berettaman1 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I am a bit Peeved this morning, after my 3 points and a £60.00 fine for doing 36 in a 30 limit, I have just read a chap with two wives and a business in Glasgow has got off from being banned for doing 64mph in a 30 limit!!!down here I was informed by a Welsh traffic officer that it was an automatic ban if I had exceeded 60mph in a 30 mph zone?? If he has got away with it, Then Why?dont tell me that it would be an insult to his religeon? Hhhm I am now really begining to think there is a law for some that dosent work for the rest of us... Lets have a bit of fair play.... Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu S Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I am in complete agreement mate! My sister got caught by one of those types with a hairdryer a few months back, so she got her 3 points and £60 fine. Now, she was 24 at the time (now 25), and drives a BMW Z4 2.0, and her insurance was already excessive, so as a result of the points, it went up. A few weeks back she got caught again in Norwich by one of those mobile cameras this time. So she was all pi*sed off and about to kill someone (despite it being her fault admittedly), when she got another letter through the post offering her the chance to not have the points if she took a 'speed awareness' course at a cost of £100. She wasn't sure, but i sugested she might do as well to do it, despite it costing £100, as her insurance, plus the fine would exceed £100 quite considerably. When I got caught a few years back, it was 3 points and £40. No course, no nothing, just take your points. Seems royally unfair! I had to work double shifts for ages to cover the insurance increase on my motor then! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think that the guy in Glasgow is suffering enough, having two mother-in-laws? Edited April 5, 2008 by bob300w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
