So as you all may know I was asking you all what I would receive for the speeding ticket I got the other day. Received the letter this morning, Have 3 points and a £100 fine. No option of anything else! Bascially yes im an idiot it's all my fault. More gutted about the fine really, But there it is!! Now cry with me haha

We've all been there, no choice but to suck it up chick, was only £60 last time I got done though.... Learn where your local cameras are and drive to the limit round strange towns and cities, you can always get t' foot down on motorways and nsl b roads x

You should have the choice of going to court surely if you believe you didn't commit the offence.

I saw this on Facebook as Sam commented on it. Assumed it was you. Chalk it up to experience and go from there. I thankfully got off speeding once. I was very grateful and to be honest it has made me a better driver.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

Speak for yourself Matt, I (somehow! ) have never had points or a fine for speeding!
Harsh one for you though Siân, but as has been said, you SHOULD learn and become a better driver off the back of this.

What's the point I was going 42 in a 30 ive therefore commited an offence! Ha! No point trying to appeal it! Il end up with more points and a heftier fine!

Harsh one for you though Siân, but as has been said, you SHOULD learn and become a better driver off the back of this. you will mate, it's a certainty if you do any driving at all, it's worst when you get done for 34 in a 30 stuff like that, which I did overtaking a stationary bus that started pulling out on my do put my foot down a little only to get knobbed by a mobile camera..... Matter of time mate lol
My mum was doing 35 in a 30 got 3 points and a £80 fine!

Yes I get it was a gun, that's what I meant though, they have set places where they go, I know them all in about a ten mile radius of where I live

I drive that road a lot! I did say to him I thought it was 40! But he said as soon as you pass the farm it's 30. So it goes from national speed limit to 30 :/ which I thought was weird but hey. Done now
