I have just recieved my licence back after changing my address so can now confirm exact convictions stand as follows.

SP50 Exceeding speed limit on a motorway - Fixed £60 fine and 3 penalty points.
SP50 Exceeding speed limit on a motorway - £450 fine and 84 day ban.
CD10 Driving without due care and attention - £450 fine and 84 day ban.

Still can't work out which is worse CD10, CD20 or CD30?

Ouch.

I didn't think you could get 2 convictions for the one offense I take it you only paid 450 once & had one 84 day ban?

You filthy stinking criminal. You make me look like a model citizen with...

CD10 Driving without due care and attention - £1200 fine and 6 points (expired)
SP50 Exceeding speed limit on a motorway - Fixed £60 fine and 3 points.

Come June I'll be able to send off my licence and have the CD10 removed. Which'll be nice. And then another year before I can stop declaring it entirely because I'll be rehabilitated! Hurrah!

It's not one offence. It's two. Exceeding the speed limit being one and 'undertaking' being the other. I had to pay both fines and the bans ran concurrently so £900 fine plus court costs and victim surcharge and 84 days off the road.

Before I sent my licence off for the change of address I had an SP30 on there too.

So how come http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2PBMGmUjTE (unmarked Police biker following biker in Sussex) was only charged with one count of Dangerous Driving? and not charged with every time he exceeded the speed limit, every overtake on solid whites, every wheelie etc. I think you got shafted

Your trying to split hairs.

I was not charged with Dangerous Driving. (actually I was but declined to accept it). I personally think I got off lightly considering I was on the YZF and the throttle would not twist any further. There could have been a series of other offences he could have charged me with including failing to stop, resisting arrest, and probably a few other things thrown in. I'm sure my front tyre was (is) well overdue replacement.

Your original statement was regarding being convicted for the same offence twice. I didn't get convicted of the same offence. I commited two offences at the same time. That's different.

That link is blocked at work but I think I know the video you have linked to.
