Pulled by police

[ldavies]

Well got pulled over last night for the first time ever by the police for doing 55 on a dual carrige way wich I thought was a 60 but police pointed out to me that it was a 50. Anyway they were very understanding about it and did a check on vehicle and took my name and address but never asked to see my driving license and told me to get on my way wich I thought was very reasonable of them. Just wanted to no if I could expect anything else to come of this. Cheers.

I wouldn't expect anything to be honest, unless they are sly and sent you a speeding ticket which i doubt

[frankie]

[peebee]

[ldavies]

Just trying to fill their quotas now before the New Year comes in. Driving late at night, hopefully a drink driver.

Would of given you notification of intended prosecution if they wer going to take it further.
TBH 55 in a 50 isn't something most police would bother about as they tend to allow around 10% for speedo inaccuracy. Probably more of a random stop/check to make sure you hadn't been drinking etc

[ldavies]

Ye they did say to me you've got to understand with it been Christmas time were pulling a lot of vehicles ie as said drink drivers.

[ldavies]

I think it was also with the car been quite loud as well as one of the officers said have you got one of them great big exhaust systems on it as we heard you passing and he was having a laugh about it wich suprised me.

[Andy_K]

I wouldn't worry then mate

nah dont worry bout it mate.there is a 5mph tolerence on the speed limit of a main road anyway.its zero tolerence in residental and built up areas.if they were gonna do u they would have served u wit a penalty notice.they were obviously just bored.i only no this because my sis is a copper in ireland....it has its advantages lol

Not true according to the police i've spoken to.

You'll be fine though mate, they would have said if things might go further.

dont expect anything would have done it there and then on the spot :y:

[kcsaxo]

first time ive ever read of a dual being 50mph, its always 30/40/70 round my end.

[al_VTR]

Dual's can be any speed limit if stated. One just done the road from my house has been changed to 50 in the last year - near the Uni & lot of accidents happened with people trying to cross the road.

[dunny123]

i dont think anything will happen m8

[Add91289]

dual carriage way is 70

[willdotman]

[GRAHAM2000VTR]
