Caught Speeding

Essex Boy · Dec 13, 2004

Right i know it was stupid doin 75mph in a 30, but i just wanted to know if there was anything i could do to appeal as there is no date on the ticket i was given! It is not an on the spot ticket because of the sheer stupidity of the offence! It happened last monday, so last nite i went to see the filth to hand in my documents for my 7 day wonder and the lady asked when did this happen to make sure i wasnt past the 7 days! Well thats just the thing i said, there is no date!

The law states that you have to be prosecuted within 6 months of a traffic offence...6 months from when???

The lady said (after i asked her if it would be recorded anywhere else), well the officer may have written it down in her pad to which i replied her pad is hers and it not official paperwork

After she had checked all my documentation she tried to take the ticket away, i asked her for a copy and she told me there was no need, i said there is need so can i have a photocopy! So i now have a copy but what is to stop them altering the real thing and sayin that i have altered the photocopy??

hmmm strange, why would they take it off u, its urs

ask on pepipoo.com mate, could be able 2 blag ur way out, see what they say over there to get better advice, 75 in a 30, nevermind, aslong as it wasnt near a school or anything, i know some 30s are safe and stupid 30s

i was lucky to get away with more than that but it was a 40 dual carriageway, + pigs were hiding anyway and i was going 2 fast 2 stop, oops, my private road with my made up speeds limits before any1 moans

Essex Boy · Dec 13, 2004

Lexden Road in Colchester mate, shouldnt really be a 30 to be quite honest!

PJVTS · Dec 13, 2004

oh dear

TheCake · Dec 13, 2004

Whooops.... might wanna get some shower jel instead of soap.....

TheRoninV6 · Dec 13, 2004

75 in a 30 zone you just as well stick a big flashing arrow on top of your car saying im speeding please give me a ticket.

Isnt it an instant ban for that kind of speed in a 30 zone?

You should get a fence to keep the pigs off the road

_Tom · Dec 13, 2004

Thats twice over the limit meaning instant ban.

RobFenn · Dec 13, 2004

I like the way you call the police the filth..you sound like the tw*t to me!

iceblue182 · Dec 13, 2004

what gives you the idea that the pcs pad is hers and it not official paperwork

a pcs notes are admissable in court fool!

TheCake · Dec 13, 2004

I admit to speeding, I admit I have 6 points from speeding... but 75 in a 30. Remind me not to walk home from the pub near your house... jeesus f**king wept.

Its 30 for a reason....

badinvincible · Dec 13, 2004

How fast does 75 MPH feel when a car passes you when you are by the road? f**king bloody quick, if you hit a pedestrian at that speed, theres no coming back man.

MikeC · Dec 13, 2004

i cant say nothing, i did 101 on an empty motorway!

STEAMY WINDOWS · Dec 13, 2004

you want baseball batting for 75 in a 30 zone

Brazo · Dec 13, 2004

Whilst I in no way condone your speeding, quite the opposite, I would be very surprised if a sharp lawyer couldnt get it thrown out on a technicality, I doubt there are any sharp lawyers on here so get your corn out and treat your sen!

Roamer · Dec 13, 2004

sorry, but speeding in a 30 zone is stupid and you deserve the consiquences - if you had killed someone youd be looking at a stretch inside for that, but as it goes itll be either high points and a hefty fine or a 56day+ ban.....

live and learn... 30 zones are there for a reason, next time you could have someones blood on your hands.

Chris1.4RT · Dec 13, 2004

Grow up you fu**ing pr**k and cop the charge.

75 in a 30 is absolutely absurd. Dont give me any of this safe to speed in this particular 30 bull. 30 generally means pedestrians are about.

Its pr**ks like you we see on the news who only get 1 year in the slammer for killing someone.

I HOPE THEY SCREW THE F**K OUTTA YOU!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

HO HO HO!!!

(Incidentally, yes I sometimes speed but never in a 30. Plus, Id cop the charge.)

Rajk · Dec 13, 2004

you can get off the ticket, have you surrendered your driving licence? was this a fixed penalty notice or just the regular producer(hort1) with no date? if it is a fixed penalty notice you can get awat with it, but if it is a producer your fecked!

Yeah but thats no where near as bad as 75mph in 30mph zone.

75mph in a 30mph zone is 2.5 times the speed limit, for you to do that MikeC youd have to be doing 175mph on a Motorway....

Munson · Dec 13, 2004

75?

Pedestrian - Theyre DEAD and in several pieces + plus youll crash and be DEAD.

Parked CAR - Youre DEAD.

Oncoming car doing 30 - 105mph closing speed - everyone DEAD.

Carnage...Im lost for words that someone would openly post about this and entertain the idea of getting off. You sir, need banning for LIFE. You are a danger behind the wheel of a car and always will be be. A slight clip or mistake at those speeds in a residential area would have sent your 1ton+ weapon tumbling down the street like a bouncing bomb.

Fcuking idiot.

Mitchy · Dec 13, 2004

75 true mph.

80 on the speedo

You deserve a ban mate, thats stupidity.

