No conditional offer in the letter, just the "confirm you were the driver" form, so there is some very faint hope I suppose. Maybe 1 in 1000.

However, I'm resigned to losing my licence's previously clean status.

One word.........bollox.

Blimey they're lenient - usually it's 10%+2 mph - 35 in this case. My only offence was when I was done for 36 in a 30 .... and that was the only occasion I've ever exceeded the speed limit.

I naively thought the same thing. Sent it back the very next day with a note saying that I had only been doing 36 in a 30, the road was clear, I take the law seriously so have returned this immediately blah blah.

Result?......3 points and £60. Just got to pay it a bit sooner

you should be ashamed of yourself, not bragging about it on a public forum you tw*t.







just kiddin we have all done it, find out if you can do a speed awareness course instead, to get out of having the points on your licence


some of us are luckier than others, aye bigape ?

Don't they just get you out of a fine, not the points?

It's no great secret that the fixed cameras in the SW Police area are set to trigger at 39mph........ but this was a mobile, so I'm not sure.

I guess I should assume "limit + 10% of limit + 2mph" as per ACPO guidelines in future. Plus a bit for speedo over-read, of course

its the angry at your self feeling thats ****e, the £60 is rubbish this side of christmas, insurance companies expect or seem to in my experiance at least one speeding offence on the license,

I complained when i got mine about the fact they had stuck a fookin great sign in front of the camera so i couldnt see it,

Tough was there response....

No the get you out of the points but you have to pay the fine!!! You only get 1 chance of this though if you get caught again there is no option of the driver awareness course!! I know this from personal experience hence 9 points on my license and a year left of riding slowly/or knowing where the cameras are
