Lucky u got no ban, beaware of the police mate, they cunts for doin u for 7mph, usually u can get away upto 40mph.

Pricks..

watch it

Could they do you for doing 31mph in a 30 zone? I know it sounds like an obvious question but I remember reading that speedos only have to be accurate to within 3mph either way by law- which means that if you got caught doing 33 you could say you thought you were doing 30. I know alot would probably let you off for 33 anyway- but the dickhead that did you for 37 probably wouldn't of done.
On a similar note I heard that 125 speedo's are very inaccurate- so on an NSR for example if the speedo said you were doing 60 how fast are you likely to be going?

Probably a daft question - but did you challenge them? I know someone who was followed by a police car for a couple of miles doing about 60 in a 40. When he got pulled over, there was only one police officer. My mate asked if the equipment had been calibrated that day (apparently if it isn;t calibrated daily then they have no proof that you were speeding) and also what the offier was going to do for witnesses - one on their own, again, ins't conclusive proof you were over the speed limit. Usually if you do that they can't be bothered with getting everything done.

Ive only ever been pulled once, that was for doing 55mph in a 40mph limit. The officer lived in my street, and once he noticed it was me asked if i wanted to buy his car Smile

Then he told me if i ever get pulled to mention his name and id be let off Smile

Hey man, 37mph is still over the limit.
And yes, in theory you could get done for 31mph in a 30, although police guidelines are to give 10% + 3 mph.

Luckily up here in the sticks there are few police and the roads arnt that busy generally so police arnt really bothered. Whats the police situation like in places like london or any of the cities?

WildGoose · White Van Man Joined: 21 Mar 2002 Karma :

well i live in hertfordshire, right on the edge of london, and there is a shed load of the buggers around me every day you really gotta watch it

but i am in the wrong a hell of a lot, ive probly gotta work on that

like i ride a bit pissed more than i should, and piss about, and do silly overtakes and stuff, depends what mood im in

shitter.
Especially considering what we were doing before.
I presume you get 3 points with that... could be nasty for insurance Crying or Very sad

I assume it's too late, but it my be worth trying asking if they had a calibration certificate.

if your 31, 32, 33 and they pull you etc it wont stand up in court. REALLY easy to get yourself off and make them luck dumb if you ever get pulled for that kinda speed.

gotta be a real knob who'd pull you for that in the first place.

i never thought u can do that,

i thought if u got a yellow ticket it was 60£ and an endorsement (points on ur licence)

so let me get this straight...

if a officer stops u ie speeding, gives u a ticket wiv ~£60 on it, u accaept and u get no points..

is this truE??

craigT19 · Jolly Green Giant Joined: 09 Feb 2002 Karma :

yep

its says on the ticket

"the police will take no further action in respect to the offence or the holders licence provided you pay within 28 days the fixed penalty shown bellow"

the police man that issued the ticket said provided i dont pleed not guilty i wont go to court and i wont get any points

<naive>What is a "producer" that you guys are talking about? </naive>

Tin

craigT19 · Jolly Green Giant Joined: 09 Feb 2002 Karma :

the police dont expect you to carry your plastic and paper licence and your cbt around with you so they give you a ticket called a producer, which means you have 8 days to take you licence cbt and inshurance details to a police station of your choice.
