Yet another speeding post

[therock]

I imagine a TD jeep would be a bit of a struggle to even get to 85 in the first place, what kind of jeep was it? Could use official manufacturers figures to prove they couldn't have got to that speed or something

Has anyone else tried this? I didnt admit to doing 85 and he hasnt said I have in his statement

i was recently talking to a very high ranked police officer, and he said there are a few ways you can get away with it, weather conditions are one, in heavy rain the machine can get false values and the rain messes with the lazers apparently.

another thing is that a police speed gun MUST be calibrated every morning before it is take out to catch people, this is one to look into, iv heard of people getting off by finding out the camera wasnt calibrated that morning, so the value it shows could be either too fast, or even too slow

Thats a bit harsh going to court for 45 in 30. I always thought you had to be 20mph+ over the limit for court.

A waste of time for the courts IMO.

i was busted doing 53 in a 30 and dont have to go to court

Ah shat.

Just read the statements again there, the 2nd officer DID see the speedo and it read 85. But they dont have me on camera/video/or laser doing that speed

i got scouped doing 100.3mph in a 70 mph ... anyone any ideas on that? was at half 12 at night on an empty road ...gonna go to a solicitor and see what my chances of keeping the books are

over 100 norm means bye bye license

u'll be lucky to keep it

i got done doin 87 in a 60 a few years ago and just got 3 points and a fine....no court. pretty lucky i thought.

I got caught doing and average of 104mph in a 70
It went to court and I got a fine and 5 points
So I’d say you’ll keep the licence

I was stopped doin 53 in a 30.... Got the usual 3 points and £60... Although that same day I did get a £30 fine for no seat belt too... Bastids! £90 in one day on two seperate occasions.. Wasn't a happy bunny!!

perhaps kus not wearing a seatbelt is utter stupidity?

53 in a 30 must have been pretty close to going to court!
I reckon you were lucky to get off with the 3 points.

eg a mate of mine was stopped at 82 in a 60 and the cop told him one more mph and he wouldn't have been able to give him points as it would have to go to court.

3 points and 100beer token fine
