Caught doing 43 in a 30 zone...

[scorcher]

In a hurry to visit a tenant this morning, and failed to notice a couple of coppers with a laser gun as I rounded a corner.

They pulled me over, checked my details etc - everything came back fine.

They were interested in my private plate, but weirdly not bothered that part of the front one has peeled off (crappy cheap pressed metal ones).

After suggesting I should be driving more carefully, the main man, much to the annoyance of the female gun operator, decided to let me off with a warning :D

So thank god I've still got a clean licence :o I am a jammy git :)

I'm guessing I could have got up to 6 points if the rozzer was in a bad mood?

[Theivz]

what a result - thank God for that!

[piscean57]

If I were you, I would go and buy some lottery tickets mate - it is obviously "your" day.

[scorcher]

It got better - when I finally got to see the tenant who was checking out of one of my rooms, he gave me a bottle of single malt whiskey and said I was the best landlord he had ever had :)

[MistaSmiff]

The female officer probably forgot to turn the speed gun on ..lol :p

[MEGA]

ahaha. I love that. Immediately "I bet the woman fecked it up".

True though no doubt ;)

Dont drink it mate. It could contain man juice :p

I was on the M11 last weekwend and decided to stretch the twin turbo's and unknown to me there was a police camera van parked on 1 of the bridges ahead. I tried to slow when i saw them, but i dont know if i did enough in time so i'm pooing it now :mad:

Ewww! I only drink Irish single malts so I'll inflict his seed on another member of my family :D

I dont know about 6 points maybe 3 points. I got caught doin 99 mph and got 3 points and £200 fine. Lucky you for getting away with it.

[J1SUA]

Guess he did the attitude test on you and liked you

Lucky you got pulled, i just got a letter in the post a few days later when I got my 3 points and with this you can't even grovel :)

[Black Sabbath]

Same for me before Xmas,38 in a 30, but I'm doing a speed awareness course at the end of the month,better than 3 points.Could be quite funny though I could probably tell them more about cars I've picked up than they will be able to tell me :p :p

Don't drink it and get caught drink driving instead!:D

[Osian-BMW-E92]

Black Sabbath how did u get the awareness course?? I reckon i might have got pinged this weekend, waiting for a thud behind the door, really worried about it- the points, fine and insurance increase!! Can you plead for one of them courses? lol.

Also whats people's expeiences with insurance hike for points?

[Black Sabbath]

Surrey Police just offer it for clean licences I think :) then you cant do another one for 3 years.As for premiums 3 points dont usually count for much,hopefully you wont hear anything

[scorcher]

Yep, my step-mum was offered the course when she was caught by a speed camera near my house

[gie0320]

Good day for you then Dan...must bet on lottery this week :)

[Raj]

I was hoping for something similar when I got pulled in the M less than 24 hours after buying it but I think the officer was just jealous as he was only in an E90...

[MLaw]

Dan u were very lucky mate!
Am i right in thinking the letter etc should be delivered within two weeks or u have got a way with it?

[Raj]

Am i right in thinking the letter etc should be delivered within two weeks or u have got a way with it?

Yep that's right. They have 14 days from the date of the offence to notify you.

[Black Sabbath]

If it arrives after the 14th day get a witness to watch you open it ;) postman is best bet

[MLaw]

I read about it somewhere, where people were getting away with fines and prosecution because of the recent postal strikes, and letters turning up late.

[gaz1234]

Na bet he was trying to show he's nice so he could bang the female cop
