 |

i got a bit carried away in the sunshine last saturday and got pulled by an unmarked police bike doing 62 in a 30. what am i likely to be looking at points, ban? etc... and do police bikes carry any sort of speed measuring device? oh and one last question are bikes and cars treated the same for speeding offences as imo a bike is less of a danger to cause injury than a car as it is smaller,lighter and more nimble therefore not as much risk?
i know im a dick head and i feel bad enough as it is so please no safety talk  ____________________ 04 NSR 125(sold) ---- 03 CBR 600rr(sold) ----90 pan euro ST1100 ' ' ----02 CG 125

there were flashy lights near the headlights somewhere and a siren, he said he followed me from town about a mile away and struggled to keep up lol, he also said i was a good rider which should have made me feel good but it didnt lol. i was watchin one of those cop programmes on telly a few months back and this guy was doin exess of 100mph on the motorway on a blackbird i think and the copper who pulled hin told him to slow it down and then let him go wtf and that was on national telly. ____________________ 04 NSR 125(sold) ---- 03 CBR 600rr(sold) ----90 pan euro ST1100 ' ' ----02 CG 125

No disrespect to yourself, but from a neutral point of view, there are some clear differences there:
You were doing double the speed limit, I would assume if he'd been doing 140, there'd have been consequences.
You, presumably, were in a built up area, he was on a motorway; 60mph in a built up area is rarely, if ever, safe, although most people with some road experience and a bit of common sense would agree that 100mph on a motorway is a completely different proposition.
If he was riding a blackbird, I can only assume he had a full license, and had been riding a while to be able to afford the insurance, whereas you have only a c.b.t. under your belt, so it's possible to assume that the copper in your case felt you didn't have the appropriate training or experience to accurately assess how safe travelling at 60mph in a 30 zone was.
Again, I'm not judging your actions, merely pointing out the possible reasons for differing levels of discretion used. ____________________ McGee - "When I go to the mall and see all the high school girls, I have to have DO NOT TOUCH THE GIRLS written on my hand.

when you said are cars and bikes treated the same way i would say yes.if your going at that speed, all it needs is someone to walk out from nowhere or something on the road and your off balance.Thats my opinion  ____________________ Current: Honda NSR 125

+1 to what's been said. 62 in a 30 is a bit thick.
I hope they aren't too harsh you and learn your lesson.  ____________________ My Flickr |

apparantly if their speed detection system has not been calibrated THAT MORNING, and they cant prove it has, then they cant do anything. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

you can have 12 points on a provisional, just no more than 6 once youve passed during your probation period ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.
