Fil

a semi result then

BM08

What did you do?

Maria.

apparently i was speeding!

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

result if job is safe i'd say!

good luck

Red16

sorry to hear the news kidda

what were you doing and where?

Maria.

110mph on the A12 coming back from Billericay!

Cossiep

I very rarely use said road but even I could see that speed on that road would end in tears

BM08

most of us have done it but if you got caught then you got caught, you cant say you never realised either

Fingers crossed aint it

S1rst

A good result then, i think id rather have a 28 day ban then be on the limit with the points as a totting up ban would get you a 6 month ban.

(a good result providing the jobs safe though of course)

alan12112

So no points for doing almost double the speed limit on an a road?

was it a dual carrigeway?

You lucked out there IMO

why didn't u offer the judge personal favours..???...........could have ended up with money in ur pocket...........

percybigun

not too bad a result there.

alan, they never give points aswell as a temporary ban. thats the up-side of having one instead of having loadsa points hanging over you for 3 years (like i had!)

shouldnt have give them the satisfaction of crying in the court though!

pete mcrash

iTrader: (1)

....but isn't a ban worse than points...????....cos u've actually been taken off the road

Chris Honeywell

Not really as they could of given her 9pts say then one more time caught doing 35 in a 30 and shes banned for 6 months...


And from what i was told a few years back when i had a 28 day ban (93 in a 60)

up and inc 40mph over the limit the max ban they can give you is 28 days (so duty solicitor told me)

turbo_boost

Maybe but you got banned just for a bit points means you kept getting caught a ban you only comitted one offence

C4llyT

Insurance quotes may be interesting after a ban, but still nice to not get any points, as would have been 6 minimum.
I'd be quite happy with that really.

Rhys

Nightmare, hope everything is OK with job though Maria!

rst in breaking

iTrader: (2)

good result considering, sorry you got caught though and hope the jobs ok

Maria.

Well i have the backing of my DP, my business manager and my sales manager!

SO it is all in HR's hands now! But has been suggested i may just have to take a 28 day holiday!


The guy who went in before me was charged with 130mph on a motorbike, he was banned for 28 days too and with a £500 fine i think!

Does anyone else have NO idea of what a "DP" is when its not in the context of a porn film, and im sure that isnt how she means it?

Sounds good though if you get away with just taking some unpaid leave and still have a job to go back to

Nicole

Do you have to drive daily in your job Maria? Might sound daft but is it stipulated in your contract of employment?

Moonstone Steve.

iTrader: (2)

Not a bad result all in hun, good luck with your job on thursday.

Steve

Maria.

Nicole - yes chick! Im not even insured to sit in a car with a customer if i have no licence!!!


Chip - Dealer Principal! What else could it be?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

good result considering


double pen

JonnyBravo

I ended up with a £600 fine and 9 points for a similar incident so count yourself lucky ! I so wish I'd of had a ban tbh as those points stopped me from being able to have a nice car for a few yeas.

IIRC a ban stays on your license for 10 years, I know people with them and their insurance wasnt' affected though.

Best of luck with the HR

biglee

flippin heck i was doing 130 on a bike and got a 6 month ban... lucky bastard..

Chip
