I need to teach the SO how to use her mirrors.

She's just been nicked for 100mph on the A11 dual-carriageway just
outside Wymondham in Norfolk. At the time she was undertaking a slow
moving car that she'd approached a bit too quickly. Apparently the
traffic car that stopped her had been following her for some distance
and she hadn't noticed it. Unluckily for her a cute smile and a bit of
charm didn't work because the copper who nicked her was female too.

I suppose she's looking at a ban.

 

Gutted. did the copper note the speed on the NIP, or, just "Excess on
the motorway"?

She got a producer ticket with the speed noted on it, they said she'd be
reported for the speeding offence. Why they couldn't have called it
99mph and saved her the possibility of a ban I will never know.

 

Because it was a cat fight. Women are surprisingly nasty to each other.

 

Well because she is obviously a wreckless dangerous criminal who must be
punished. Or maybe the copper didn't get laid recently.

Female copper, make your own mind up.

 

It's actually 26mph over the limit for a potential ban - she'd have had to
have knocked the speed down by a fair bit (well, for 5mph values of 'fair').

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo belched forth and ejected the following:

Tough shit.

Being female is no excuse for getting away with something you'd get
nicked for if you were a bloke.

 

its 96 for a court appearance aint it ?

 

IIRC, it was 97. When I got done on the M5 about 5 years back it was
explained as:

71-85: Can't be bothered, too many people.
86-96: 3 point FPN
Then *approximately*
97: 4 points
98: 5 points
99: 6 points
100+ Kiss your licence goodbye for a bit.

I was pulled doing 97.6 mph, so could have expected to get 4 points. I
pleaded student poverty in the magistrates court, grovelled and told them
I'd seen the erro of my ways, booked myself onto an advanced riding course
etc etc. In the end I got 5 points, but only £110 fine, which I thought was
a bit of a result.

 

Quite possibly for the 100mph they have recorded , and the magistrates won't
like the undertake as well.

 

It happens that Lozzo formulated :

Oh how sad for the poor girl.
I might have a CG125 for sale soon if she would like something less
powerful assuming she don't get a ban.
Then again maybe she should have gone to Specsavers

 

Eh? dunno where you get that from, but it always used to be that
courts were advised to consider a ban for +30mph over the limit. And
it's not automatic, as I and others who've 'got away' with 100+ can
testify.

It's all to do with speeding motorists being on the same level as
terrorists, but easier to get money out of.
