Bobbeh Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 on there own it isnt. there must be at least 2 officers for a visual estimate. Afraid not. How many more times do I have to say this One cop got me, made up what I said to him afterwards and of the whole nights events, but we wont go into that now. It all stood up in court as fact for the prosecution sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobAce Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 is your car a j-spec cos i read and artical about a bloke in a linner who got clocked at 130 and got off cos he said that being a jap import it woz limited to 112, so he said the speed sensing equip must be faulty (not sure if it ture or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Afraid not.

Bobbeh Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Er I did take it to crown court, get it into your head - nothing is set in stone really. I agree with the limiter idea. But if the guy hasnt got you on a speed he can only say 'above 110' and thats what you'll get done for. Did you tell him what you were doing?

Andy Supra Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Same thing happened to me in my Turbo ZR. If it's summons you've most likely lost your license. 2 options when it arrives. 1... plead guilty to the charges listed. 2... plead not guilty, then the court will be provided with any evidence such as video etc, and the police officers in question will attend court. I paid £850 on a solictor and it wasn't really worth it, I got 28 days and £250 fine. I also proved I needed my car for work and got managers to write notes to state I did.

Andy Supra Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 do they not have to track you for a mile and get your average speed...? On my summons it stated I was doing 108mph for 0.3miles. Now if your going that speed how long does that take. As it was i'd been doing over 130mph foolishly but excepted the 108mph and got a ban... I came up with a story and everything and even made the papers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Haha nice one, mine didnt even make the papers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Supra Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thats the thing, my car really did have £6000 damage done and I did get death threats but they didn't give a damn. Why? Because i'm not a high profile famous person (yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Sorry to hear this mate. We've all done it (well most of us anyway), good luck to you but I fear the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
