please help am i gonno get 3 points

[saxo-dude-16v]

it was a 30 zone and there was a mobile speed van, and i was doing 34-35.

[JamesR]

I think 34 is the cut off point mate.

You may have been Lucky or Unlucky, just wait and see what comes through the letter box.

[bald24]

How are we supposed to know better than you?! :P

[Tom_Crx]

Might get away with it if you are VERY lucky

[raunchz]

I'm sure you'll be fine at that speed - taking into account the speedo error and then the speed camera was prob set at 40 as the limit for catching people.

[mik]

10% +2 is the lowest calibration i think.. you will be ok;

[saxo-dude-16v]

cheers all, next time ill need to keep a better look at my speedo

[Jordysport]

I'm sure you'll be fine at that speed - taking into account the speedo error and then the speed camera was prob set at 40 as the limit for catching people.

it won't be set at 40 as not all speedo's have the error some are calibrated or extremely accurate such as my midget's one is about +-0.5mph. they are normally set at 43mph but technically they can set them to 41mph. ;)

well thats what they are down here. ;)

[AXracing]

Each force enforce different limits. A lot of forces work off 10% + 2mph. So going by that you would be fine. But some are stricter. Don't forget though if you have bigger diameter tyres you will actually be going faster then the indicated speed. Even if you do get fined its not the end of the world. Just drive a little more sensible and future and your fine. Even on a provisional you can get 6 point and on a full its 12 if I recall correctly. So plenty of leeway.

[Chloeex]

If you dont hear anythin after 3 weeks i think, then your fine. Normally they give a percentage allowance on top of the speed limit, so you might get lucky.

2 weeks i think. maybe youll get lucky and it get lost in amongst all the post left over from the strikes lol

[vtrsarah]

Fingers crossed you was lucky

[Junaid]

i think they might let you off with that one
normally i think they will get you if your doing 40

[stupotvtr]

saxo speedos are about 5mph out anyway so you might of been doing less :y:

[Barry123]

you'll probably be put up for execution you wicked wicked child.

[Darlo-paul]

or more

[Mochachino]

10 points disqualified and a 2000£ fine mate. Youl be very lucky if you get anything les than that! Make the most of driving while you can!

Pure lies dont take any notice

agreed mines 5 out at 60 but its less at slower speeds for some reason according to sat nav,i think youll be fine though :)

[-shuggles-]

mines is out 4 miles an hour and its got vtr wheels so you should be fine

[toms_vtr]

Your fine the speedos are always out. Your were probably Doing about 30

[dean1992]

On road wars they wer showing mobile speed cameras
They gave in a 40 anyone going over 48 a ticket
Hopefully you will be ok

[Lew_C]

around my area its 10% + 4mph.
bearing in mind at 34 on my saxo speedo im actually doing 30 so its actually nearer 45 on the speedo around by me to get done in a 30

if that was 34 to your speedo, providing it doesn't under-read (some can) you'll be fine mate.

your ring piece will remain in-tact

[DevilDamo]

The police have 14 days to send you a NIP from the date of the offence, so just wait a couple of weeks. If you hear nothing, count yourself lucky.

[djmartin]

it was a 30 zone and there was a mobile speed van, and i was doing 34-35.

naughty boy.

your gonna be put in prison for a year, ass raped till you bleed, drink spunk like its full cream milk and then have the pleasure of wlaking out of prison with a melon shoved up yah bottom by the wardon as a fair well jeasture.


was I at all accurate with that guys? lol:P

[DevilDamo]

Nope. That's what happens when you're doing 36-37 in a 30 :p

[NICK2506]

If your doing between 33mph and 39mph iirc you may get offered a driving awareness course.

I got caught a couple of months ago by a van doing 47mph in a 30mph zone and I'm going on a special young drivers awareness course and getting no points. I consider myself lucky tbh, and have learnt my lesson!

Our lass did the same but she had to do the course in the couty she was speeding in, so she had to drive back down to middlesbrough which cost as much as the fine and extra insurance.

She said it was basically telling you if you hit a kid at 30, hell be shithot. 32 and hes a dead man.

And I got four points and a £100 fine for doing 48mph in a 30mph zone... nice. That was back in 2002 though.

yeah my course is in the county where i got caught, but its only the county next to mine, so not too far :)

yeah im very lucky tbh. was on the A30 in sunningdale. a stupid van parked up opposite the station :n:
i thought i would be going to court tbh.

Going to/from the Bagshot direction? That little stretch of road where the crossing is quite dangerous and so doing 47mph there is quite dangerous... with the local shops, the railway line, the supermarket, the zebra crossings, etc... And the ghey speed camera just up the A30 near the bus stops.

[Elliott]

36mph woulda been fine.

its 10% plus 2mph.
