Cop on opposite site of slip road facing me, another 1 mile down the road pulled me in, basically court summons

What’s the good site for info, need to try at least and get out of it?

Any other advice on getting out of it?

Got to produce my documents and wait for the summons I suppose?


Likely out come????

Adam_BlackRS

Got any previous convictions ?

Possible a ban IMO.

Mate got done at 103 mph on M1 at 3am and got a 28 day ban and a £700 fine.

Should imagine something like that

i had 6 points for over 100 mph ave speed back in 98 tho.

log onto pepipoo.com

prob looking gonne be charged with dangerous driving which is a 12month ban unless you can bring it down to careless driving which varies - I got a 42 day ban once instead of the 12month dangerous driving charge.

I got caught 35mph over the limit and got 5 points & £350 fine, but the copers withness statment got me off lightly, he said it was a clear road, dry and sunny and i wasnt being dangerous.

103 in a 70 limit in it self is not classed as dangerous driving.

Pull yer pants down lube up and take what the judge gives you am afraid.

I got caught doing 111mph on a quiet stretch of the A9 year and a half ago and was banned for 2 month and fined £350 quid

Was told to expect anything up to a 12 month ban and also possible resit of driving test !!!

All depends on the judge on the day i think mate as the one i got was seemingly the best of the bunch so worked in my favour.

Also my lawyer saying that i had sold my bike helped as well !

if this actually made any sense perhaps we could advise you,try telling us the actual details again but in a bit more detail.

Fil

fair point



blue square my car , red square cop car parked up, who clocked me at 105, then radio'd through to another car about 1 mile up the road. was then pulled in and told to wait until the originall parked up ( red square on picture ) came , the cop from that car then took my details, and gave me a small bit of paper, with reason for stop ( offenes ticked ) and told me to produce the documents ( 7 days )

rssteve

do you know where he clocked you at(position). as i didn't think speed guns work aswell from the angle you should have shifted it up that slip road, did you see the copper then ikn the red car?

iTrader: (1)

did he tell you how fast you were going? or is that how fast you think you were going?

BarryPort

No problem, im 19, caught in my fathers X-type at 105MPH over 2.4 miles, walked out of court last wed with 4 points and a £400 fine. first offence.

Fil

told by both of the coppers 105,

the pictures a bit compressed, so was a bit further away, wasnt really taking notice of the cars / traffic on the otherside of the barrier

Micky The Finn

i hope you didnt admit to anything as if your diagram is correct they cannot do fook all,was the red car copper sat in the car?

Fil

i told them nothing, incrimnating a hope! , didnt tell them what speed i was going etc,

they told me,

tho i didnt ask for any evidence either, he did have a black box about 4 x 3 x 5"s in his hand when he got out the car, left on his bonnet?

the scale of the diagram, somewhere between a mile to 1/2 a mile i think,

rabmc

Ban , and if your one lucky boy and judge is in a good mood , if you need to drive to work you may get a big big fine , but put my money on a ban

Micky The Finn

so what did they use to record your speed?

it cannot be a ban if no evidence,glad some of these fookers on here arnt judges!!

Moonie

I got caught at 101mph a while ago.

I ended up in court and the outcome was £180 fine and 6 points.

Iain Mac

As said there are rules about the angles they can clock you at using radar and laser (to be scientific, it's something to do with Doppler effect and variations increasing as angles increase).
Lots of useful info on Pepipoo.

If both cars are operating Vascar over a measured distance, first car can clock you in and make a simple radio call to the second so he can clock you out as you pass their second marker (bridhe, lamp post or whatever.

Fil

second car wernt timing anythning, just parked up, will just have to wait and see if i get a summons, then ask for any evedince of the 105mph?

I take it i can ask for the evidence before court?

correct, they must produce evidence in court and yes you will be made aware of it (through your solicitor ) before the court case.

Interesting.

I have heard that if the police are not parked in a legal position that they ar enot able to take your speed reading. I have heard of one person evading a ticket this way.

It does seem quite strange for them to pick you up from the other side of the carriageway.

As above, go to pepipoo for more info.

ps. if it sticks you are over 100mph so expect a ban.

aduz

take yer cop like a man u wimp

Fil

nope, gotta try my luck!

Terry Tibbs

So are you going to try and blag that Mr. Coppers state of the art speed recording device actually read 35mph over your actual speed.

God speed..

Fil

err worth a go

edd

depends if you signed the paper thing that says you admit to speeding. if you did your fucked mate.

never sign the paper thingy as its an admission of guilt.

arkley

Make sure next time you take your car out you enjoy driving it just in case you get banned, otherwise just do your homework on it and hope for the best

i was told that breaking the limit by 30 mph is normally a banable offence so lets see what happens

can't see the diagram but if he's on the other side of the road he won't be able to do squat really, if you say there is a barrier in the way and the like anything could have bounced the beam back

a simple "I was driving along with the flow of traffic m'lud and the next thing i know i was asked to pull over by the officer in the car" should work in this case

saff_cossie

At 105mph up the slip road he was passing do you mean?

From reading what others have put, the rules seem to have changed a bit since I was in the UK as over 100mph was a ban for normally a fair time. Maybe as more people are being caught at those speeds, different ban lengths are coming into play.

If the road was clear and weather was good, I feel for you mate. I am a believer in tightening up cameras around schools and pedestrian areas and relaxing a bit more on the motorways/dual A roads.

Micky The Finn

lucks got nothing to do with it,if the car that alledgedly recorded your speed was parked as per your diagram then THEY CANNOT PROSOCUTE YOU AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


a little info for everybody here.

IF THE OFFICER IS SAT IN HIS CAR USING THE RADAR GUN OUT OF THE WINDOW THE POLICE CAN NOT GET A SAFE CONVICTION AGAINST YOU,AND TRUST ME,IVE ACTUALLY TAKEN THIS TO COURT AND WON,...........TWICE!!!!!

saff_cossie

Is that why you have 2 Gold Member banners?

If this is the case, why do they bother using them, just to deter people?
