Got a shock as we were cruising at 90 + most the way,and saw treble figures a few times,have a small plate on the front as well,and have been told on a few instances to remove it,as camera vans can only read standard plates,well that is bull,lol

Cunts .. At least you have the option of a course, I got done for 40 in a 30, so will be getting 3 points as the west midlands conspiricy don't offer speed awareness courses...

Take the course/bullshit, and keep a clean licence... If you want to have my 3 points I will pay for your course and my fine, and come and do it for you

Expect the normal "speed kills" drivel and you'll be shown some pics of accident that were caused by "speed". Load of old shite, worth sitting through it to keep a clean lisence. Tell them you learned a valuable lesson then leave a fat set on 11's on your way out the car park
