CAUGHT DOING 101MPH on M1>>>>>>>>>

Got caught down the M1 at 110.5 for a 5 miles back in 1996. Think it was between J12 and J11 southbound at 1 am.

Copper was fine, suggested I goto court and give evidence myself and present any mitigating circumstances i.e. job etc.

I also employed a barrister - oh how posh.

Well I ended up standing in front of the Hemel Hempstead migistrates and gave evidence telling them what a bad lad I had been and how I had let everyone doen etc etc.

Ended up with a £400 fine (I was an IT contractor then and was means tested) and a £200 barristers bill. Oh and a 2 week ban with no points.

This didn't end up costing me anymore money on insurance and taught me a VERY valuable lesson about speeding. Not least of all because of the inconvenience of public transport living in Hull and working in London ! In fact I have driven much more steadily and cautiously since but of course have my moments and still enjoy my sports cars more than ever

Good luck.

Would this have stopped you speeding ?

Slightly adult!

I seriously think this would work, especially if they were placed ever 100 meters, much much better than sleeping policemen.

Any one want to purchase a Drive Smart?

I recently had to renew my insurance for GTA turbo and A310. I was worried that the 6 points i recently got would mean the insurance was gonna go sky high... Still with footman james, and still paying the same premium,, about £500. I was quite relieved, they said the points will make no difference to the premium
