years and zero points!! ;D

Welcome to the club mate
my conviction record reads
3 points - March 1993 - 120mph M6 - motorbike (bloody lucky with that one)
4 points - April 1993 - 86 in a 60 - motorbike (obviously thought Iwas taking the mick, after just being caught)
3 points - February 1999 - 54 in a 30 - Celica GT4 (country road, no house, small sign behind a bush, only had car a couple of days)
6 points - March 2003 - 96 in 60 - Golf Cab (impressed it manged to go that fast)
 Also been stopped more times than I care to remember, for seat belts, dodgy number plates, speeding, and riding what I found out was a bike with a stolen frame (try talking your way out of that one  :-X )

So, once again - welcome to the club, and I'm sure its the start of a beautiful career

knight rider, where'd you get that book???

I got caught doin 101.7 on the M4 near Swindon on Tuesday in my merc 316 sprinter(new havin a 160bhp van would get me in the sh!t sooner or later)

There i was mindin my own business, sat up the ares of a new mk5 TDi, checkin out, and flew right past a copper on the hard shoulder pointin a hair dryer at me!

Looks like I'm gonna get done for the dangerous drivin too, BOLLOCKS!
