Speeding Ticket Help
Picture this...
A newly built dual carriage way with a filter lane (for cars to get in front of lorrys from a set of traffic lights etc).
A BMW 3 series in the inside lane and I pull up in the lane next to him.
We both set off and im slightly ahead, not accelerating just a bit in front, as I accelerate to get a bit further ahead to pull a decent distance in front of him he accelerates at the same time so I accelerate to get in front of him before the end of the filter lane as there is a car right behind the BMW that I cant drop back into.
As I pull infront I see a car flashing at me on the other side of the road, as the car goes past theres a speed camera van about half a fucking mile away in a 50 zone.
The van was about 60 yards behind the 50 signs in a layby, and today I got a letter for doing 60 in a 40?
Obviously the speed was correct and I was in the wrong though no fault of my own wanting to nip in front of this car when I shouldnt of bothered anyway. Bearing in mind I was already tight for time on my way to work.
What would be the outcome of this? Ive had a look online and every single view is a mixed opinion and I have another piece of paper in my fine saying 3 points and 100 pound fine, or an awareness course, or a court summons?
Ive NEVER been caught speeding before and I have 3 points for a bald tyre on a moped that I got before I even had a car but they expire in August this year?
