Doing 108 is ok if you're an actress

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Let off with a fine and 6 points after being clocked at 108. Her excuse?

"I thought as it was a hire car it couldn't go above 90".

I despair.

Good on her for trying everything at her disposal to get out of a ban. I know I would.

If she were on a motorcycle she would be in prison. The double standards here stink.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Done more than that and got away with it, maybe because even the copper was surprised a french diesel shitbox could go that fast

Still, fine + 6 points is a far whack to someone, this guy did 82 in a 50, got 6 points and £1300 fine near me.

I do laugh when I realise I've been very lucky and these overpaid wangs get shafted whilst I walked free, twice

In the same position I would use any excuse to get out of a ban.

to be honest i think i would be more than pissed off getting 6 points and a fine for 108mph, i do more than that all the time, in fact i usually sit at about 100mph if not more whenever im on a motorway or dual carriage way, and i cant even count the times i have maxed my bike out since getting it.

I also know someone who got pulled at over 100mph and was told by the police man 'we arent bothered about bikes going up to about 120mph, but beyond that you're going a bit quick.' And the person who said this is not really one to make stuff up, must have been the best possible policeman to be pulled over by.

What is it with the 'victim' surcharge when there does not appear to be any victim?

[Rigga]

Not double standards, actors and actresses can afford the best lawyers.

I think the real crime is that she calls herself an actress.

Indeed; I'm sure people on here have got similar for similar.
And been let off for more.

Do think they should have thrown the book at her for her excuse however!

To be honest I think I would be more pissed off with the fact that I was completely oblivious of the position of my right foot and inability to notice the difference between 108mph and 70mph. Let alone all the 'slow' BMW's and Audi's in the left hand lane doing a ton themselves, with trees whizzing y etc etc.

At least (if/when) I do break the speed limit I am conscious of it and am paying attention to what is going on around me.

I think the "bikes always get it worst" is a 50/50 argument. If the copper has a bike himself, it'll be a slap on the wrist.
