Post by: DEViANCE on May 15, 2009, 17:51:49 PM
Just got a NIP!

46 in a 30 :whoops:

is that going to get me more than the usual £60 and 3 points?

I thought I had 3 still on mine.... but when I got pulled last night found out my licence was actually clean.... pity about the extra 3 the git added on :-(

cheers guys.

i looked it up apparently you can go up to 59 in a 30 before any more punishment.

could do without this though, hopefully they will offer me the driver improvment course instead of the points.

I believe that the guideline is anything that exceeds 100mph or double the speed limit (whichever is lower) = prosecution. Anything under 10%+2 mph = let off

This is only a guideline though.
