Zapped by a Gatso

[ZaphodBeeble]

Well it looks like my brother is in trouble. He's got a letter saying that he was zapped doin 57mph in a 40 zone. Any idea what sort of fine or points he's gonna get? The road that the camera is on is a dual carriageway that shouldn't really have a speed camera, it's safe to do 60 there. Bloody cameras.

Probably standard £60 fixed penalty and 3 points...

My Dad did 58 in a 40 zone and that's what he got.

Could be worse!

Oh well, that ain't too bad. Just hope it ain't 6 points as he will lose his license. (Or CBT I mean).

Check out this months PB for ways to try and avoid getting fines - If you both say it was you, no blame can be placed so no case!

Technically I think they can give you 3 points per every 15mph you're over the speed limit. Or so the plod said when I got captured. I was 13mph over at the time so I got 3 points plus £60 fine.

If your brother has a provisional licence he can get up to 12 points before it's taken away from him.

I got caught doing 57 in a 30. (big open road, ridiculous limit ) and I got 3 points with 125 pound fine.

BTW, I got done by O P chocolates, on the duel carriage part outside of it and it was a 30mph even though its a duel carriage way.

I got upto 57 when I was catching up with my instructer on my CBT (first time on the road) on a cual carrageway. I thought the limit was national but I was confused and didn't see the 40mph signs...oops!
Who would have gotten in trouble for that though, as I'd technically not passed my CBT yet?

Bad luck, probably only get 3 points and £60 fine though.
