He thinks he has got done after leaving the motorway, at the roundabout it goes straight into a 30MPH. No excuse though he was still speeding and he's not denying it he's just wondering how many points/fine. He's a sales rep and needs his car for work.

Got done for 50MPH in a 30 zone - got 5 
points AND a £150 fine - guess the judge was in a BAD mood ! 
and that was in a Skoda (quite happy it managed to get to 50 actually 
)
So going on that it'll be less, but it depends on if he's got any other points/fines on his license already...

One thing i'd heard about speeding things, is to check the last time the equipment used to take the speed readings was last calibrated, and there needs to be a certificate or similar to say it had been checked by somone as being accurate
If it had not been done so that morning then the validity of the speed can then be questioned - that's what i'd heard so it MAY not be gospel - i'd appreciate feedback on that point

If he was caught doing that in my village I would ban him. So many ***** think they can speed through villages, maybe they think it makes them look big, maybe they have such pathetic lives they feel the need for people to notice them or that they are trying to convince people that they are in fact important. Interestingly once these people get out of the village into bendy 60mph roads they haven't a clue .............. interesting that. Similar to the 'quick in a car park' brigade.
Rant over.

I also used to think it was funny setting off GATSO's especially if there was an english reg'd car with some numpty who thought he could drive 'fast' following me.
I did it not to convince people I was important or for them to notice me, I did it because I 'get off' on driving quickly and breaking the law.
Sadly the car had to go following an 'incident'.
