they can take your license away for 30mph above any limit.

They can but I have never seen a bit of caselaw where someone has been given more than 6 points for such a pathetic amount of speeding (Even with a ban), infact it would have probably been an easy appeal......thousands of similar cases '6 points and a fine'........ number of similar cases with more than 6 'none'......if it cant be justified its an easy win.

true...

I personally think its one of those repeat offender things, one time you get 6 points, leave a few years do it again, loose it for a few weeks, I have heard of sittuations where car and bikes caught on the motorway doing a ton plus have it suspended for a few weeks ...

I would have only hoped that he would get 6 points as your right, that does seem the prefered punishemnt.. we mostly know its the fine that hurts...

nice one...........

So we'll see you on the Aviemore run in a couple of weeks but just don't expect you to get the round in?

Fair enough. Looking forward to the whole gory, drink exagerated tale.
