I am struggling to understand you here GYKD.

You acknowledge you were speeding, then tried you to outrun the police because you knew you were nicked and already have 9 points so it will be a ban. Then you're wanting to wriggle out of it on the pretext of some flimsy technicality, and on pepipoo are calling the police liars, and only tell half the story.

take some responsibility for your actions, take it on the chin and stop whining.

At least you were lucky on the police chase situation.

I shouldnt pursue any technicalities in case that comes up.

Take it on the chin, stiff upper lip and all that. Use the time off from biking well to evaluate your riding.

Good luck on the fine (if any).

FYI, GYKD

Quote:
The Home Office, meanwhile, has launched an investigation into the use of long-range ProLaser III radar guns after Inverness Sheriff Court threw out a speeding prosecution against 34-year-old John MacGregor. The alleged speed junkie was clocked at 132mph - something which surprised both MacGregor and the court since his car has a flat-out top speed of 107mph.

The ProLaser III is "a handheld device to catch vehicles more than a mile away" which was "designed to prevent drivers evading penalties by slowing down for roadside cameras then speeding up afterwards", the Daily Telegraph explains. Following the court's decision, MacGregor's lawyer called for all convictions based on ProLaser III readings to be reviewed. He further advised "motorists charged with speeding on evidence of the device to contest their case".

Six weeks an counting since I was caught and I have had nothing at all come in the post.

Good luck and I hope the verdict isn't too bad.

Yeah... got the information through, and at the top of the witness statement someone has printed in hand writing "FAST TRACK SPEEDER - HABITUAL"... guess they wanted to get me off the road asap.

For what it's worth,I think you should persue the validity of the speed gun.
It was either out of range at 1000+ or it was'nt and if it was you should be found not guilty.Have you consulted a lawyer?

But the point is, he was guilty and has been found guilty on 3 other seperate occasions.

He also became involved in a high speed police pursuit. This is highly irresponsible and i dont see how anyone on this site can in any good conscience offer advice on how to get away with it

It is possible, next time he speeds, it could be your child crossing the road.

But, to be fair to the man, he hasn't actually demonstrated that he is a physical danger purely because of the speeding. I routinely speed and would you say I'm a danger from what you've seen of my riding?
