boxerboy Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 [:'(]just pleaded guilty by letter for speeding, was doing 65 in a 40 and deserve whatever punishment i get but i was just wondering if anybody has a rough idea what to expect, but i suppose i should never have been speeding in the first place should have just been late for work
thefastone Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well either way, If you are not in court pleading it then there is no chance of a ban... Youve got to be present in court for that... Dunno about fines, but I think 5 Points.... £80.... I think A sweeper is in order!!!! [] Bad news like... Could be worse tho, Being banned from driving Sucks Big A$$!!! I know..... From Experience.... [:|]
bigdavie Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 i think cos you've put your hands up it will be minimal !!!
thefastone Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Just as a thought how did you get done? Was It a camera? And how Long ago was it too? Questions Questions Questions....
bigdavie Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 here you'll be able to find out more about it here http://www.pepipoo.com/
boxerboy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 fao thefastone a pair of jobsworths pulled me on the dundee-arbroath road it was an average speed thingy so i suppose i had no choice but to plead guilty.Whats worse is i already have 3 points so i will just have to pay more attention in future
thewelsho Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 3 points and a 60 quider i reckon That's about right. I got the same for doing 62 in a 40 and I was going through road works.

Hmmm... That dont sound good.... But anyways, did they have a go at you, Coz as Much as I hate it, I'd much rather that then being pinged by a camera... At least when I got pulled the copper in the car (there was only one!) Was very complementary about my riding.... dont really think that was much compensation for 50days and £270... I reckon the magistrate got laid the night before.... [] either way mate, I think you are going to feel this one on your insurance.... when do your points expire? 3 years they last for... Keep meaning to get my expired points off my licence...
thewelsho Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 fao thefastonewhen do your points expire? 3 years they last for... Keep meaning to get my expired points off my licence... Points expire after three years but remain on your licence for a further year. However, insurance companies ask for details of accidents, claims and convictions in the last 5 years. How they get away with that, I have no idea. If the law discard them after 3, why should be punished by insurance companies for a further 2 years?
thefastone Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah, your preaching to the converted there like.... its just a lcence to print money the insurance game....
thewelsho Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah, your preaching to the converted there like....its just a lcence to print money the insurance game.... Indeed... legalised crime!
boxerboy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 what were you charged with to get 50days and £270 ? was it 50 days standing with your bum against the wall in the nick
Boyakasha Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Does this get sent to a PF and they decide, I guess it could depend on circumstances. If it is a 40 in a built up area then they will not look kindly at it however if it is one of these 40mph dual carriage ways in the middle of no where you may be lucky. Good Luck
Double Zero Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Sixty quid and 3 points m8 i got done for doing 41 in a 30 limit,you just gotta take the hit m8[:@]
boxerboy Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 double zero coming through your neck of the woods on sat going to stirling to see the inlaws [] i was also wondering if i could phone somebody like the pf to find out what i got it was on a dual carraigeway i got caught
Double Zero Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Do I touch goats Boxerboy? Did you get done on the dual carriageway just north of the Friarton bridge?
boxerboy Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 sorry i have not been in touch but i have been on holiday i got 4 points & £120 fine bit of a bummer but atleast its not 6 points,learn by your mistakes i suppose
thewelsho Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 sorry i have not been in touch but i have been on holiday i got 4 points & £120 fine bit of a bummer but atleast its not 6 points,learn by your mistakes i suppose OUCH! Bit of a sore one! It's a wonder why they don't give us a buy-back points option. That way they'd raise more cash!
RA Dunk Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 i got done doing 57 in a 40 and got 3 points and 60 quid fine , looks like i narowly missed out on a heavier fine and an extra point
