Wrong defence used?

Perhaps he should have used the local plod 'familiarisation' ploy.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Scraggy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

"A man who drove a motorbike at more than 151 mph on a Telford road was
today banned from driving for 40 days. Simon John Brindley, 31, of Maple
Close, Trench, Telford, was also fined £200 and ordered to pay £34
costs."

I reckon he got off lightly.

Understatement

 

Those ones caught on the Tingewick bypass weren't doing much more than that
(159mph?) and they got prison time.

Maybe he has no money and a large family to support or something (mitigating
circumstances?) as the sentence does seem very light.

But it's still good

 

They were done for dangerous driving, though, not speeding.

Aye, sounds very reasonable.

Ah hah - maybe that's the thing to remember.

JP (where is he these days?) always said never admit to DD for exactly that
reason didn't he?

 

In the middle of a three year stretch for speeding.

 

I'd be dancing with joy if I'd got 40 days ban for 150mph.

 

"More than" - 0.2 more than. What a waste of words.

I saw a newspaper report the other day "More than half a dozen...".

Not lightly but if I was caught doing 151mph I'd settle for 40 days
and £200.
