Speeding - likely outcome?

[Lucas_LFC]

Ok, well firstly I'm not looking a lecture, know all the do's and don't's etc.

If in the overtaking lane of a dual carriageway and doing max 90, likely a bit less, what would expect to be outcome? 3 points and fine, or court etc. Didn't see the big dirty camera van until late :n:

[smiith]

3 points and a fine.. Far as i'm aware it's 30mph over the limit for instant ban to start been mentioned.. £100 fine too

[Lucas_LFC]

Aye well it was a 70 zone and was just cruising in 6th, only got the car a day lol

[blackie_2k5]

3 points and a fine as above..normally have to be 100 or more before court on a national speed limit..just depends on the circumstances..if you were driving like a knob you may get reported for careless/wreckless driving also

i got caught doing 96 and got 3 points and a fine

[Lucas_LFC]

Naw wasn't driving wreckless just overtaking. If its just that I'll take it on the chin

This tbh. I obviously never speed (ahem) but generally keep to under the tonne on the motorway just incase there's a man in a van around the corner waiting to take a picture.

You said you only had the car for a day or so - I presume it's not registered to you then? If it is, wait 14 days and if nothing comes through, you should be ok - the camera may not been have been running - unlikely admittedly but fingers crossed n 'all that :y:

[Lucas_LFC]

No its not, but its registered to my mums partner so he'll get the letter, can't get outta that one lol. Well it wasn't there the first time I went by, and within 20 mins when heading back it was there so here's hoping

Heh I wasn't suggesting getting out of it mate - pretty hard to these days tbf... just wondering. At least it's someone close to you - not like a company car or anything so you're bosses will find out lol.

They're bloody sneaky - I remember coming back from my sort of ex-girlfriends place on New Years Day one year and there was some knobhead in a van out in force parked at the side of the road... :n:

[L33h]

If its 20mph over the limit its 6 points anything under then its 3

[12u55]

New rule then leeh?
When I could done, I was doing 24 over the limit, 3 points, and 60 fine

Also, I though in Ireland, Speeding was speeding, you could do as fast over the limit, or little over the limit, and it's still 3 point and a 100euro

[Lucas_LFC]

I live in Northern Ireland which part of UK, so same laws as on the mainland. Would prefer not 6 points, is that court also?

[Ross]

If its 20mph over the limit its 6 points anything under then its 3

That's not entirely accurate...

[matt_vtr_15a]

Hope not, I just got busted by some traffic cops doing 70 in a 50.

Overtook a car getting on to the slip road of the M1 at 70, I slowed down to 50 just before I got onto the M1 as there was road works.

Got pulled afterwards, annoying as fuck as I saw the copper, who distracted my attention away from the gret big fucks off '50mph' sign that I unknowingly drove past and sensibly adhered to what I thought was the speed limit on the slip road. (Ultimate Fail)

Oh well, wait and see what they send me thru the post I guess.

[Ross]

Luckily I wasn't caught doing 180mph last week then...Bubba loves a fat man in jail...

[matt_vtr_15a]

I prayed to god the copper hadn't seen what I had done only 2mins previously, but he hadn't!!

Shame we could of showered together if we'd both been caught!!

Nearly the same as me was doing 94mph on a motorway & got 3pts & a £60.00 fine.:n:

every copper must have different laws because i got caught 2 yrs ago doing 93 on m1 and received 5 pts, cant remember fine.
he told me, if i was doing 1mph more it would have been an instant ban.

[Hazmanscoop]

You could always ask for a trial by combat

[Prickle]

My mates just been caught doing 47 in a 30 the other day lol.

Loads of camera vans out as of late.

To the OP. Most probablys your anuz will be much bigger then it is now.

3 points at least

And with that Ross proceeds to his car with the aim of once again breaking the sound barrier in hope that Matt does the same.

[MuZiZZle]
