    Speeding in a hire car

    I reckon 17 years of clean motoring are about to go up in smoke. Ironically in a 1.6 vauxhall and not the 55.:o I was up north at the easter break visiting a close family member who is unwell. No excuse but i was a bit distressed on leaving and evidently slightly distracted: Dual...

    Jimmy Carr hasn't got off

    Looks like comedian Jimmy Carr and his famous defence lawyer Nick "Loophole" Freeman haven't done it this time. Carr fined 300 pounds and 3 points after found guilty of speeding in his Bentley in Suffolk -- doing 50 in a 40 zone. I assume he wld have got the points anyway.....

    Speeding up when being passed

    There are occasions when I do longer m'way or dual carriageway trips on cruise. Usually set it about the limit - or lower if the traffic is generally moving a bit slower. Anyhow I used to get annoyed by passing people who then a short distance later would pass me and then later I'd pass them...

    Speeding & Security Clearance

    Quick question.... All for "a friend" of course :p Does he need to declare a speeding offence if he did the "speed awareness course" and didn't get any points, etc on a SC form? He was told at the time it would be like he hadn't been caught speeding when hr did the course - was that just a...

    violent crime victim? Speeding Ticket? On yer bike

    This beggars belief: victims of violent crime to have their compensation slashed if they have minor offences, including a speeding ticket, in the past 5 years. Up to now, payments could be reduced where 'the applicant's character as shown by his criminal convictions makes it inappropriate...

    Is 70mph too slow?

    I've recently changed cars from a W211 E240 to a R230 SL500. I've noticed drivers now tailgate me much more often and much closer when I'm in the overtaking lane of a dual carrigeway or motorway. I am not guilty of sitting there when there's room to pull back in safely. I will not be pushed into...

    Italian Speeding Tickets

    I realise that this issue has been posted before but I thought worth mentioning again. We rented a car to visit Florence last August (staying just outside the city). We arrived on 31st July 2008 and left a week later. We rented two cars, and so far this week [10 months later] I have...

    Another Speeding Thread

    Perhaps I should not post this as I am sure to be vilified by the holier than thou mob, but will post anyway, as I am feeling a little aggrieved. I got back from the GTG at Olly's on Saturday afternoon to be greeted by my first ever NIP sitting on the doormat. (I have been driving for more...

    If you think speeding fines in the UK are high...

    Look at how the French traffic police work :crazy: "Exceeding the speed limit by 20kph [12.4mph] means that you must pay me a fine of 135 euros [£104]. Every time. .....There is no requirement for me to provide a driver with a photograph of himself breaking the law. We need no pictures...

    I may have been caught speeding.........

    Yesterday I was stopped by a policeman in an unmarked police car. He pulled me over and said I went past him at "over 110mph". He admited his car was not fitted with a calibrated speedo and cameras but he was sure of my speed. I was just on the brink of explaining my way out of the situation...

    Was stopped lastnight for speeding and given 3 points..

    I was driving my Audi A4 lastnight.. Apparantly I was 5 miles over the limit. But my speed was going "up and down" He made me pull to the side of a dangerous road, took my details and told me to take the slip to my local police station. Upon arriving at the station i would have to pay 60 quid...
