Default Beware if u speeding

just read this off the snooper site & these are the points u will get if ur speeding in a 30 zone & on the motorway.

have a look @ this now & c how easy it is 4 police 2 take u license
wat do u guys think....

The police used to have an unwritten rule of allowing motorists 10% plus 2 miles an hour over the speed limit, so in a 30 zone you would get an allowance up to 35 before prosecution. In recent years this has now gone out the window as the police get to keep the money from speeding fines (for re-investing into 'safety' cameras). Penalty point endorsements on driving licences for speeding are usually given along the following lines:


Exceeding the limit between 5 and 14mph - 3 points
Exceeding the limit between 15 and 19mph - 4 points
Exceeding the limit between 20 and 24mph - 5 points
Exceeding the limit between 25 and 29mph - 6 points
Exceeding the limit by 30mph or more - instant banned

You can also be fined up to £1,000 and insurance renewal premiums will also be hefty...

Didn't know the different points for different speeds but have always been aware that if your over the limit by 30mph+ then it's an instand ban!

These guidelines are different on every site you go on about speeding.
