how was you caught? speed camera? speed van? or police car following.

did your speedo read 35? cos i always thought speedo reading 35 was more like 30/31 max.

speedo adds a few mph on, to keep you safe i.e it says 30 as you go thru the camera your going about 28...

it might change it but i doubt by much, they expect people to have atleast 3 points these days lol. hope its not too bad though, and you should tell them asap.
