Yup, I deserve it, had my Scooby for one week and decided to see what it would do for the first time - nice clear road and here we go. Just about to turn off for home when I noticed flashing headlights and blue light in my rear view mirror!!! Think i went white.

I expect I'll be put down!

Lucky

Unbelievable, and there's me getting stopped all the time for doing sod all and you get off for doing that sort of speed.

So now im going to tell the chief inspector to view this thread and make sure there is justice ;-)

The A48! you are a brave man! I will not even go on that road because the police are camera happy along there, I guess it was between the Coach & Horses and LG?

Hope the police officers boss/colleagues aren't reading this as I doubt he would get off as lightly as you. Probably get the sack, lose out on pension, prospect of early retirement etc. I assume he would rather you kept quiet about this one.

I have traveled along that section of road twice a day for the past six years safe in the knowledge that there are never any speed cameras (exception of speed van in Bonvilston 3 weeks ago) and very rarely any police hiding in waiting. With posts like this it's just a matter of time before all that changes.

Just to lift your spirits mate and to prove Jods wrong.

A PC caught doing 125mph on the M4 got six months. Don't forget your toothbrush!

The thing with this chap is he didn't stop and thought he was imortal on his bike, he then reported it stolen . He was caught and now is doing bird.]

Don't worry, 6 months ban , £400 fine is my estimate
