£250 fine + £35 court cost + £15 TAX

Sounds like a result to me - I got 6 months ban and £250 fine, and that was nearly 20 years ago

bloody hell grim!!

£250 fine..

had me a tug back in the 80's "run with a mad lot from nott's" we all got a pull at the same time, well 3 of us did,

50 in a 30 zone.. was a good job the speed trap was only about 200 yards from the traffic lights where we blasted off from..

anyway we got nicked on the old system think it was £1 per mile over the speed limit..

we got 3 endorsements + £20 fine + £25 costs = £45

bare in mind we were only on about £70 a week

hells bells grim what speed was you doing to get £250 ?

i know most 1000cc bikes topped out around 140mph back then with the exception of a few... one comes to mind "Bill Hunters GSXR1100 turbo" he used to run with us at times...

luckily he won't with us that night :)

I suppose you're lucky overall.

I got 3 points for a 40/30 which I would have contested but a solicitor said there was no chance of avoiding speeding tickets - although if you deliberately shoplift you get to sign a piece of paper promising you won't do it again :no:

A nurse who stole a dying man's wallet from his bedside cabinet got a 3 month suspended sentence.

You and I have points on our licences for 3 feckin years! :mad:

think it's 4 years now... valid for 3.. but can't have them removed for 4..

just had it back today from court ... it's wrote in ink (Biro)... so i take it the DVLA never had it...

go figure :confused:
