afraid it is deserved
i know ade but still doesnt take away the fact that he was exceedin the limit by a good bit,u take the risk,we all do,u know the law,u break it,u deserve what u get
say he hit a member of ur family travellin on that road,what would u say he deserved for that,fine and points,didny think so
if i got caught doin that speed id deserve all thats cumin to me,simply because the speed limit if 70mph

Why would he hit a member of my family travelling along a deserted Scottish motorway? The "oooh think of the kids" argument has no relevance here. He wasn't speeding in a built up area, or anywhere dangerous. It's a UK motorway, which is statistically one of the safest roads in the world. It was NOT deserved, as it was in no way dangerous.
He would have deserved it if it was speeding somewhere dangerous, but the very nature of motorways makes them intrinsically 'safe' places to exceed 70mph.
You simply cannot judge safe driving in MPH. Sometimes 15mph is very dangerous, sometimes 150mph is not. It's a question of circumstance, and only the blinkered, the foolish and the downright stupid believe that you can judge the severity of a situation purely based on mph.
Sure he knew the law, and knew what would happen if he got busted. He will get punished, but the punishment will waaaaayyy exceed the crime, and THAT is why it's not deserved.

What about standards of the roads??? I know over here there are some motorway corners that are "interesting" at 120mph so id imagine theyd be lethal above that! Not to mention some of the bumps are just rediculous for 30mph roads let alone 70mph motorways.
Fuzzy you seem to know everything about getting banned/points etc, what shows on your license for a medical revocation?? and also once i get license back do i need inform insurer i had licence revoked?? (my logic is if i have the license back, then im as safe as anyone else according to DVLA so why should i pay more insurance?).

Ade you plonker!! 
As one of your 'employers' i can write you a letter if it helps reduce the ban.
In my experience (after being stitched by the police) NEVER to say anything to them unless it's through a brief. EVERY word you say can, and will be turned on you. Even apologising infers that you knew it was very wrong and goes against you.
Fingers crossed for a short ban and fine mate.

i was doing 136 on a Dual with a 70Mph speed limit, He followed me Untill there was a Layby and at that point Grab'ed Me chucked me into the back of his T5 that struggled to catch me and not relising he was behind and said. We know full well you didnt see me but we also noticed a change of speed back to the normal 70 mph and wasnt driving like a boy racer. so i got a massive Shouting at and told to grow up as im being a little twat as he said and got me on the way
No ticket or fine or points just a big ass telling off. now i dont be a prick and keep my speed down

Camera vans etc always are on the long straights etc.... where's the sense in that?! Surely if anywhere they should be on the twisty bits, or the bits with bad surfaces etc...?

Why would he hit a member of my family travelling along a deserted Scottish motorway? The "oooh think of the kids" argument has no relevance here. He wasn't speeding in a built up area, or anywhere dangerous. It's a UK motorway, which is statistically one of the safest roads in the world. It was NOT deserved, as it was in no way dangerous.
He would have deserved it if it was speeding somewhere dangerous, but the very nature of motorways makes them intrinsically 'safe' places to exceed 70mph.
You simply cannot judge safe driving in MPH. Sometimes 15mph is very dangerous, sometimes 150mph is not. It's a question of circumstance, and only the blinkered, the foolish and the downright stupid believe that you can judge the severity of a situation purely based on mph.
Sure he knew the law, and knew what would happen if he got busted. He will get punished, but the punishment will waaaaayyy exceed the crime, and THAT is why it's not deserved.

there could be anyone broken down on the motorway in any lane,what chance does he have at that speed,he was speeding by 50mph over the limit,he got caught,he deserves the punishment end of

OK, but here is a question for you, what is more dangerous? 120MPH on a deserted motorway, or 40 in a 30 zone with parked cars, lots of pedestrians/kids/dogs etc?
Speed is not dangerous, bad driving is fucking dangerous. The two things are not the same.

ive drivin fast,and will drive above the limit in the future,but when i get caught ill deserve my punishment
to say he doesnt deserve it cos we know him or is one of the lads then its just ignorance
now if he gets a life sentence in jail then ill say he doesnt deserve that but a fine/points or ban is deserved in my book
whether its ade,my brother or anyone for that matter
what does everyone think he deserves then,let off?

