[Travel] Speeding Ticket

[Stat Brother]

Points and a fine.....and a proper piss take for posting it on NSC.
Personally, I think it should be upgraded to driving without due care as well(I'm an ex driving instructor, I hate all road users)

Where might I find a "70 mph zone"?

Taking responsibility for what you've done? How very 20th century

Yes, very unusual behaviour. Where's the "how do I get out of paying a speeding ticket" thread?

Oh, don't get me started!

Just noted the 100% of a weeks salary! Whatever happened to £75 going up to £200!!!

Hello good folk of NSC, I'm looking for a bit of guidance and to be hoenst reassurance.

I recently got caught by a moible speed van, I suspected I had been done but only got it confirmed today.

74mph in a 50mph zone - Does anybody have any recent history of this and what I can expect next?

Some additional detail - The road was duel carriageway, clear day, light traffic, my licence is currently clean, I will plead guilty and accept my punishment.

Thanks!

Did you get the NIP asking you to name the driver ? (Don't say it was Fiona Onasanya BTW).

If so, you should be eligible for a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points (according to https://www.theaa.com/driving-advice/legal/speed-limit)

3pts and a fine or a Palace season ticket and you have to go

Is the fan based on income?

Going by media listings of speeding punishments, there are sometimes very hefty fines for such doing speeds.

Under the Boris get tough regime, you will be lucky if you get away with being hung, drawn and quartered

Look on the bright side, at least you'll have more points than Bolton are likely to have this season.

If you're one of the many drivers who believe that the 50 mph speed sign in the lead up to Kingstone roundabout from Falmer doesn't apply to you and thus go hurtling by on the inside lane then I hope they throw the book at you.

Do you think I'm likely to be banned?

Not unless you have 9 points already.

Not unless you have 9 points already.

Even then, it’s not a certainty - more than 10,000 drivers are currently permitted to drive on 12 or more points, claiming Exceptional Hardship e.g. they say they’d lose their job or livelihood.

Ridiculous speed limit that everyone just ignores anyway

Ridiculous speed limit that everyone just ignores anyway

But most speed limits are ridiculous when you're as good at driving as what we are

I was waiting for the OP to mention that stretch of road. I know a couple of folks done for speeding there.

To be fair (and I say this as one who does observe the speed limit there), that limit seems unnecessary.

I know where you’re coming from, the 50mph starts incredibly far from the Ashcombe/Kingston roundabout.

But ignoring it leads to tickets ... in the last year the speed trap van visits that spot frequently, giving easy pickings on hundreds of drivers.

So does coming down the a23 when to splits to 4 lanes for the a27 roundabout. That's 50mph for must be 1/2 a mile too. No mobile site there but I have seen traffic police doing checks there in the past.
