Have you been caught and how fast?
I was caught last week 96mph on the M1 under cover BMW 3 series! Never been done before so got away fine and 3 points.

65 in a 30 - Section 59'd
100+ in a 30   - Section 59'd
Never been caught with enough evidence to give me points thankfully, but i've calmed down now, this was all in the mad/showing off stage just after passing test

We all speed or have done in the past, but 100 in a 30 is a bit much lol

it's not exactly a built up area, it's a wide open road that could easily be 50+ and it was late at night no-one on the road, only reason its a 30 is because of the illuminations, not trying to justify my speed or anything as i was stupid and regret it, but you cant change whats already happened

Depends on what you were done for but i think the normal 3 points and a fine is 3 or 4 years on the paper part? and 5 years for insurance purposes

i thought if you were doing over 90 its an instant ban, or is that just for first 2 years driving?
iv never been unlucky enough to get caught (touch wood) but i got 3 points and a £60 fine for going through a buses only. near my house, probably 1 in a 100 that done it that day and only one that got caught
