I got nicked for speeding.
I got a letter through the door the other day saying i'd been caught speeding. I have been fined a hundred dollars and got one point on my licence.
Whats to stop me putting the point on my UK licence?

Re: I got nicked for speeding.
They sure do. And the killer thing about those auto fines in the post is that the soulless ******* cameras do not really discriminate between 9Kph over and 12kph over (the diff between 1 point and 3 points)
At least if you get stopped by a decent constable, they will cut you some slack and write you down for a 1 pointer even if you may have been several over the 10k cutoff. That has happened to me before and it was much appreciated !

Re: I got nicked for speeding.
They don't ask for your licence to be sent with the fine do they? So they must record them electronically......
