I've just 'popped my cherry'....

[p1carl]

My speed camera cherry that is
Just received a NIP! First one
89 in a 60 on the A9 coming back from Scotland. It was a lovely 1400 mile in the Noble as well - until this.

What do you reckon this'll cost me?

[MrFlibbles]

I got 89 in a NSL dual carriageway 2 weeks ago, I got 3pt FPN and £60.

Was an unmarked copper though.

89 in a 60, almost 50% over the local limit and 19 mph over the national limit. Lucky to keep your gonads.

Should just be 3 points and £60 fixed penalty. They don't normally bother issung a summons if its less than 30 over the limit but you never know .

Be careful out there

Whilst I wouldn't want them to do 40mph lorries almost always drive at 20mph over their legal limit on A roads!!! Not a ticket to be seen
Sorry to hear this Carl but I suppose you were threatening the whole country with death and destruction travelling at that speed!!

You'll probably have you car crushed.

[mr.man]

I got done for average speed over a set distance on a 60 limit road at 86 mph. 3 points and £60.
Lucky really as I was decelerating.

[Lakelord]

Carl, did the N.I.P. arrive within two weeks of the 'alleged' offence? If not, you can get off scot free.

[Mr Noble]

Sorry to hear that Carl.

[doom and gloom mode]

I got camera vanned at 87 in a 60 and they threw the book at me. 5 points and a £350 fine and it was my first ever offence after 11 years of driving!! It was a wide empty straight road on a sunny day, I was slightly gobsmacked.

To top it off, I got done by another van a week later doing 67 in a NSL and got 3 more points

I got 5 points? £300.00 for 89 in a 60. Clear dry dual carriage way BIB on bridge.

Speed limit on a dual carridgeway is 70 mph, so you should have only got 3 points and a £60 fine IMO.

Not necessarily. For example there are dual carriageways on the A20 that have 50 mph limits. The A102 into Blackwall Tunnel is dual carriageway and thats 30 mph.

Interesting this one, I’ve got a 94 in a 70 coming up, only car on the road, hidden mobile camera 11.30 at night unlit dual carriageway, I'm advised it's probably not an approved camera, but to find out I would have to plead not guilty and that’s to dangerous.

What really pisses me off is I’ve got a clean licence

[Biggriff]

Good luck. I was doing 89.6 in a 60 limit and got £550 plus costs and 5 pts.

My advice is you will go to Court. Throw yourself on their mercy. Get a letter from your employer saying how your job will be compromised or how your aged mother will die in her garret if you can't get there to feed her etc etc.

Magistrates guidelines say you have to be doing 30 over the limit to get a ban. I was 0.4mph under!

[ajg31]

All depends on what the Magistrates feel like on the day. I have got done at 105 on busyish dual carraigeway and managed to get only 6 points. My father got caught on the same stretch on clear roads and was banned for 9 months. He was riding a bike tho, read that any way you like
For 89 you could get a 28 day ban but i think its pretty unlikely. I would go the points route if i was a gambling man. I may be expecting some too after my trip to Deven.
O/T any roads you want to recommend to be for Scotland?
