Anyone got away with it?

Is there any way of getting away with a fine/points if you get done by a gatso?

I've heard you may get away with it if you say you don't know who was riding it at the time, maybe your cousin from another country?

Chances are they'll send you a pic riding in your leathers.

I remember a family friend tried to pull the 'I can't be sure who was driving' so they sent him a picture of him, face on, driving the car.

Obviously it's a bit different on a bike.

You broke the law, it's your turn to pay the price. And in turn I'll do it too.

Contest it.

Go to court - in the weeks leading up to it they'll send out a helicopter, a plane, and maybe a couple of RAF fighters to follow you.

You'll still get your 3 points and a 60 quid fine, but at least you'll have cost them Very Happy

Costing them ? It's costing us, all of us Neutral

The chances os getting awat with it nowadays are pretty slim. If you can't tell them who was riding then the registered owner of the vehicle gets the points.
AFAIK there is something going through the European courts at the moment, something like its against our civil rights to prosecute if all the facts are not known.

i dunno about you but i thought the pole tax never caught on?

...and surely it's Poll Tax anyway?

Although I wouldn't put it past Brown to start charging us for walking past telephone poles....

I get quite miffed with people who follow the "well at least it cost the government/police/courts to catch me", when the average cost of a few cases in a magistrates court probably exceeds the amount many of us pay in tax each year. If that's the situation, then where is the money to pay for all of the services I expect going to come from?

Hi m8
If you got flashed then my advice is to wait it out and hope for the best, if however you have received the dreaded letter then i would just be a man about it and own up.

Unfortunately I got the letter a while ago.

Be a man, take it on the chin and learn from it. Or, if you prefer, ignore it, carry on the way you are, and eventually lose your licence. Only you have the ability to stop further points. If you want to go fast, do it on a track.

It ain't rocket science.
