Best to bend over and take that one - you got off lucky... We all do regretful things when the red mist descends, but in a 30 or 40 zone is just asking for trouble. The outcome could have been a lot worse.

When I lived in MK, the roundabouts were a curse with quattro cos other drivers would fail to judge the speed at which you are able to traverse them. I had many a moment there. Thats where you can get into a prang...

surely if he has no proof andy its your word against his i would n't have excepted the ticket
i would fight for this one mate

Doesn't work that way, as i know first hand, the way the courts see it is, "why would they lie?" But they do!!! I also know that.

You get some good coppers and some bad ones, i think you got one of the better ones Andy, 3 points for that i'd feel lucky too

Regarding having no evidence. I believe that because he is a professional policeman and is trained to observe speed his opinion is accepted as an estimate of speed and hence admisable in court. The other factor is that although there is a speed limit this is a limit that you cannot exceed by if your'e driving slower than that but still deemed to be driving dangerously you could be collared for that.

last time i had a plod T5 after me in the UR, he was fuming, he couldn't get my speed.
" we were 125 and you were leaving us for dead"
Just doin 70 officer, i said.
If he could he we would have dry bummed me asap! even missed the laser jammer in the grill! Ha ha,,
Both cops were all over the car trying to find something to doo me on.

NEVER admit to speeding, then its up to them to proove it! soon as you say " I might have been going too fast" your knobbed!
I know a traffic orificer, tells me the ins and outs!

Take it like a man. Pay the fine and move on. At least you weren't getting 3 points for 45 MPH in a 40 Zone.

I think alot of speed limits are quite rightly there to protect us. You may think you are invinceable in your quattro bullet best driver in the world mind space. But at 95 MPH in a 40 MPH zone it can be over quick. So quick that you when you come out of your comma you can only remember the last gear change you made.

I am as guilty as the rest of us for over doing it. But at some point someone on these forums is going to suddenly stop logging on and we will all wonder why untill a desraught family member manages to let us know.
