Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007Speeding Fine :(
Went out for a nice ride on the only sunny day last month and got caught doing 89mph on a country road. The rozzers were using a radar gun and bagged 2 more bikers while they were processing me :( It was basically a moneymaking gig for North Yorkshire Police cos it was halfway down a dead straight country road between two fields, with no bends or junctions i.e. buggerall chance of accidents - although I almost ran over the copper when he jumped out from behind the hedge to stop me! Anyway, I surrendered my license for the 3 points and paid the £60. Anyone here know how long it's gonna take to get my license back from the DVLA? I wanna test ride a fireblade so need my license back before I kiss it goodbye permanently }:) >I >almost ran over the copper when he jumped out from behind the hedge to >stop me! Almost is not good enough. Go back and have another crack at him.  SignatureRoger Hunt > Anyway, I surrendered my license for the 3 points and paid the £60.

For 26 mph over the limit I had to plead on the courts mercy and got 5 points and £210. They very kindly vascared me after a 60 mph fixed camera so I hadn't quite wound it back up enough to lose my license.

For 27 over the limit (57 in a 30, although it wasn't as bad as it sounds as they pinged me, as the photo showed, with my front wheel on the line between the GLF signs (although if they'd waited five seconds they'd have got me doing 120 in the 60)) and after appealing to their sense of fair play (anybody doing up to 26 over the limit automatically gets the standard), they relented and let me off with the 60 quid and three points.

Not bad, a work colleagues son got 6 points and a ban for 54 in a 30. He did argue with the copper that it should be a 40 FFS so no wonder it went to court. Reduced to 5 points on appeal. SignatureIan >Anyone here know how long it's gonna take to get my license back from >the DVLA? IIRC doesn't go to DVLA, they just scribble on it at the local office and send it back. or at least that's what Cambridge did to mine. I got it back in about a week after I paid the £60.

I take it this is one of those "lets make this perfectly safe and fast dual carriage-way a 60" limits? There's one on my commute to/from work - it's easy double the limit there and very easy to triple it, if you give it some beans in the preceding 40 section.

Well, this is a 60 straight away from the roundabout, but it's just long enough to take the RX to the beep in in 5th gear before it's time to think about slowing down again. It's rude not to do it. -- d. > I take it this is one of those "lets make this perfectly safe and fast > dual carriage-way a 60" limits? > > There's one on my commute to/from work - it's easy double the limit > there and very easy to triple it, if you give it some beans in the > preceding 40 section. There's on on my way to work that went from 70 to 50, overnight.

I > think it's more dangerous now as everyone is half asleep on it. Quite. This one was changed from NSL[1] in January and for a long while people just seemed to ignore it with most still doing 70-80mph. Now more and more people are adhering to it. It's only a matter of time before the spee^h^h^hafety cameras are put up. [1] Original 40 extended to include what was NSL previously. Rest of old NSL made 60.

I did 35 miles of the M5 at 50mph yesterday because I've got one of those silly spare wheels that you can't drive at proper speeds on. I really struggled to pay attention and found myself drifting off and daydreaming quite a lot.

Given how skinny it is, I was happy to take it easy. Particularly when braking because the contact patch of the other tyres is about 4 times the size.

ISTR some sort of sticker, yeah. Didn't read it, mind. It was raining pretty hard, on and off, while driving home, and nothing untoward happened, so it must have been safe; I took it a bit steady on the corners though. SignatureBear >> >> Hmmm.

I was pissed off at having a tyre (later found to be 2 tyres) ripped to shreds by Glos roads. Sticker me no stickers, would have been my stance.

Mmmmmm yes if they could make that into an aftershave I'd wear it. I also use DKNY, and latterly Fahrenheit 32, except I'm not sure the 32 suits me; it's a bit flowery, so I don't think I'll buy it again. > BTW, I got my first EKS cheque today. Nice, isn't it? :^) I wouldn't know. I haven't been paid in months, coz I haven't got around to sorting out my company bank account yet.
