Speeding (allegedly) by someone

[beezer60]

In Scotland, 96mph and above is an automatic court appearance, and over 100mph is a ban. Don't know about south of the border though.

It depends a great deal on the magistrate, how you plead, and your previous. A big mea culpa (which had to be in writing due to the lack of notice given of the hearing date) got me just 6 points for 101mph on the M1. I think I got off lightly. A magistrate acquaintance warned me to expect a month's ban at the very least.

Of course, if you can afford that lawyer who gets celebrities off........

Our works van got photographed by a mobile camera van, the picture was of the rear of our van doing 55mph in a 50mph zone. We tried to be clever and said we could not identify the driver.

After a few months of letters and to and throing we were taken to court and hammered!!! The outcome was a huge fine, and as there are 2 directors of the company, the court were going to give us 3 points each but luckily we did not. We were hammered becuase we failed to identify the driver and we should have records to prove who was driving where and when.

Lesson learnt, we won't try and be clever again!!!

Being a company thats a whole different game though.

The thing I like about this forum is how responsible and law abiding all the members are. Not so sure about their friends though.
