Got nicked for 98mph on the M4 a couple of years ago. I leaned 2 things...

1. The limit for a discretion over a fixed penalty or court is 96mph. In Wilts anyway.

2. He got me at 850 meters in the dark. Anyone who thinks laser cameras don't work in the dark is mistaken.

5 points, £225 fine.  >:( >:( >:(

BTW, my GPS and his laser agreed exactly.

Nothing would surprise me.

I once tried to keep up with a car, for some reason I had sussed that the speedo had been disconected.  In places I just couldnt keep up with him, and in other places I darnt keep up with him.  He passed 4 motorway junctions and kept going, so what millage is there on a car when delivered. ?

It was a brand spanking new car at that.

A lot of new cars already have a silly mileage on them. I have gone to Kent and Cornwall for cars, London deliveries were common.

Not unusual to deliver a car with over 400 miles on it.

99% were lease cars as well

Sorry mate.. but i think you may well do.
I got fined £60 for 39 mph in a 30mph limit.
If i had been pretty and a woman instead of ugly and a man i think i may have got away with it.
 :-[ :-[ :-[

Aha, so that's why Lizzie is keeping in with the Police.  Lizzie DD on Duty,   These women that use thier assets ti pervert the cause of justice.  It all fit's into place now.  ;D ;D

Well perhaps that is true, as I have been stopped 7 times in my 38 year driving history, once for going over double white lines (perfectly safely stated the Officer) but NEVER had any ticket, penalty, points, etc!  Very lucky I must be, although I always knew what to say and how to say it! Always accepted what the policeman/woman told me! :y :y


I've been stopped twice for speeding in a 30 limit!
Got away with it on both occasions. Was very apologetic!  :)

With up to 70% of my business mileage done on the M4 I can confirm that it was the best motorway for using that type of road to the full.  Many a time my average speed from Bristol to the Staines / M25, once built, turn-off was 100 mph, as it was rare to see a police unit outside of an accident situation.  The M5 around Bristol was the place not to speed!

That is the real answer LJay; men so often get all stroppy, abusive , and defensive about being stopped, women (usually!) just smile nicely, are very polite, and admit to their errors. ;D :y
