Caught speeding oooppps!!!

[Saint Steve]

Not to put any more of a downer, if you do escape with 6 points and a Fine, you cant pretty much say it will be near on impossible to find

anyone that would Cover you in future for your insurance policy in the GTi with a big speeding offence on it.Being that you are a young

driver, those insurance companys dont like young drivers as it is in a high group insurance car.Same as Crissy will feel it alittle come

renewel with a speeding ticket, but his age will help keep the increase down somewhat.

These examples are food for thought for us all. It doesnt hit home untill someone you know gets caught.Once you hit 3 figure speed, your gambling 

with your licence.

i was 21 when i got the gti with 8 points and a CD10 (6 month careless driving ban) and i still got insured!! the gti's arnt super cars, there hot hatches and reletavly easy to insure, oh and i did a quote on my mates ST the other day and it was 1000 more than the GTI.

dont worry if you get a ban, insurence will still be very possible. 

Sorry joe, im not used to having a 4 figure yearly insurance premium with my age and NCD. i start swetting if mines over £500!!

My son got a 3 month ban for going 103 mph over a mile distance and had to do a re test+ fine.

It was a marked car pulling onto the M62 from Brighouse, he showed me the video and I was way ahead of him to start with so it is unlikely he ever clocked my actual speed so thats why I dont know how he can say it was 118 avg. It was 1.30am and dark so thats why I didnt notice him, he didnt put the lights on until he saw me stop at the red lights at the top of the M606.

Already got a renewal quote assuming I get six points and its goes up £120. It was through confused.com and they dont ask what I got the points for just how many. Might ask further along the line maybe. Prepared to pay upto £1500 max.

I could easily get a job in Cheshire with my Dad and try use that as an excuse not to get banned as its 50+ miles away and cant see them putting me out of a job to claim the dole now.

I take it he had his license less than 2 years?

....Your judgement of being "way ahead of him" is unlikely to match the fact that, as SO8 posted, he doesn't have to be that close to you. If he didn't manage to get firm evidence of your offence he would have told you so and just given you a stern warning.

He's not going to put on his 'blues' until such time he wants you to know he's there and wanting to stop you.

True...Ive accepted I was driving like a tosser and just hoping I get abit of luck and keep my license.

Wonder what my Dad will say when I tell him 

Suppose its my license, my car, my problem.

Had nothing but bad luck since I got the Edition 30. Both wing mirrors have been clipped (1 by a bus and 1 by someone pulling into my lane) a new engine and now this.

The video is often zoomed right back .... which gives an impression of a car being farther away than it is to the human eye in real life.  Officers keep the video zoomed back as when they approach junctions and the like it catches more of what their eye sees if something happens - the downside is that is can make a car look distant when infact it is not too far away.
