My Mrs. was caught by a peeler with a speed camera last night on a stretch of dual carriageway, I can't seem to weedle out of her how fast she was going or what the speed limit is on that stretch of road. She thinks she was possibly doing between 70 and 80 so it's probably more like 80-85 while overtaking, if she has been nabbed and assuming it's a 70mph speed limit is it normally just 3pts and a £60 fine? She's concerned her insurance will sky rocket (we only pay £220 a year at the moment fully comp). And before the anti-speeding brigade crack their knuckles I know it's her fault and she has been told.
How many points/fine?

Yeah if it was just a hand held speed gun they would have to do you there and then.
No problem, she did say that she couldn't see this dudes car and despite keeping a lookout didn't see any cop cars further down the road either, knowing her it probably wasn't even the police.
Found out just now she's still has her license registered at our old address (nearly 4 years old) now, I casually mentioned that she could end up with a £1000 fine if she ever get's a producer but it fell on deaf ears. Women pfft.

Out of curiosity is she's ok if you blow at least 1k on a new pc etc but goes off on one if you buy brand name Cola by any chance ? I love female logic
She'd never know if I spent £1000 on a new PC
She did however find out that I blew over 2 grand on a pair of decks/mixer/vinyl, that didn't go down well.Scuzi said:Check out the 'Legal & Road Safety' forum on www.jon44w.com/forum
There are a few peelers from Derry who post in there, they might be able to give you a bit more info. You never know, the peeler who caught your wife might even post there
Grand job, I'll have a look later.
