at the end of the day you got caught out so just be a man about it & suck it up & take what they give you,

if they give you the chance of a fine & a speed awarness course instead of point's then go for that as it's a lot less hassle.

i won't go off on one about this as i've been a bad boy & done it my self & paid the cost for it.

like has been said before we all drive above the limit from time to time & we all know that sooner or later we'll get caught as it's one of the risks we take.

any way tim let us all know how you get on, good luck & finger's crossed the beak is in a good mood lol.

If its a white coloured NIP then its £60 3 points.

I got caught in my 328i sport in June, clocked at 82 in a 70. First time in 18 years of driving so i was a bit pi$$ed off!!

we all speed now and again
So you drive like dickheads so we all do?

******* morons!

Love how you stick up for it, but I've seen other 'newbs' being condemned for saying how they speed down a dual carriage way at night.

There is nothing clever about it and when it affects you personally then you might take a different view on it.

EDIT: This is my last post on this topic, I don't think anyone here is in agreement with me. I stick by what I've posted anyway.

I save stupid driving for track days, living near goodwood helps.
Don't call me a fucking moron because I agreed with someones statement and then said we all speed now and again.
Can you say you've never done 34 in a 30 or 45 in a 40? I don't agree with BMlover's consistant speeding and he deserves his points and fine.
You self righteous little cock.

i am struggling to think how 25% over the limit is causeing people to die., or being a dikhead.
my mum speeds . i followed a police car to the pig station at over 34 mph in a 30, i was inside a german police car at over 60 kph in a 40kph . i follow most traffic at over the speed limit, and even busses speed. (public transport) SPEEDING

does that mean the whole world is full of killers

i thing you are asuming that e30bmlover is the kinda guy that drive in 5th flat out at 3;10 down school roads with the music up.

or is he the guy that nails it down the slip road over takes you and then sits in the out side lane . but following any old person that is sitting at 80 odd. like most people do . how much more dangerous is this to a "normal" driver .

what i am getting at is . you cant call him all names under the sun , blame him for deaths of friends or family beacuse he said that he speeds and was caught at 25% over the limit .

untill e30bmlover says he does 80 in 30 limit 99.9% of the time hes a normal driver.
if or when he says he cuts people up , skids up to school crossings, tail gates on the out side lane in rushg hour. or overtakes on bends. then even i will call him a pr1ck and deserves what he gets .

Like i said earlier, speed does not kill. Ive been in the back of a police car that has been doing 90 through 30 zones, 2 o clock in the morning in the country side but still...
Also followed a police car on the motorway at 120mph + at 7AM in the morning which id call rush hour due to the amount of traffic on the road

we know speed doesnt kill .

its the mixture of fast and slow that does harm .

slow minded people vs people that can butter there own bread without their mum helping


german autobahn brilliant exsamaple . it works .

the reason is its unrestricted . so there cant be the argument of you were driving too fast

you get people in england speeding and the others just trying to prove a point and getting in the way to slow the others down to be bloody minded

i heard some great statistics about the nurburgring as my friend is a marshal on the ring
the amount of miles driven vs accidents with human harm a year is less that the public roads in germany in the same year
why do you think the german government has not closed it yet ...its a "safe" money maker.
and think how fast peolple drive there . car bikes . new drivers , fast and slow cars . and you still get IQless plonkers there mixing in.

You didn't really expect any less though, did you?! 3 points is hardly the end of the world.


Genuine question, purely out of interest; do you think it'll have any effect on the way you drive?

i also did 245kph on the autobahn. id like someone to try to explain why its considered safe there but not here? 152mph is perfectly ok on a dual carriageway. i wonder what speed you need to do before the germans act all self righteous?