....and if you don't agree with them I say you're best to try and minimise them, or even avoid them if possible.

Utterly ridiculous to define it as dangerous just for doing that sort of speed given the conditions IMHO

Shit news Ade, especially as you need your licence for your work, no more travelling up to the Highlands for bits for your Mk3 for a while !!!!
3 year ago i got caught doing 111 on my bike on the A96 near Dalwhinnie, was originally charged with dangerous driving and solicitor told me to expect a possible 12 month ban and resit of driving test as well as a monster fine.
Plead guilty at first opportunity ( they had it all on video so pointless trying to fight it ) and got a 2 month ban and Ł350 fine so got off lighter than was expecting too ! It all depends on the judge on the day really, as well as all the mitigating factors like type of road you were on, weather conditions and visibility etc, also any previous convictions get frowned upon and taken into consideration when working out a sentence.
The 2 month off the road soon went past for me anyway and was just a pain having to get my wife to run me to work every day ! My insurance doubled as well after that !!!!

plenty of people here who have been caught doing silly speeds, me included, but it all depends on the copper who was coppering that day who caught you
i've outrun the police helicopter while it was chasing another car along the M25, now, i don't know if it would have caught me, or i outran it, or if it was just sitting on the tail of the audi and missed me altogether, but the copper pulled me over and said if the opter had caught me i'd be in trouble and to be on my way
considering that on certain parts of the journey i'd been doing well in excess of double the motorway limits i thoguht i was going to be walking form there
but in all my encounters with the constabulary when it comes to vehicl related offences (i even got done for dangerous driving in a bus for overtaking a copper who was parked up on the side of the road and went to court for it) once it goes to court, you are in trouble
i've also been done for going through red lights and speeding like a loon when i took my boy to hospital one might when he had his nut allergy flare up, i told the copper that i was driving within the capabilities of the car and the road conditions when he stopped behind me at a+e and he was fine about it, considering it was midnight and there was no traffic about and i was signaling etc
i've also been stopped by a copper for "making excess noise from under my bonnet" when he stepped out off the pavement with his arm up
and been stopped for joining the ring road in watford too fast from a side road (saw the gap, pulled out, floored it)
it really does depend first on teh copper who's pulled you over and what their mindset is, if they are going to fuck you over then it's pointless arguing
and if you are doing 50 mph over the limit and they are going to fuck you, then just get it over and done with and find a way to reduce the length of the ban rather than fight the good fight and claim it's unfair and disproportionate to the heniuosness of the crime

how did you get dangerous driving??? did you side swipe an oncoming vehicle or something?? or was the copper just being a cock? what did he expect you to do, park up and wait 20 minutes till he moves on i've also been done for going through red lights and speeding like a loon when i took my boy to hospital one might when he had his nut allergy flare up, i told the copper that i was driving within the capabilities of the car and the road conditions when he stopped behind me at a+e and he was fine about it, considering it was midnight and there was no traffic about and i was signaling etc
was he on drugs or something??

Abe, I got caught exactly the same way in exactly the same place doing 107. Got a one week ban and a 150 quid fine. It's all about the mitigating circumstances.

What? What kind of twisted argument is that? In 16 years of driving I've never seen a car 'parked' on the motorway. And even at speed he'd have time to react and steer around an obstacle - It was 120, not 160!
He does not deserve the punishment he will get, and have you honestly never driven that fast?
He does not deserve the punishment he will get, and have you honestly never driven that fast?
maybe not best example to use but end of the day,speed limit is 70mph,he was doing 120,he took the risk got caught so deserves his punishment
tryin to use work commitments and excuses to worm out of it wont wash,if it means that much u dont speed simple
as my earlier post that u obviously didnt see,yes i have exceeded the limit and will do so in the future but if and when im caught il deserve to get punished cos i know the law
ive never seen a parked car either on any motorway,doesnt mean it doesnt happen,never seen a million quid,does that mean its not real
if ade gets 2 life sentences or gets hung then ill maybe say he doesnt deserve that lol
but he'll prob get couple of hundred quid fine and points,maybe a ban,but id bet in the future he'll drive over the limit again,will he not deserve that either if he's caught
anyway im had enuff repeatin myself,end of day im not the one he needs to convince
