Default Guess what I got last night!!!!

3 points and a £60 fine First offence in 12 years!! Does it make me any less safe?!?!

No excuse really, 56 in a 40 (although in my defence it was a dual carriage-way, NON residential)

Soooooo annoyed with myself ! Gutted I didn't see the unmarked Merc as I went past it. Don't worry guys, it wasn't in Essex.

I suppose the only good think about it was the fact it was a human being who used his judgement rather than a scamra!!! Nice guy really!

So keep a check on your speed guys, I will be

And here is the best bit! It WASN'T in the scoob (metro)

Doesn't take long through totting up to lose a license. I have 3 points at the moment, but they will be coming off in a few months time, and they were the first points I'd had since I was 17.

I don't tend to speed really, really bad week, watching the road rather than my speedo.

As I say, no excuses, I did a bad thing.

Hopefully you're right, I'm usually a very attentive driver.

Just told the insurance company and they got their fee for my mis-hap, £10 for both cars. Not bad really, and not worth the risk not telling them about it.

A collegue told his insurance company, 2 years later sign his renewal (had been with them 7 yrs) without checking it 100%.

Got hit up the **** (not his fault) and they didn't pay out!!!! if they can get out of paying for a claim, they will. Annoyingly for him, it was their error not his (apart from the fact he should have checked the form properly).
