    Done for speeding....

    Fair cop. It was the Manchester airport tunnels, 50 zone, a very nice policeman in unmarked Audi.

    Was actually clipping early 80's, pretty consistantly around the early 70's.

    3 points and 60 quid fine.

    Manchester police are on a zero tolerance for speeders campaign this week.

    Kicking myself........

    Some government department must be short of money.

      80 in a 50?

      Consider yourself lucky your not looking at a ban.

      I wouldn't call that 'Zero Tolerance'. More like letting heavy footed twonks off when they're taking the piss.

        Unlucky, as escape said, they must be short on cash.

          WHS

          Thought these days it was 6 points or so? Don't think it's ban territory though...

          btw don't speed wilmsy if you get banned in real life too...

            30 over the limit is a ban. I've a feeling the idiot was clocked at the high 70's, he can thank his over reading speedo for the fact he can still drive.

              I was seeing early 80's on the police video display from the comfort of the back seat of his car....

                So you had to do some favours to get out of it with just 3 points?

                Your standards are really falling Wilmsy.

                  Sounds like the Krays. You shook your hand before slitting your throat.

                    When the police tail you like that the speeding has to be sustained.
