    Yeah - pay the fine, take the points and dont complain or you could end up being charged up to a grand - and getting more points or a ban.

    If you are lucky...like me :D If someone is watching you from above your might get away with it.

    To cut a long story short...Someone wanted my car and tried to highjack it at Birmigham Wheels on a Saturday night :o

    Anyway..I have got anti-highjack feature on my alarm so they couldnt get in. I booted it from Town towards Solihull...Stratford Road (A34)..as they soon caught up in their AX GT...I put my foot down again. It was pissing down with rain and I had 3 mates in my car. Anyway...I got clocked at 92 MHP at 12:36am by a T5...Not a chance of getting away from the ones round here so I pulled over.

    They police said that I was racing and they didn't believe the story I told them. I got 3 points and ?60 fine.....I was very lucky as doing over 30 mph over the limit you get banned and a HUGE fine. I handed in everything...I waited for ages...and eventually I had a letter saying that no further action will be taken. I later found out that they had lost thier copy of the ticket so they could not put points on my licence and not take my money. I got ?60 back and a clean licence.

    But still....DONT SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! If you dont do the crime..you got nothing to worry about.

    Rob. (im wise!....can I be known as 'Wiseworm'??????) LOL! 8)

    I have 3 points for doing 42 in a 30 zone. and even though it was a busy road in a flow of traffic, i still have no excuse for speeding.
    As much as i hate it, the police were only doing their job.
