Isle of Man Speeding Penalty

ive moved jobs and i have no daytime internet access, and ive been so busy evenings ive not been on for ages,

My isle of man speeding case finally went to court last week, i ended up with £350 fine +£11 costs and 3 iom points on my imaginary iom licence.

pretty good result considering the bending over i was expecting, so 6 months of stress and worry are now behind me, well apart from having tohand over a substantial wedge of course,

considering the factthati was tagged at 131mph i think i got off extremely likely, and i know it would have been far more severe had i been done in england

again appologies for not putting this up sooner as i had some very supportive encourgement from a lot of members.

Nip tuck wasalso in court 30 mins after me, i know he got a substantial whack as well,but ill leave him to comment o that if he wishes,

so next im going on a honda melody,its impossible to keep a 1200 kawasaki at anything like sensible officer.......................

part of me thinks you lucky lucky man

At one time an IOM ban was a joke, but now they are too damm serious being applied across the whole UK.

congrats on your expensive slap on the wrist

Your 3 IOM points are now 3 points in the UK too. Probably a good result all in all though. Where did you get pulled? Whilst I was there, a guy was pulled for doing about 70 in a 30 through Sulby & was charged with dangerous driving.

Only the bans are recipricol. The points stay in the country you are in.

courdelions right (for a change !!) the points are only valid on the iom, however if you get enough points on the iom to get a ban then your ban becomes valid in the uk,

i got stopped coming down to hillberry after the creg, i was exceptionally humble and polite to the police officer, the road was one way for mad sunday and i didnt pass anyone, i think these are the reasons i didnt get reported for dangerous riding, which is a far more serious charge........

expensive slap on the wwrist though.

I thought you'd run off to South America Captain

Huh,they should have flogged and tortured you like that last naughty biker who now features on their emblem!

Nemo, I've been meaning to ask.....you don't happen to do entertainment in local pubs do you??

Singing and the like?
