could actually be a benifit i know a few builders who lost their licence and had to start employing people and never looked back same as a friend of ours couldnt sell his and girlfriends flats in the middle of a recesion and were forced into renting them both out when the had to up size due to children and they now have a small property empire

Yep , I feel for you mate, that must be a right sickener , depending on your speed/s I never really regard a few miles per hour over the limit much of a crime .

All of mine over the years have been a SP30, anyone wanna guess what the lowest recorded speed was?

Thats a great idea Ray had, amount of folks on here looking for experience..... advertise a 3 month teach for keen learner with clean driving license lol.

For the record. Not looking for sympathy. I was doing 66mph on the first occasion and 70mph on the second. Both in a 60mph zone.
just do 70mph on the motorway and watch nearly everyone drive pass you. Crazy. I've even been passed by a police car before.

I got done twice in 3 weeks when I was driving hundreds of miles a day 1st time I couldn't argue 80 on a dual carriage way and I said to the policeman why have you pulled me over and not the car in front or the car behind both also doing 80 and his response was your in a van so 20mph over the limit, I said my van is under 3.5 tons so I can do 70 but he got his book out and showed me so I couldn't argue with that.

The 2nd time I was driving through a village I didn't know and spotted the camera van from miles away on a bend facing away from me. Not a problem as I was doing 30, I went round the bend and down the big hill and looked at my speedo and it had drifted up and a week later the letter came I was clocked at 37mph! I got offered the course and even the woman taking the course said it was a bit harsh!

Heard on radio yesterday that insurance Co are going to start upping costs on renewal for motoring offences, but no excuse for speeding, I know we all do it, but most people know where local camera's are , and spots used by police for Mobile units, was you paying attention at the time or on the Phone ??

 

[JCSPLUMBING]

Not on the phone. I was on an unknown road.
