HI all just bought a scooby for first time but i think its cost me my licence lol as i got caught doing 105mph picking it up

 

To love and to have lost is better than to have never loved at all.

OUCH!

 

my mate tchort got caught at 104 two hours after he got his p1

that cost him his ability to drive for 28 days!

 

Hello, welcome and goodbye, hope you enjoyed it

 

find a nice quiet road......

seriously that really does suck though

someone chasing you i assume ?

 

Tell them you though it was an import, and you were sure the speedo was reading in KMH, so it was really only about 70 mph

 

D'oh!

 

Whoops! Please say you were doing that on the motorway at least!?!?!

Dude you need a bloody good solicitor..........

I'd play the "Just Got it and REALLY didn't notice the Speed card" Especially if your previous car was a Slug (Don't know what that was obviously)

"You were just as shocked as they were when you got pulled.

Also play the work and ruined life card and see how you get on, may cost you a few quid but worth a try I reckon.

Damn Damn Un-lucky though, my sympathy is with you.

Listy

 

as was said , i hope that was not on a normal road or you could GO TO JAIL !!

 

it was on a motorway and yeah it was somebody trying to have a go at me so i had to see what this baby could do, felt good leaving him behind mind.

 

 

Poor newbie, if only you'd had a bit longer, you'd have gotten used the fact that the Scooby is like a red cloak to a bull for pretty much every: boy racer, rep mobile, irrate SUV driver, school run mum, scooter driver, white van man, red van man, yellow van man, coach driver, lorry driver, coach driver, tractor driver......and some people on push bikes! In time you learn to just let them get on with it...unfortunately the plod caught you before you'd gotten desensitised to it. My condolences!

OMFG

how unlucky can one get

tough luck

 

Shame it wasn't brand new, you would have been running it in then and got away with it.

Tough luck matey

Actually, that's 4...

Unlucky, mate. Try the innocent, "didn't realise I was doing that fast" line. As long as you look sorry on the day, you will most likely to get 2-4 weeks bus communte with £200 fine + court fee (£50-100).

Don't bother getting a solicitor, unless loss of license for a month is going to cripple your ability to do your job, as it will cost you a fair whack, probably £500 plus. Duty solicitor on the day can help you present your case the best they can. They are often interns or newly qualified solicitors, so they tend to be genuinely helpful.

We've all bee there, or near there, or will... Anyone who has a Scooby or any performance car, and never breaks the speed limit is either lying, or are wasting their good money down the drain, so if anyone here gives you grief, take no notice, mate. Good luck, and hope you won't get too harshly done.

Oh, and finally, welcome to Scoobynet

 

Tell them the truth, you had only just picked it up, and was familiarising yourself with the car, and acessing how it perform's, HELL IT WORK'S FOR SOME PEOPLE....