Final Maxim · Dec 13, 2004

doh! hope it gets thrown out mate, weve all done silly things, just your turn to get caught i guess. Will teach you in future

Turkish · Dec 13, 2004

Id be interested to know what the highest speed some of you lot have done in a 30. Remember there are 30 roads and "30" roads. For example there is a stretch of dual carridgeway in my town that was for ages a 70 and is now down to a 40, its not in a residential area, its has no paths either side, there is a central armco between each carridgeway and there is no way it should be a 40 but it is. Yes 75 in a 30 is excessive but this could have been 3am totally deserted stretch of road in a non residential area and im sure plenty of those of you getting on your soapbox have done similar or at least broken the limit by a fair amount on a familiar stretch of road. If hes done it outside a school at 330pm then he deserves his balls cutting off but i think it needs to be taken in context before making too many judgements. Not big not clever and will probably land the boy in the sh*t, but all of us here have broken the speed limit on a regular basis so i dont feel we are in much of a position to judge.

Final Maxim · Dec 13, 2004

i dont endorse speeding, i hit 85 ina 30 in my xr2i.

nothin to be proud of, ide just bought it n seein what it was like.

i agree theres a time and place to do these speeds and 30 zones aint it.

but i also aint gonna sit here and critisize this bloke when all of the people on this site break the speed limit everyday

gunnergibson · Dec 13, 2004

A policemans pocket note book as someone mentioned earlier, is admissable in court. It is good practice to write in your pocket note book, registrations and details of offences..however it will probably be the case that this officer may have not. Another thing is sometimes the carbon copy does not come thorugh, so it may be still on the officers original.

yes you have 6 months as an officer to complete your Road traffic file.

if the officer ammended the ticket he would risk a hell of a lot...

what were you clocked doing 75 on?? his visual on speedo? or on board cameras? if it is the latter then you dont really have much chance, because the tape will have been exhibited as evidence.

going at that speed in a 30 may impose a short jail sentance..

Chris1.4RT · Dec 13, 2004

Yeah Loony, but doing 75 in a 30 even at night, when theres no one around will cause some serious damage should you have to swerve for anything. Youll end up rolling the car into someones house. Even if you kill only yourself, theres the hassle of scooping up all your bits.

I got caught doing 42 in a 30 back in 1998. 3 points £40 (at the time). I rarely go above 35 now in a 30, which granted still isnt right. 75 mph is lunacy.

Yeah Ive done 100+ on the motorway (rare). Everyones going the same direction, no pedestrians, crossings, lights, junctions etc.

Its my bet that this guy has done that sort of speed many times before as I doubt it was the first time he did it that he got caught.

Btw I see the http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=123601registration on your car...

I bet thats what Bubba will say as he bends you over in the nick...

(I am a p*** taking b****rd!!)

clio__chris · Dec 13, 2004

^^^^^^^ all of above - firm, firm but fair

hope u dont get out of it as it will teach u (i hope!!)

Turkish · Dec 13, 2004

im not condoning it im just saying everyone is slating the poor sod when they have probaby done similar. Ive been to a few cliosport related events and people have driven like complete c*nts. I prefer to save fast driving for a country road late at night on my own not in the daytime somewhere where there is traffic a convoy of other similar cars and too much testosterone and bravado present. I think the context needs to be known before people jump down his throat. Not a good thing to do but people make mistakes the main thing is no-one was hurt and hopefully he will learn from it.

One word - Bullsh*t.

There are plenty of roads where the 30 limit seems a bit harsh but we all show some degree of sense. Sometimes it can be a struggle to stick to the limit in these zones and its easy to stray to 35 or maybe even 40 at a push. However, its not really that hard to show some restraint, and frankly, doing 75mph in a 30mph zone makes you a total ***t, period. Its not even open to debate.

Turkish · Dec 13, 2004

This is a discussion forum so it is. Fact of the matter is 5/10mph shouldnt be seen as any more acceptible than 40mph over the limit, weve all seen the advert where the car doing 35 in a 30 hits the kid where it would have stopped in time if it was doing 30, everyone is as guilty as the next for speeding.

Munson · Dec 13, 2004

LOL ok. A driver that normally tries to stay safe, strays over the limit slightly - versus one that thinks hes a genius and can drive at above the national speed limit in a 30 zone...this is the same thing? Hahahaa!

Turkish · Dec 13, 2004

If this was a discussion about being caught over the limit for booze no-body would be arguing that "well i only drink twice the legal limit and you got caught 4 times over so you are a c*nt" there shouldnt be any difference between 5 or 40mph its still illegal and its more dangerous than travelling at the limit. Smaller breaches of the limit shouldnt be rationalised away because its still illegal. If none of us have ever gone over the speed limit then we are in the position to pass judgement, but weve all broken the limit to one extent or another so we arent IMO.

Munson · Dec 13, 2004

The difference between 30-35 is likely to be a lot more injuries, and a higher chance of death to those involved. At 75mph everyone will DIE...DEAD...get it? EVERYONE involved will die.
