speeding

Drove twice to east Germany.. on second trip I got 2 red flashes within different works areas and a white flash on a fly over on a motorway... I am fretting now I can get my license suspended if I get 3 tickets at same time... (my guess I was doing 100 mph in 100 kmh zone and 70-80 mph in 60...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27774455 Seems a bit extreme but prompted me to ask a question: are national speed limits now enforced by cameras on some motorways eg M25 in Kent? I saw the new Hadecs3 cameras flashing when variable speed limits were not switched on. I'd estimate the car in...

Had a ticket come through about 4weeks ago and the name and address was all incorrect but it was my vehicle. (Address had the correct door number and correct post code so that was enough for it to reach me). So I returned it saying not known at This address. It then come through again but this...

Hi all, I have allegedly been caught doing 30+mph over the national speed limit on the A3 south bound at Ripley. I don't possibly know how that could happen in my car :D Does anyone know a good specialist solicitor that specialises in this sort of offence. I'm not interested in any of the 'no...

From another forum Anyone here care to confess? :dk: As another poster to the thread observed :D :D :D

I'm driving down the A3 tonight on cruise at 70MPH. The road is pretty quiet. Any cars that I catch up, I indicate in plenty of time and pull out to overtake. I must have had at least half a dozen people speed up as I got level with them. I had one guy speed up so I dropped in behind him, he...

Found the latest version of the ACPO Speed Enforcement Policy Guidelines today: http://www.acpo.police.uk/documents/uniformed/2013/201305-uoba-speed-enf-safer-roads.pdf Interesting to note the recommendation not to issue FPNs (or speed awareness course invitations) for 20 mph zones; the...

Just been flashed by speed camera, (June 2013) should I expect something through post- wasn't going mad just a few km over limit. Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK

Today after driving for 21 years, I got my first dam speeding ticket. Coming off the slip road into Glasgow airport, I got caught doing 35 in a 20 zone. I'm so annoyed as the road was totally clear in front and the two coppers were hanging behind the fence on the left with the 5 series hidden...

Recently received a "Notice of Intended Prosecution" for travelling at 69mph on a dual carriageway part of the A303. :mad: I was pretty surprised to say the least, the offence was exceeding the limit for a goods vehicle. I browsed around the web a bit but didn't find a definitive answer as to...

My friend, lets call him "Dave" is travelling back from a party late at around 3am after dropping all of his friends home. Dave hasnt touched a drink. He is on the M1 heading north after the 50mph is over with, taking advantage of a completely open road, when Daves heart sinks as he notices...

Hi Chaps Its been awhile since I last posted. About 8 months ago I received a speeding notice. According to the humberside police doing 80MHP on the M118. I refused the fixed penalty and opted for the court appearance. This was 6 months ago and I haven't heard anything. Am I in the clear...

Hi all A bit of advice would be appreciated. I keep my other car at an old friend's due to lack of space, and the fact I don't need it often. My friend is approaching 70, likes cars (has had some corkers in his younger years), washes it every week and turns the engine over, bless him. *He...

Might be an oldie, but it's brilliant! http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2011/08/01/top-this-for-a-speeding-ticket/ :cool:

Driving back to London in the inside lane of the A40 this afternoon, on the NSL section that runs past Northolt Aerodrome (before it drops to 50mph at the Polish War Memorial) I found myself closing up on traffic in the left and middle lanes, while the outside lane was empty. The last car in...

Having cruised down the M5 at Distronic 70mph (yawn) I thought I'd give the car some beans on one of my favourite (and usually plod free) sweeping left handers on the A38 dual carriageway towards Birmingham. The bend is sharper than the photo suggests, especially at :cool:mph. As I rounded the...

I've just got back from the Magistrates court I got done for speeding, totally my fault no excuse. Ended up with 6 points and a fine. Just contacted the insurance to inform them and they aren't putting up my premium :bannana: sometimes insurance company's aren't too bad.

Lets say you have had a chat with Les Gendarmes en route to Spain and the kind chaps have relieved you of a significant amount of Euro AND your driving licence........ :ban: Paddy the Polis said he had to send it to his head office within 72hrs but then he was unsure if it was sent to the...

After having a clean licence for 25 years a owning a selection of fast cars and bikes, I recieved my first speeding ticket today. :( 42mph in a 30mph zone in Amersham. I don't remember the event but I was there working. Very annoyed at myself as I drive like an old granny and driving a van...
