    Why is everyone on this forum jumping to the conclusion that I am or have been a perpetual speed offender ever since I started my motoring career ? I'll have you know this was the first time I've been caught and yes I am paying the price and am now acutely conscious of my motoring usage.

    I very much doubt anyone out there who drives a car will not at some stage veer close to or breaking a speed limit somewhere in the country at some poin in their lives...rushing to get to work, going to hospital because your wife is going into labour etc....

    I will not be the first and will not be the last....

    So what exactly WAS your excuse for being 2/3 over the 30MPH limit? Wife in labour, was she?

    If you keep biting then people will keep prodding.

    Probably not as the OP asked about buying a car nearly 2 years ago - hopefully they found something by now.....mind you the other thread you resurrected was over 7 years old, so good job.
