Well the big day came for my mate today and he was shitting himself.

 

4 months ago we head off to Newcastle(ish) to pick up his E55 AMG, 5.7 supercharged Merc, awesome machine. we went to collect in his uncles E55 Chipped diesel merc and he bought the car and i drove the diesel merc back, my mate was driving like a woman in his new car, I`m up his arse egging him on to boot it, but he didnt, just drove slow and girly(understandably after just splashing out 16 grand!!)

 

So after severeal attempts of getting him to rag it, he gave in, 17miles from home we both came to the lights and he floored it, he got to 63 in an instant and guess what?? yes a copper with a speed gun popped out and pulled him and let me go!!! OHHHH How i laughed :lol::lol::lol:

 

So today he went to court and the JAMMY TW*T only got 6 points and £265 fine, £50 court costs and £15 witness costs, I thought he got off lightly for doing over twice the speed limit!!

 

We had a bet on at work, ranging from £400 to £2000 fine, oh how we were all wrong.

Lucky fella - could have got a ban!!

 

Oh, and I've moved it to NZR!!

 

Richard:whistling:

I remember that thread - Lucky boy indeed.

I got 3 points and £60 fine for doing 43mph in a 40mph zone.:confused:

Lucky *******! Ive just got a f'in parking ticket issued by an automatic camera at a car park in st helens at sports direct, so beware if anyone uses that car park. You get 60 minutes, and they havnt got the common decency to come and put the ticket on with a man. Its done by ANPR! Im sure there are no signs there anywhere! £75!!!

I got only 3 point and £275 fine for doing 105 mph on the M1!! No bullshit, Its all about how you present yourself in court ( it was an empty m'way and about 2am) The copper in the unmarked car said that I'll lose my licence:angry:

Mrs had to drive home

ps http://www.pepipoo.com/ is a great site!!!

I got 3 points and £60 fine (Fixed penalty at the roadside) for doing 107 on the A19

 

Bloody lucky as i already had 6 points

some mate you are:hammer::hammer:

isent there a set penalty for anything over 100mph?? i was cought doing 146 on the m5 and i got a 9 month ban. no points or fine. just a ban.

 

146!! were you in your Zed?? :scared:

no. i didnt own my zed back then. was in my tuned up v6 vectra:)

 

Good lad!! Anything over 140 is bloody quick!! I did considerably more:whistling: when i first got my zed and its frighening!! feels like you cant turn.

 

Nice to chat again Mikey :wink:

isent there a set penalty for anything over 100mph?? i was cought doing 146 on the m5 and i got a 9 month ban. no points or fine. just a ban.

 

The copper who caught me said it was force policy to issue a ban, however it is ultimately down to his discretion.

 

I've always found the best course of action on getting pulled is to put your hands up, say it's a fair cop and avoid the bullshit excuses, and clever little cop outs
