no offence but if you already have 6 then why are you doing 50 in a 30 anyway surely youd be more carefull

usually people get caught for like 36 , 37 etc.... but you know if your doing 50

50 in a 30 hmmmm

my mate had to retake his test caught at 58 in a 30 had had a clean licence (less than 2 years tho) before that

CraigN,

Your m8 must of been unlucky!, I got done for doing 58 in a 30 in walse same sort of thing, there was a 200meter stretch where the national speed limit dropped to 30 then back up again, there was a copper with a gun hiding around a corner and he got me not bad for a 1.3l Orion but only got 3 points and a 40 quid fine as it was then, licence all clean now though

have you read that article thats in fast ford mag bout insurance.

they reckon people with 9 points get a better deal than people with 6 as your likely to be more carefull to not get caught again!

Well i have 9 points and i sure to hell dont get cheap insurance on my cossie age dosent help either but it is still stupid.

You should learn to be more careful but sometimes coppers take the piss. For instance i was on a desserted motorway a few months back not a car in sight on a sunday morning doing 80 on the inside lane. I saw the van parked up so slowed down but thought i would be fine as i wasnt above 80 low and behold a nice letter arrives. 79 on a dead motorway

Luckily i have nice friends who like pressies

Should have gone straight back with some petrol and a tyre
Criminal damage is probably less of a crime than speeding

fuckin cameras and everyone who is preaching about speedin, we all do it and yes we all do it in 30's as well, as I know lots of 30's and 40's that take the piss and are perfectly safe to drive faster on at the right time unlucky m8, go and torch the fucker

i must say that after having 9 points for 8ish months HAS made me a better driver. I do have my mad moments but I find it quite hard to sit at 80mph on the motorway always looking down to see 70.


cheers

lol @ xr4timan

Havent had the turbo on the road yet. so dont know what im gonna face with the lack of plate on the front. Might have to be a Front windscreen job.

ho hum, Think Im gonna invest in the new road angel. 3 cameras I've been caught on now and probably could have avoided em all with sommit like that.
