I know at least 2 people that did 101 in a 70 and got 3 points + Ł60 fine and had to attend a speeding course.

There is hope for you.

Unlucky.

I would do a bit of research though as more than likely you can (as mentioned) get off quite lightly.

That is ofcourse if you haven't got a shed load more of those coming from further down the road

Cheers for your comments....I think! LOL!

I've got my mate whos a crime solicitor on the case....first stop is get the proof off them!!

I knew I'd been done as I saw the van, I really thought I was doing about 95mph....obviously 14yr old Renault speedo's arent that accurate!!

Points, fines, courses I can handle, a ban I really cant as I'm self employed & have got clients all round the area and in other parts of the country.

No-one but myself to blame but I'll have everything crossed in the meantime!!!

Things they could do....

a.) Dry anally rape me (tempting to say the least!)

b.) Ban me for x months

c.) Points & a hefty fine

d.) Slap me on the wrist & tell me I've been a very naughty boy & not to do it again

e.) Loose the photographic evidence & let me off scot free

f.) Admit that the camera hadnt been calibrated since the year 2000

I'd say options a. d. e. & f. are mostly likely not to happen..... b. probably is going to happen & c. I will be thankful for if it does happen!!!

Lee you will be fine, they will take one look at the picture and say that a clapped out old piece of french shite has no chance of ever doing a ton so then scrap your letter and then proceed to get there camera calibrated



hope you get sorted for the better m8
