4leks Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Was driving thru Regents Park in London today, Outer Circle. Due to heavy traffic in St Johns Wood was running very late in to my meeting with solicitors. Road almost empty (as usual Outer Circle is) Spotted those guys with radar to late unfortunately...I wasn't really speeding, just wanted to test my Auto box on manu mode as gearbox appeared to be working strage. Got caught @ 52 leptons Originally they've said word "court" but I smiled to them and said "come on guys it is my first speed penalty in my life...never before...I'm so carefull driver...lets be nice to each other...I do admit my fault and not trying to convince your guys that I was speeding due to running late to hospital or other b***shit....bla-bla-bla" 2 out of 3 police guys were OK but one of them seem didn't like me...Wanted to proceed with white "court" paper as he was saying that it is almost double of the limit & you can get banned for "double" but looked on other 2...they were smiling... Said OK, I got my first 3 points & £60 fine and I left smiling consider myself lucky in this situation. Anyway nobody could believe that I'm driving Supra and never got any speed fines. Which was true till today's lunchtime Was almost 1 hour late on the meeting, but gearbox is OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4leks Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 erm....congratulations? thx TBH I'm not dissapointed at all... They made me smile. It was my fault, I knew that sometimes they do monitor speed there. Therefore no excuses. Main thing not get another 3-6 within next 3 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_blackman Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I must do 80-90k a year driving and i still got a clean license somehow its great I'll be annoyed when I do though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Shame cos it is so easy to go above 30mph on that road. I've never seen the law around there tho. Too bad they're doing stupid speed monitoring like that and not patrolling the crime ridden streets in nearby Somers Town, or getting rid of the 1000s of crackheads in Camden. Either that or strolling around Regents Park I kid you not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4leks Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 I must do 80-90k a year driving and i still got a clean license somehow its great I'll be annoyed when I do though.... depends where u drive if you do more motorway miles you have less chance to be caught I guess unless u are doing 80k miles per annum in London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4leks Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Shame cos it is so easy to go above 30mph on that road. yeap outer circle is always empty, just couple of traffic lights normally green...i found myself often speeding there, doing at least 40 leptons - it is difficult to hold 30 there, no markings, no traffic, wide road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I get a lift to work most days, and the bloke drives like a complete prick, we have been through 30 zones at 50+, always changing lanes without indicating, and he doesn't have any points. Just goes to show how good the system works:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs H Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's not nice when you've got a clean licence, mine was clean for seven years, then I got done earlier this year at 39 in a 30 less than 1/4 mile from home. I could have kicked myself Vicki x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
