Has anyone been caught doing 140mph+?

What were you charged with and what punishment did you get?

thanks

Tim

 

i think you get a free tube of KY for that mate

 

And a bit of rope bro

 

Oh dear!!!

not that fast......

my brother just got 6 points and Ł500 fine for 103 on the motorway!!

 

cheers for the helpful comments

 

just say you're a policeman testing the boundaries of your car

Going twice the speed limit they gona be really nasty about that, best of luck

 

Anything over 120mph and they are likely to try and charge you with dangerous driving as well as the excess speed. At the very least you will be looking at a 12 month ban.

On the pluss side you can't be given a ban and points fro the same offence, it's an either/or scenario

 

timb551, Have you been caught doing that speed? What's the reason for asking

 

Mate got done for 148 on his bike.............18 month ban and Ł1170 fine and the judge said he was lucky he didn`t get a custodial...

And it was his first offence ever...

Guess it`s how the beak feels on the day mate.....

 

my best mate was caught last weekend doing 140 on a dual carriage way.

been charged with dangeous driving.

he's currently got a clean license.

he just needs an idea of what is going to happen to him. he is v worried and not sleeping much.

 

going to be a lengthly ban for sure mate, unless he can convince the court he HAS to have a license or it'l ruin his life (work, family commitments etc)....

doesn't look good

 

What were the circs mate.......

Camera,paced by vehicle.?

Did he stop straight away etc.....


My mate didn`t stop straight away ended up with loads of vehicles from 2 force areas after him down the motorway,so he got stuffed...

 

copper with laser gun. stopped straight away.

two bikes behind him didn't get stoped which is slightly unfair.

 

I thought that anything 30mph+ over the limit your in was an instant ban these days!

People have done 6 months inside for speeds around that figure!

 

Where was the copper stood..? was he in or out of the vehicle..? was he standing near a road sign etc..?

Reason i am asking is that there are a lot of things that can affect speed guns and the ACPO have strict guidelines which the wooden tops don`t always follow and your brief can exploit to your favour...

 

well he still has his license. so not instant ban, just pray he can get it down to driving without due care?

 

Well here is a story, and i tell you its the truth...

Friend of mine was in his subaru going down the motorway and he had 2 people in the car. He was seeing what he could get out of it, anyway he gets pulled over and starts shitting himself cos he knows he was caught doing high speeds, goes like this

Cop - Do you know what speed you were doing there?

driver - Sorry I really dont, 70?

Cop - Lets be honest here we both know you werent doing 70

at this point the driver just thinks fuck it im screwed anyway

driver - I honestly dont know i know it was probably 100+mph

Cop - 100?? It came up 147 mph on our gun, good lad, didnt know these went that quick, have a good day, on your way.....

 

same my mate wasn't so lucky.
I think the copper as standing on a bridge.

 

I'm amazed he wasn't arrested on the spot actually.
