bloody pigs!!

7.30 this morning, i get pulled for speeding by an undercover vauxhall omega... 48mph in a 30mph, my bad i know, road was empty, i know the road like the back of my hand, but still no excuse!! Anyways, i'm now £60 worse off and 3 points less on my licence. What a wonderful way to start the day!

One thing worried me was the fact that the copper didnt believe I hadnt been drinking... asked me countless amounts of times then breathalysed me... the thought of booze that early in the morning personally does nothing for me, would have to be a right hardened alcoholic for that!

How many other people have endorsements on their licence and how much of a change have you noticed when it comes to insurance?

My only other dilemma is that my insurance expires shortly... should I renew the insurance before I get the endorsements, or should I keep bike locked up in the garage for the winter then just start the insurance again in Jan/Feb time?

I got pretty much the same thing back in May, 43mph in a 30. 8:00am. Certainly isnt a good way to start the day. You're lucky you didn't get 6 points. I think you can get 3 points per every 15mph over the limit. Insurance never went up that much next time. However, someone at my work recently said that you dont have to declare speeding offences on your insurance. Not sure if that's true or not. Might be worth a look though.

cheers, nice one, but I'm sure its an offence not to declare any endorsements/penalties when applying for insurance?

I have 3 points on my licence and got a £60 fine.

I went through an amber light and there was a police car behind me which I didnt know about until they told me.

Taught me a little bit to not go through amber lights Razz

but then who doesn't go through them unnecessarily. There was no way I would have been able to stop from 30mph in under 2-3 metres.

Also been stopped for not having a front L plate but other than that I have nothing. Just the 3 points.

Three points on your licence will increase your premium by £196

Six points on your licence will increase your premium by £512

Nine points on your licence will increase your premium by nearly £1,500

Shocked

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if this is actually in place yet. I just read that it's going to be implemented.

The first 3 points will not affect your premium at all with most insurance companies. 6points on will, I asked mine about an SP50 (speeding on a motorway) and 6points and they said it won't affect the premium until renewal and then it'd be about £50 extra. But it all depends on the offence code too, a dangerous driving one will increase it by a lot most likely.

They brethalise people at that time of the morning because a lot of people don't realise that after a night out and an early morning you can still be way over the limit.

A lot of kiddie binge drinkers drink an absolute skinful - stop drinking at 3 in the morning then drive to work at 7 extremely over the limit.

Of course you are on a motorbike so therefore you are an irresponsible (not entering into the discussion of responsibility with speed Laughing

) kiddy binge drinker ..... Laughing

dont worry about the insurance as it wont make much difference anyway. Dunno what bike it is but its worth keeping it insured in case some twat nicks it, but trying to insure it before the endorsement shows on the licence wont work anyway cos the endorsement starts from the day the offense was committed.. i know ive committed enough when i was despatching..... next time tell them its a company vehicle and you are unsure who is riding it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
