mr lover Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Got stopped for speeding on the M4 today, showed me the gun with the dreaded figure 101mph However as I have a clean license and the motorway was pretty clear, dry etc... He gave me a fixed penalty notice, 3 points and £60 fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Lucky indeed for getting off with that, but why would you do that speed on a public road anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well yes, is not relevant? Do you drive at over 100 on a motorway? I certainly don't because you're just asking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lover Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very lucky Gary. Last time I got pulled I got a couple of tossers. I know mate, as a rule I am very careful to keep under the 100mph hence the close reading I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Lucky indeed for getting off with that, but why would you do that speed on a public road anyway? Because that's what the speed limit on a motorway should be anyway. 70MPH was but into force back in the sixty when cars and there remould tyres were not capable of those speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've driven way over that speed on a motorway I normally cruise with the rest of the cars at 80-90mph, but sometimes when there's no one about (or no cars that could be police) it's nice to whack it in 4th and floor it for a few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nurotix Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Good news is 3 points tends to make absolutely no difference to your insurance premium. Didn't they offer you the option of a speed awareness course instead as it's your first offense?! Sometimes as much as it sucks you just have to be polite, apologetic and kiss some ass. I've always been let off in the past. (not been caught doing 101mph though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
