Most recent this summer was a fixed camera in 'Ull. A bright orange Focus ST with a big bore exhaust had startled a cat on the other side of the road and the cat was running towards me, so I had the option of definitely hitting the cat or speeding up slightly. The former was not an option imo. 37 in a 30.

much cheaper to run the cat over!

Cheers H, but I don't thing a 500's quite me

+1 on the no points for me

I've had some very close calls over the years.

E92westy · 11-28-2010, 05:42 PM

None at the moment, but picked up six points and £500 fine in '97 for 106mph on the bike after been nabbed by a laser.
Pretty lucky really for two reasons....
1) The other rider I was with got fined £1000... as he was 'lucky' enough to have his redundancy money in his bank account and the fines were means tested (my brief never handed the forms in

)
2) Later on the same run we were 'flat out'. On my bike that was only 155mph. I was being left behind.

I would say that the trip to court shat me up big style and I've been 'clean' since.
The bike went some years ago and I always still try to 'make progress' but within limits (plus the plod now publish on their website where the mobile cameras are going to be ..)

Is there a 'safer roads partnership' in your area?
If so, have a look on their website.

Got a clean licence at present

.

Only ever 'caught' twice, both about 10 mph above the limit (40 in a 30 / 70 in a 60) so hardly hardcore. Both were within 3 days of each other not long after I'd got my first 350Z. The second one was set on cruise-control and I'm to this day adamant is was a 70. Dropped off my licence now as they were 5 years ago.
