Ah but of course - you're a member of the "speed doesn't kill" and the "hitting people at increased speeds doesn't increase the chance of death" crew.

Theres a lot of us. If I hit someone at 90 rather than 70 im pretty sure he will be dead either way

If speed does kill, then my corpse really ought to hurry up and stop twitching....

BUT the shocking thing is I have to pay for the STAMP to send my license back to them !! :eek:

Best i can find is this but it covers SP60's that are being dished out instead of SP30's. SP60 apparently on average give a greater increase in your premium. I can't find anything to suggest there is even a difference between SP30 or SP50, a LOT of people have them now days. The more popular (want of a better phrase) they are the less they should effect your premium i would imagine.

I think if i had to choose i'd rather have the SP50 i think, i'd rather speed on the motorway than in a built up area if you understand me? They may look at it that way? :Shrugs:

Thanks for your comments...

Too late now as I have contacted them - oh well lesson learnt whatever the hike in premiums.

Since it happened I have stuck to the speed limit... driving is now a bit boring but im sure ill get used to it and if it is safer for everyone then that has to be a good thing.

Cant help but feel guilty though on a big stretch of road which has a 30 limit which really should be 40. The queue of cars behind makes me feel like a twit (amend the letter "i")...

Hey ho..
