Along with the other one ... :o 121kph in a 110kph - $150 and 3 points (I asked about 10% for speedo inacuracy and the copper laughed! ...lol) 140kph in a 110kph - $250 and 4 points (no excuse) All on for 3 years! ... :( NOT proud, and certainly not clever, but both times on an empty (as good as) motorway! I kinda hoped the moves would lose one of them, but they're linked to the UK driving licence so no getting away. I need a 'cruise control' ... :o |

Speeding kills, kill your speed not a child.
There are enough idiot drivers on these shores already without importing more. :frown: |

Re: Got my first speeding ticket!!! (moaning thread)
My OH just received a notice tonight - $215 and 3 points for going through a red light - 0.9 seconds too late it seems.
He (we) know it was wrong and will pay up but that amount and number of points seems a bit harsh to me! Also crapping myself because I'm pretty certain I've been a bit late through some red lights in the last couple of weeks. Do all traffic lights have camera's on them? And how many points on your license before you're banned :confused: We're not careless drivers, both been driving 15+ years in the UK with no penalty points. |
