| I dont think I would increase my speed that much. I use a lot less juice going at 80-85 as normal. Above this and my car drinks it. An increase wouldbe a good thing though, could releave some conjestion. |

| Thats a great help. Anton please can you clarify then does the 6 months go from the date of the offence, or the date I was notified by means of an NIP or by the letter I got from Devon and Cornwall Constabulary back in Sept that stated that the courts would have to deal with it. It wasnt a court sum... |

| Hi, been a while since I last posted. Anyway I got caught on a speed camera back in August last year whilst in Cornwall on holiday. Due to the severity of the offence I recieved a letter saying that the matter would have to go before the magistrates court in Plymouth (or thereabouts). This letter ar... |

| Hey guys thanks for all the replys! Keeping my fingers crossed that I will be accepted on the advanced course. Hopefully if I can tell the judge that I am actively trying to improve my driving skills then he/she may be a little more forgiving. Should get the NIP in the next few days and hopefully th... |

Thanks for that. Pleasantly suprised at the cost. I thought it would a lot more pricey than £85. Think I might go for this!  |

I have done a quick search on this forum but cant find much. Just need info on prices and l... |

| Im back and I also have had time to think. My driving at times has been wreckless and occasionaly dangerous, I have been kidding myself that it hasnt. So the only constructive thing to do is to slow it down and generally improve the standard of my driving, either this or I cant see how Im going to g... |

| Would people please read my post before commenting. For the final time Sixty the Red:- THERE ARE NO CAMERA WARNING SIGNS ON THE A30, THERE ARE NO SPEED LIMIT REPEATERS, IT IS A NATIONAL SPEED LIMIT ROAD. The advice for the most part has been very useful, however there are some on here who sound to b... |

| Stephen, I am not winging and whining. I fully accept that I have been a class A idiot, to the extreme! The first incident I spoke of happened on a road with a 30mph limit. The only reason (and I know for a fact) that this road has a 30 limit is that there used to be a school located on it. It has s... |

| On the basis that I drive safely at all times, im not a wreckless or dangerous driver. Even though I have been caught speeding twice, no-one can say I was driving dangerously/wrecklessly, it depends on your definition of dangerous and/or wreckless. Very light traffic, 2 lanes, dry roads, downhill, c... |

| Thanks for the replys everyone, some useful advice there! a great forum too by the way! Just a couple of things I left out or things I should have made clearer. Firstly Ian H stated that the road could be classed as a single lane carrigway. Indeed it was, this got me confused as I thought that 2 lan... |

| Hi everyone! :) Glad I found this forum as it looks great. Anyway this post is regarding 2 unfortunate experiences I have had in the past month. The first one occured 4 weeks ago on a 30mph limit road, this limit is ridiculous as police reguarly speed down there in excess of 50mph and so do a lot of... |
