It happens to the best of us ??!

[Tahra]

Came home on Friday to my first ever speeding notice :eek: Don't know what is more annoying; that I was done doing a measly 52mph coming over the Kirkliston hill towards Crammond Brig ( an early Saturday morning, blazing siunshine and no traffic ) or that I was driving the tank at the time !!!
If Id know I was finally going to blow my clean license then I would have liked to have been nipping along in Scooby !:D

Guess this might have an effect on my insurance ??

For those other poor souls at work today, werent the deserted roads great ??

[Neil and Lorna]

I agree with you its very annoying.:mad:
I got caught on Soutra Hill with the mobile unit between Lauder and Edinburgh. 77MPH
Not a House,School or anything apart from a wind farm for 3 miles.:(

I don't think 1 speeding offence affects your insurance Tahra, well it didn't with me anyway.

[Heather]

yep happened to me for the first time in october. 8mph over the motorway limit just outside the lake district. It did affect my insurance by 60 bucks. And thats with a a 14 year no claims bonus and no previous convictions. Does make you slow down for a bit:I

[Monsta Mo Mini]

What a bugger! I'd spotted that one a few weeks back. For some reason it and the one that's always parked in the lay-by at Cowdenbeath are only ever operational when there's next to no traffic early on Saturday mornings....EXPLAIN THAT ONE TO US MR MONEY GRABBING HYPOCRITICAL PLOD....

Shouldn't effect the insurance - was it an SP30?

[Willie M]

Bummer, know how you're feeling Tahra :mad:
My 3 points didn't effect my insurance thankfully.
Grrrr. It was all Calum's fault anyway (not that I'm at all bitter about it ;)):D

[Big Col]

Well my 3 points doubled my insurance!

Only kiddin. Didn't do anything. :D

[Tahra]

I nearly fell off the chair Col ! Oh well Ive got till October to find out...its a real pain cos we saw the van in the distance and was starting to slow down ( good job too )But they must have a good clear view up that hill to catch you !

My insurance was due just after I got booked and I phoned around several insurance companies, all said 1 speeding conviction is ok and wont affect your insurance, out of interest just phone and ask them. (they're all very understanding and caring people).
