bossjohnc Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 http://www.pepipoo.comAnd 56 in 2nd for any duration won't do your car much good (esp as it's a 6sp!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'd have thought you'd get away with a 3 pointer and a £60 fine with that if our NIP file at work is anything to go by.What I find very annoying is the lack of consistency from council to council and constabulary to constabulary. The UK system for speeding needs levelling so that you know what's what, rather than the whims and fancies of the local gendarmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 That of course depends on how long you've been driving - if you only need 6 points for a ban and retest, then wave bye bye to your license - if not, then I agree, 3 points.

RobG Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 And 56 in 2nd for any duration won't do your car much good (esp as it's a 6sp!)Mine won't even do 56 in 2nd. unlike that pug 107 i got a loan of one time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 You should let him lose his license. He deserves what he gets for doing 80 in a 30. Want a good slap at very least!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupodave Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Yeah, no matter how much of a mate they are, their choice to speed so they can wrap the consequences.I'd say 3 points and £60 fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbeth! Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I dont no how true this is, but I did a speeding course to save myself from 3 points and a ban early in august and i was told:In a 30 zone:35-39 (if applicable in county) - Invite to Speed awareness course, if rejected 3 points and # 60fine40-49 3 points and #60 fine50+ Court Summons Hope for your sake it isn't, but the 2 guys running the thing, although they were only free lance driving instructors, seemed to think that was the case!

Adam K Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 i wouldn't worry about it, i've been caught for far worse and it's all ended happily ever after.i went on a speed awareness course when i got caught for 35 in a 30, it was really really boring and taught me nothing i didn't already know, and it was populated by middle aged to old people, not really anyone my age. stupid thing is, i wasn't even meaning to rag it, i was just driving to go buy some lunch on my break from work.

moreno510 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 for 56mph in a 30 i think you'll be looking at 6 points and maybe £200 finethat's what i got for doing 96 on the motorwaybut allowing for regional differences you might get it easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 well iv got 3 points and its 12 and bye bye licence as iv been driving over 2 years now and put it this way my friend owes me as i saved his bacon by not letting the cops past forcing them to get me instead as he was doing roughly 80 in a 30 and has only had his licence for 3 months so hed have probably if not defineltly lost it so does anyone think i could lose my licence? bearing in mind im allowed 9 pointsSorry, but call me an old fart if you want.1. Your pal deserves a ban for 80mph in a 302. You deserve a ban for 56mph in a 303. You deserve a court summons for interfering with the police in the course of their duty.On National speed limit roads I can understand speeding, but 30mph limits are set for a reason.Oh and as BossJohn says you ain't doing your Lupo any good driving like that too often.I hope if you get away with a ban this time you learn your lesson and slow down around town.Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt~black Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 if worst comes to worst or you really don't want to be within one conviction of loosing your licence ask for short period disqualification they'd probably only give you a month i reckon if ya throw enough money at it you can get out of anythin just depends how deep your pockets are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
