jamesmark Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah 3 points an £60. It won't be anything more than that. Get someone with a GPS to lend you it to check your speedo i.e. Road Angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 cheers matey, mates got one so i'l do that tonight. 6 points nopw oh yipee increase in insurance here we come Fear not some companies do not bother with up to 3-6 points. When I received my 6 points for 97 in a 60 my premium remained the same, that was with Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I got 3 points and Sky just said "oh dont worry we've all done it" and that was it sent the paper work in and it didnt make a difference. It did make a big difference when I was looking for TVR insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 i dont no know if this works but id give it a go if i got caught i got this emailed to me by my mum she thought id have good use for it hth Speeding the truth! Just thought I would share this with you, as I work in the speeding fine department in Swindon's Magistrate's Court and in the course of my investigation into "fines, their payment methods, and how points are automatically added against driver’s licences" we discovered something very interesting "If You Get a Speeding Fine." This has been tried and it works I tried to send this to everyone I know. I know that for a fact is works so if you ever get in this situation, you have an out. We discovered that this procedure works nationwide. Read it and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your license. This is how it works: If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you are going to get points on your licence, then there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get your fine, send in the cheque to pay for it and if the fine is say, £40, then make the cheque out for £41 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a cheque for the difference, but here is the trick! **DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHEQUE!!!** Throw it away!! Points are not assessed to your licence until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the cheque, then the transactions are NOT complete. However, the system has gotten its money and is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer company that sets up the standard database used by each county's computing system.

Cheers for that mate, i have heard it doesnt work as well, but thank you anyhow. My police mate has told me not to send in the letter and most the time they cant be arsed to send out a second.
