    Speeding in the UK

    Are you guaranteed a fine if you did a 120 mph drive on the highway ? Man , I start to feel sympathy for all Porsche , etc drivers sitting there in the cokkpit and swearing at each speed sign - 30 - 40 - 30 -40 .... At least they can enjoy the acceleration ...

    Over 100 mph is a ban.

    It is never safe to have huge variations of speed on different lanes - 120 mph vs 60 mph in lorries is a huge delta that is very deadly.

            According to a traffic officer I know, 100 is not an automatic ban, but you have to be damn good at explaining why you were doing it and why you need your licence to escape one.....

              Not if you are a copper...

              Though I have to say I was pleased to read that coppers stopped unmarked car of Straw when he was Home Officer minister and his driver almost got banned.

                What happens if I tell them: "I got this new car and wanted to see what it can do. Will never happen again. I promise."

                My question is more like: Do they ALWAYS catch when you speed . Any chance they won't bother with every speeder ..

                  Look buddy, the cops heard it all: all excuses you can possibly think of, including made up stuff designed to make them laugh to let you off - if get caught speeding past 100 mph you are screwed. You should not be doing this anyway - if you are suicidal then go find a way to kill yourself without endangering lifes of other people.
