Epically good deal, that would usually be a ban.

I got points for speeding, but I wasn't going as fast as the laser gun said I was.
I had that many years ago on the way to Reading cruise.

The policeman that did me was just holding it without a tripod and then walked out into the middle of the road.
It was pitch black and raining, I could hardly see him and lucky for him I had good brakes.
I've read that if the guns aren't steady then they can throw up an invalid signal. Some guy won a case in America buy showing that one of the Court room walls was doing 5mph.

What pisses me off is I see people stopped on there waiting all the time.
Harsh. How guilty did your Mum feel?

Probably could of got away with it if I kept my mouth shut but getting a lecture about being an obstruction while sat in the back of a police car stopped in the middle of the road with a huge line of traffic behind it got to much to bare

I got 3 for 34 in a 30  Was a little pissed off at that. Couple of days later pulled on the M53 doing almost a ton, got another 3 points. Thought that was fair tbh

Good, unless you had a mechanical issue with your car/bike.
People who dawdle along on NSL routes are worse than speeders imo

People who go too slow on national speed limit roads are a nightmare, they probably end up causing more accidents for going too slow. They should fine more people for that.
