Default Re: Has anyone been done for speeding between 70 and 100 on a motorway?

The court awarded my 5 points, you can get a max of 6 points if caught from about 93mph up to 100mph.

Thanks, Tom.

I think you will find that if you do not tell them, your insurance will be void if you need it to either make a claim yourself, or someone else claiming against you.

i got caught at 117mph two up on my africa twin in 1998 on the m25 by surrey traffic plod at 10.30 at night, I already had an sp30 (fixed camera - DOH!) the copper was seriously impressed that I had managed to get that much out of it. they commented on my good lane discipline, indicating and the fact that I knew where they had started following me (but being a **** I still didnt slow down! - DOH! no 2) they said because of my attitude, the condition of my bike, and the good riding (other than the speed) they would normally send me on my way with nothing more than a word of advice, however because i had full leathers etc but my pillion only had jeans, trainers and a paddock jacket they gave me 3 points and £60 fine. best thing was it had never even crossed my mind as the pillion had her own bike and was an experianced rider. made me think. fairest coppers i've ever met.

got caught a few months later wheeliing down barkingside - got a cd10 and £180 (DOH! no 3)

insurance????? I was shafted regardless........

Tell them, soon as. You never know when you'll need insurance. If you wrote your car off and it's nothing to do with the insurance and no third parties or damage to property then I wouldn't even bother telling them. Even though they're not paying out they'll note it and your renewal will suffer as a result IIRC.

As for the other stuff?! WHOAH there boy.

Under 100 is just a fine and points....i got clocked at 111 on M25 and got a 2 month ban, 280 quid fine and points....you takes the risk and pay the consequences if caught. Tend to stay on the lower side of 100 now!

You don't need to tell insurance people until renewal.

SP50 for 80 on a motorway! 3 points and £60 fine. Didn't affect my insurance at all.
