Well if you keep on speeding you might as you could be done for death by careless driving amongst other things  & banned from driving to boot.

Sobering thought init

The most amazing fact> when kids smoke itsthe shop that sold them the fAgs
  If you drink to much at a clab or pub its the clubs and pubs at fault.
If you knock anyone down its the drivers fault driving in the streets
If we take drugs it the sellers fault.
 If you make a poo house buy its the agents fault.
 Ass about face we are. The worst is, no one questions this. The world out there is just so different.

So how did you get caught, speed gun or camera ?
I'm asking because Brighton is pretty much entirely a 20 mph zone and yet to my knowledge nobody has ever been done for 30 mph in a 20 zone. The general opinion seems to be that the limit is unenforceable by speed cameras. Whether that is true or not I would not know but there are definitely no speed cameras in the 20 zone , only stretches in and out of town center that are 30 mph. Speeding through one of them would see a fine posted to the driver , certainly not a home visit !
You must live in a very low crime and sleepy part of the country

I got caught for the second time by the doogooders village folk with parkinsons who like to grass anyone up who comes through their village. Because it wasn't actually the police holding the gun I haven't been fined yet.
First time last year I got a warning letter from the cunstabulary this time they came in person. Scared the wife to death.

I once got reported by a retired judge. God knows why as was on a duel carriageway at the time traveling within the speed limit. Maybe he did not like people overtake him or something? Needless to say the old bill was obliged to have a word with me which was a total waste of their time and mine.

Don't talk to me about Police and speeding. They are set of.
Someone stoned off his head and drunk decided to rap my wife's 2 week old vrs. He sped off. They tracked it down to a curtsey car and could refuse saying who was driving it without a court letter. They did that and he denied it. My cars paint and damage to his car.
Long story short. He got off.
I go over the speed limit in Scotland, on a new duel carriageway. No junctions. No pedestrians. COURT!! now thats justice...NOT.
Most speed limits are rubbish. Others like town centres, outside schools, too low.
Its nothing to do with saving lives. Its all about easy money

Sorry to hear that Duncan.
That's one of the reason why I bought a dash cam as there are so many aholes on the roads now.

How'd you know he was stoned and drunk? Or are you making it up as you go along, making assumptions?

Aren't you doing the same thing?
