Default Been caught speeding - rubbish!

And it was on 4 wheels and not 2. Got zapped at 82mph on the M180 heading towards S****horpe by a van parked on one of those raised platforms just behind a bridge, sneaky little sh*tes!

I drive around 40-50k miles per year and this is my first speeding offence since passing my test in 1988. Oh well

Welcome to BIG BROTHER 2006. I don't agree with speeding per se, but thats a bit unlucky mate.
More Revenue perhaps?

D'oh... but prepare yourself for the 'don't come here complaining just because you got caught doing something you shouldn't be' brigade.

I'm sure they'll be here any second Ping, once they've finished the long journey from their higher moral ground.

Bad luck. Least it's only £60 and 3 points.

Complaining? Complaining would be trying to squirm your way out of the ticket. Doesn't seem to me like glsuk1970 is doing that.

Top marks that man. Makes a refreshing change for folks to just turn around & say 'Well, I got caught speeding. Bugger.'

Are we talking about the "Take it on the chin/like a man/You done the crime now take you punishment/If you don't like it don't exceed the speed limit"brigade?
Sod all that,it's a real ****er is'nt it?Big brother jobsworths are destroying this country and I could have a good rant but I'll spare you all just this once.

We were just talking about you, were your ears burning?

I can't complain at all really (even though I already have!) what with the amount of time I spend on the road, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Like andyaikido said, least it's only £60 and 3 points.

Coincidentally, of the 5 people I work with, 3 of us have been caught in the last 2 weeks. Must be some kind of evil curse at work
