Stick to the speed limit , it aint rocket science

I'm not suggesting anything mate. Just asking if there was a way i could dodge the points. Don't think i'm the first and definately won't be the last.

But if you want to carry on moaning about my view on "speeding" go ahead, this isn't the "subject".

I will pop back here in the morning to see responses, hey, maybe there is a way of avoiding these fines?

Well i'm flatterd by the number of replies so thanks.:T

I just feel that the government get enough money out of us as it is and that speeding fines are an extra way of getting more money. They say that it is for safety, that is bullsh*t, it is for extra income. If you take a look at reports since speed camera's have been introduced accidents have actually increased.

Given some of these responses, you would think i had driven past a primary school at 74mph. Not the case at all.

So in response to my original question, before we got side tracked, i guess there is no way of avoiding these points!

Just trying to save a little bit of money, just like all of you who are on here.

Thanks

With your logic, why not avoid your expensive shopping bills at Tesco by shoplifting ? after all they are fleecing the customer :rolleyes: they walk amongst us :eek:

I don't no why some of you give ppl such a hard time about speeding. Fair enough the Op broke the law i think they accept that.
But whats wrong with trying to wriggle out of it if its possible. Just the same as trying to get parking tickets overturned.

I think the problem ppl have particularly with speeding is that the punishment doesn't always fit the crime. You can get 6 points and £500 fine for doing 99mph on a deserted motorway, which could cost you your job, will send your insurance premium through the roof etc etc.
Or if you steal a car tear !!!! round the streets with the police chasing you, get a 2month ban £200 court costs. Scumbag never bothers with insurance and doesn't have a job and possibly not a license. So cost to him £200, but let me guess bet he never pays it.

I'd be a lot happier to pay a speeding fine (should i ever get one) if the really dangerous ppl on the roads got the full weight of the law thrown at them too.

Don't bother. Get yourself on to pepipoo where you will receive some advice, instead of opinions.

I agree speeding is an emotive subject.

I wonder what reactions there would have been if the OP had posted

I broke the law and got caught. How can I legally avoid the punishment which will be meted out to me?

But why do people think they can dodge the points, if you get caught speeding then accept it and pay the fine,

Touch wood because if your smart you dodge em. But this is North Wales do they not still hang miscreants there?

OP your not in Scotland so you won't get away with not signing the form. There are plenty of dodgy ways you could try and get out of it but don't ce surprised if they cartch you and ban you. The only thing you can really do is check if the NIP is compliant with all rules and regs.

Sounds like a fair cop to me. And I bet your speedo was reading nearer 80mph at the time.

If you were sent on a 'Speed Awareness' course like I was last year, then you wouldn't be saying "I was only 14 mph over the limit".
I dipise speed cameras myself, but I saw what happens going just 5MPH over the speed limit and my attitude soon changed!
