OK I know what a dickhead - must have been a speed trap and not a fixed camera because I've got a Geodesy sat nav detector.

On the nice big open A5 in Wales. And I live in Cambridge - Great.

1. Any ideas on the length of the ban? 1 month or 3 or more.

2. Can I have my car on the drive at home uninsured?

And I've heard abouth the not signing the NIP thing - really doubt thats going to work and will just piss the magistrate off. So I'm just going to take it.

Cheers

P.S I've already got six points.......I know I know.....

40mph in a 30 back in 99 and 58mph in a 50 this year.

The offence from 99 won't count towards the "12 and you're banned" as it's more than 3 years old.

Sensible thing to do would be to accept the charge and be a very very good boy in court. Also, saying that driving is vital to your livelyhood goes a long long way.

Might I suggest you get rid of that useless Geodycrap and get yourself a decent detector & diffuser. You could also be really naughty and get a jammer!!

And to top it off I've got a big fat lip from a bunch of pickeys last night - ****ers! Was only eating my chips!

And now I've got the work summer BBQ this afternoon.

Nice

For the fitness freaks of us - how long does it take to cycle 12 miles when relaively fit.

depends on the terrain. (hills etc) on the flat I recokon you'd be looking at about 45 minutes - 1 hour.

What the Fvck is that? They did you for that. Thats just not on.

As fot the police helicopter, a stinger missile usually helps.

58 in a 50?

You should have seen the road.
Wide, open dual carriageway, no junctions in the vacinity.

Unlucky mate,

It may be worth getting some sort of legal representation. You're probably looking at a short ban and a fine, so for the sake of a few extra £££'s it might lessen the blow with a switched-on solicitor on the case.

best of luck,

Alg;)

Wella continuous 18mph on an MTB on the flat is easy enough. I've never had a road bike (often meant to) but I'm sure they cruise at 24 easily?

If your fit I reckon 30 mins at most.

Used to cycle 10 miles across Glasgow to my girlfriends best time was just under 20 mins though I was a skinny fit freak then, now I'm not skinny or fit:D
