My day in court today for speeding

**EvilBoB** · 17th February 2004

7 day ban!? If that's all you get and you need to drive for work, take a week off :-)

If it was Caerphilly (Gwent) police it would have been a different story - they are bast*rds

I'd trade 5 points for a 7 day ban. You got a good deal, this should be in the bargains section.

Take it on the chin fella and learn from it.

**CON-DIGI** · 17th February 2004

Are you taking the piss young man?? you break the speed limit by more than 30MPH and you virtually get away with it? you are leading a charmed life.

Dont forget, a court can INCREASE a sentence if they think you've got off too lightly........LEAVE WELL ALONE! :nowords:

It is supposed to work that way ???I know a couple of muppets that have been banned for 12 months for simillar offences.

@mladen, if you appeal I would say that they WILL increase your punishment m8. Keep ya gob shut, lol.

You lucky lucky B*stard!!! Can u give me the lottery numbers for saturday??

How the F*CK can you even consider appealling??? My wife got 3 points for doing 35 in a 30!!! You really should have been banned - so keep your gob shut!!

**pratman** · 18th February 2004

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan 7 days ban u are so lucky, u could arry on driving i mean as long as u drive sensibly u aint gonna get a pull, man if i ever get done for speeding i wanna get the judge u got..............

**Shotgunjim** · 18th February 2004

I thought the law was that if you broke 100mph it was an immidiate 1 year ban!?!?!? But still, count yourself lucky and DONT SPEED IN THE FUTURE!

Well, it was Gwent Police. and the court is only 10 miles north from Caerphilly.

**Snak3** · 18th February 2004

lucky bloke lol, seeing as we got fined �60 for doing 33 in a 30mph area last month! don't get caught doing it again!

**knee doc** · 18th February 2004

OK...am i missing something ....... if you get points (froma camera) your not a convicted driver if your insurance company asks...but if you go to court and get banned you have a driving conviction .... surely thats worse from an insurance point than a few points......insurance companies don't ask how many points you have..but they do ask if you been convicted ????

Is that right ??? i'm not a lawyer :|

**Porthos** · 18th February 2004

Are you taking the piss m8? Sounds like you've been very lucky to me, you wanna appeal for the sake of 100 quid?!?

That's about the strength of it Knee Doc.

The only reason the OP never got points was because he went straight in to a ban, however he is still going to have an SP30 conviction on his license for the next 4 years (which he will have to declare).

Last week in Helsinki(Finland) a guy was up in court for doing 50MPH i a 30 zone, he was let off with a fine for the piddling amount of........

�116,000!!!

Over there fines are in relation to your earnings, the guy in question is the heir to a sausage empire!
