I seem to recall one Sunday morning at 5am on the M1 en route to the MotoGP at Donington it felt pretty safe to test the limits, until I spotted the big colourful Range Rover on the bridge at the end of my empty mile long straight. :wink:
The reason my mate got off, or rather got off lightly was due to the fact that 2 days after being caught he was heading off to tour the world for 18 months so no point going to court for a ban. They did a deal on 3 points and £60 fine
Did a deal. I like that. 'Would you change the fine from 12 points and a ban, to 3 points and a £60 fine if I bought you a latte and three doughnuts from the Wild Bean Cafe?' 'Of course I would' 'Excellent....sugar?'
caught once in a hire car doing 49 in a 40 - fixed camera did speed awareness course - never had any points - well that's done it
Doing 60 thru West Meon village wold be far more dangerous, yet many do that every weds eve and sun morning.. Go figure...
