What is the LOWEST speed over the national speed limit that someone has been GATSO'd or pulled over??
I got 3 points for doing 70 in a 60 and 90 in a 70.
Anyone got done for doing 80mph on a motorway??????????

AFAIK the threshold for GATSO in 30's has recently been lowered to 36mph.

I got pulled many years ago on the M1 in Yorkshire for about 70 - 72mph.
I was following a plod R Rover on an empty road at about 70 for a few miles he then slowed slightly (oldest trick in the book, I know!) I thought this to be stupid so I slowly overtook him, I got a roadside lecture - how dare you overtake a police car doing 70 blah, blah, blah... but didn't get any points or fine.

More recently I got nicked, 3 points & £40 fine for 85 on M1 by a following fascist.

On the other hand 3yrs ago I got pulled on NSL road after (unkowingly) leaving VolvoT5-Plod behind whilst overtaking a string of traffic, Plod asked me what speed I was doing I said about 70 - 80 he replied that I was talking a load of bo****ks and told me that I had been doing, in his opinion "at least 120" (more like 140!) but he only gave me a bollocking and a producer...Phew!(some Plod are OK!)

So I guess it all depends who pulls you and what sort of mood they're in.

he started to give me a bit of a bolocking then ended up having a chat about the motor out of intrest and the fact the atual drivining was of a good standard and had a crack and a joke then said o,k slow down a bit pleace m8 and was very nice.

another time had a larth with a coulpe of to who followed me in the the local retail park one night .

they thort it may have been nicke at first as realised it want and we was both going to leave
then we found out we were all locked thee retail pack and the gate had shut on a time lock just after we bothe got in there
