Within last 2 months!Last time it was 38 in 30 zone.This time it's 54 in 30! I swear,can't remember it.I am so frustated with myself!I even had Snooper but it didn't f**king tweet!Damn!!Do you think it will be another 3 points this time and will the insurance go up with 6 points on my license?

ChrisB

Nearly double the limit? Could well be more than three points this time...

IN THE STICKS

54 in a 30 ...bit over the top isn't it ?

Mungo

Have you just got the NIP? Keep your fingers crossed for a fixed penalty, but for 24 over the limit I reckon you'll be summonsed for a court appearance.
Prepare to be flamed for such excessive speed in a 30...

steve_nairn_sti

I agree, more likely 6 points and 150 quid fine. Hope it wasn't in a built up 30mph zone or that will be frowned upon further.

ScoobyPugh

Will be another 3 points and yes your insurance will increase by at least 10%. Mine did.

Turbohot

I feel so stupid!I really can't remember doing this kind of speed.I will cry now!I am still very agitated and may be,I don't deserve to drive Scoob.I am no nugget boyracer either.My partner reckons coppers are targetting this car.Because,it's happened twice on the same route to work.Anyway,I can't do anything about it.
I am gutted!

IanW

Very very unlikely for that to be the case. Plus they will have evidence of this offence for the NIP to have been issued.

Turbo where abouts in N Wales was it. Tell me it wasn't the ***!

NotoriousREV

My guess is the Wrexham -> Llangollen road

ScoobyPugh

More like A470 Llandudno to Llanwrst road!

Ditch the detector. People rely on them too much. Without it, you will be concentrating on looking for the cameras, rather than scuttling along thinking you are OK, because it hasn't bleeped.

stellaFella

doesn't matter where in N.Wales but i reckon it was past marcher sound. As of this week fellas Brunstroms Arrive Alive campaign has been given the go ahead to go undercover again. God help us!

Badger Stuffer

Serves you right.

Slow down you idiot and you won't lose your licience.

Turbohot,

What time was it and what type of road is it?

ian_sadler

I use mine as a back up for the mk. one eyeball but it is very usefull when the mind drifts

Also we have truevello's round here which are passive so the old detector won't pick em up so you still have to keep an open eye.

The main reason I have the unit is for them feckin' unmarked saftey (hahahahaha) vans [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

brandy76

54mph in a 30mph.
If the police decide to send you to court magistrate guidelines for that kind of speed are 6 penalty points on your license or else consider a disqualification for between 14 to 56 days!
Good luck

scooby_si

i'd at least wana see the picture etc as if you can't remember it how do you know it was your car & not some ringer? Seriously though if you coughed 1st time round without wanting to ensure it was you then i'm tempted to call that as silly as speeding Bad man [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Personally, id try the old trick of not signing the NIP and see what happens

*Sonic*

twice in less than 2 months?!!

Have you thought about slowing down at all ? especially in built up areas

Many years ago I recieved a ban, as my offences where all inside a 3 month period, the magistrates said "you obviously havent learnt your lesson, maybe now you will"

I did learn after that, the hard way

Turbohot

Pug & Rev, it was A541,Gwersyllt; on the way to Wrexham from Mold where I f**king work!
It was at at 9:10 AM.
Boro,I will try the trick!I will MSN you tomorrow.Got late tonite.Went on a p**s to drawn my sorrows!
I hate myself!I am a !

I don't think its really a case of Police targetting the car, more a case of Police targetting nutters who do nearly double the speed limit in a 30mph (built-up area?)

Has your wife taken her blinkers off yet? Talk about narrow minded!

jimr

A mate of mine got caught by a camera doing 57MPH in a 30MPH zone - he got a fine of £254 & 3 points

whatever happened to doing the limit in town and leaving the go-button for the open road?
targetting the car?
Bit rich, targetting eejuts driving at nearly twice the limit is a fair assumption, maybe?
You know you are a **** for doing it, but learn from it...
Twice in three months is not an accident, thats a trend, and thats only twice you`ve been caught, not twice you`ve done it

Turbohot

Thanks for telling me off,mates!I deserve it.Maybe,I will be more careful next time.I am crying as it is!I didn't kill anyone,i didn't harm anyone.I sped unawarely.It was stupid enough.In any case,thanks for yourreplies.

This time.....

I was gonna recommend the UKSpeedtraps site but that was done above, so I'll go to bed, and remember to stay out of Wales!

Editted to add .. A couple of mates who are cops, one a traffic bike cop, tell me that they go after the speeders in 30 mph areas as thats where people live/ work /go to school / walk to shops & pub etc., and will get wiped out by speeders. Unofficially, they allow the 10 mph above the posted limit 'rule' for the 60 mph country lanes and 60 or 70 dual carriageways.. unless there is an obvious risk / problem.

I never speed in a 30 mph area, despite the detector, as it can cause the most damage to others ..

What were you expecting?

Ten past nine in the morning, with two schools in the area? If "maybe" is the best you can come up with, I fervently hope you cop a ban, as it sounds like you haven't learned your lesson yet.

You were unaware of the fact that you were travelling at nearly double the speed limit?
