ooooooooooooooo unlucky!
Feel for you
Unlucky Nick - where did you get caught ? proper copper or scamera van ?
Spookily that\'s my birthday date as well.
No he wasn\'t rushing up to give me a present before you all ask :P
Unlucky mate :(
Three months ago ... do I have to sit in fear for three months every time I think I've been zapped? :O_o1:
Nah, I found out before Chrimbo but they offered to let me go on a speed awareness course to avoid the points.
Thing is, the ONLY place I could do it was in the area I was nicked, so that would mean a day off work and a two hour drive to Swindon...
I tried to get on a course up here but it's not possible.
So that held up the process whilst we faffed over that.
I was nabbed doing 36 in a thirty limit so it was a thoroughyl fair cop.
In my defence it was on a dual carriageway which, about 1/4 of a mile further back, was a 50 limit but like I say, fair cop and all that.
I thought there was a turn around of 3 weeks - if you had not heard anything 3 weeks after the date of the recorded offense.
I once got caught doing 90 on the M6 by a camera. Thing is, I didn't know this until I got back from a three month stint of travelling by which time several warning letters and eventually a court summons were also waiting for me.
I phoned them to explain I had no idea I had been fined. Turned out the prosecuting officer was off sick, and they'd cancelled all of their upcoming low-importance court cases. So the whole thing was dropped, didn't even get the original £60 + 3 points.
I seem to remember paying about £80 for the DVLA to scrawl on it for me.
And then I got done again, 35 in a 30 and had to retake my test, oh what it is to be young and craaayzee!
Heh, I'm hoping I don't get any points as its still 6 & a ban for me :(
I don\'t drive any more, but was a a bit of a speed twit when I did. I first got done on the A5 at Brownhills. 46 in a 40mph zone, BUT it was 50 on the other side of the dual carriageway. I was doing the return trip and was convinced it was still 50 !
grrr
