As you know i went to dundee to work this weekend. I got a hire car that went slightly faster than i thought and managed to get caught doing 107.9 MPH FTW1111!!!!1111:dry:
Is what a unmarked police car in between perth and sterling. The police men were very nice to me though :lookaroun
At the end when the had read me my rights they asked me if i'd anything to say. Lyke i was gonna say it wasn't me when i could see the video screen with 107.9 MPH on which i'd just done :blink:
pfft, 107mph? woman:dabs:
You're gonna bet a ban, like I did when I went 105mph on the motorway.
At least three months, the police said. However, my git of a solicitor told me that 'cos I'm self employed, I'd get off with a fine and a weeks ban.
Great, I thought, so I represented myself in court.
Three weeks ban and an eight hundred quid fine :dabs:
£800 :O What do you say :unsure:Quote:

Over the ton is automatic ban, if memory serves.
Tho' if you can convince the Sheriff that driving is work essential you might get a fine only. However the fine would be bumped up, so that may not be worth it.
I said 'cheque or cash' - just to be a cunt :dabs:Quote:

Have we got a extradition treaty with Scotland,just refuse to go back.
I'm also hoping that i can plead guilty by letter :unsure:
Other wise i've gotta drive all the way up there to get banned and try to get back :dry:
It's also my first offence
Write to the Court and be really apologetic, explain that you were in a hurry to get somewhere, make it believable and realistic. No point in saying that you were late for promised bum secks with your Grandad or anything. Well that may impress some Sheriffs.
Explain that you really need your licence for work purposes and that you may lose your job if you lose the licence.
If you are willing, ask if they can punish you by a fine rather than a ban. Again apologetic and it won't happen again.
This may serve to shorten the ban (I have even seen it avoided, but that would be rare).
Good luck btw.
Good luck with your insurance premiums. :lol:
Mine were not affected.Quote:

Yeah, it only affects your premiums if you actually 'fess up to your insurance company... :ph34r:Quote:

So one came out with a good excuse today at work to say. I was clocked at 107.9 MPH. Now because it was a hire car from europcar i could say that i thought the speedo was in kph, which works out at 66 mph :01:
Do you think it would work :D
:lol: no :mellow:
Do share.Quote:

My brain is fecked :dabs:
He told me to try to say that because it was a europcar that i could say that the i thought the speedo was in kph instead of mph. Which works out that i was really doing 66 mph at 107 kph :01:Quote:

If I am to go to Swansea, I'll have to pull an all nighter and then I'll fall asleep in some pub and get my visage in Loaded's Mate in a State :dabs:
Good idea that, got to be worth a try.Quote:

The rod requires bait and the taking of same. It must be a deliberate ploy on the part of the rodist, taken by the rodee.
You know, I had lost sight of that.Quote:
