270 quid + costs?

Got away light I'd say.

Too right, considering I ended up paying approx £350 for 98.5!

Shame the story is so brief, what were the traffic conditions like I wonder. All very well the police being po-faced BUT if he was the only thing on the road then it's hardly the crime of the century.

Don't they means test these fines ? My brother got caught doing 120mph on the m6 toll and got a 7 or £800 fine (reduced to about £500 as he turned up to court on time). He earns a decent wedge and had to submit financial information before hand.

I do remember some talk about £10/mph over the limit though which would make sense in his case .......

Bit of a boring write up wasn't it? Usually you can rely on dramatic phrases like.



" careered along on his high powered machine"

"leaving fellow road users in his wake"
:lol:

Yer and theres me 800 quid lighter.. with a 4 and 5 points for 99.10 and 97.5

Grinch..Those figures look the same as you got in your area heat of Come Dancing? :wink: :)

No.

doesn't it say he was actually banned for six months? he also had to pay costs. Was anyone here banned?
