Well got flashed at the weekend so just waiting for the summons i guess sucks but cant argue it "dont do the crime if u cant do the time" Good Luck, cos thats a court appearance job. You gonna have to face the beak for that offence. You might not get a short ban neither, you might be looking at 2 years and a re-test. I know of a fella, got caught doing 99mph, got £600 fine and five points, but had never been caught before so worked in his favour, plus he claimed he needed licence for job etc..... Don't think you gonna get away with it. Your only hope is its a fake gatso, one that flashes but has no film.

Frame the speedo or the summons? Either way wouldn't matter I suppose. Sorry to hear it, surely thats a record speed for an XS?

Hope so but with the race cams and chip at the end of summer it's gonna be a complete beast, ultimate goal would be gti power but anything is good to be honest

Jimmy, get over to www.pepipoo.com and take a good long read of the forums (cant miss the very big section), they may be able to point you in the right direction, if not then they can offer invaluable advice on what will happen and what to do. Make sure you ask to see the photo's as you need to check it is your car & not a cloned one (even if you know you were the one caught) they will make every excuse to not show you if they are like the force my mate is getting done by for 106 in a 70. As for scameras, they dont have to be marked. If they are marked and operated by a scamera partnership then they can take a percentage of the fine for themselves, if they are totally unmarked (hidden behind bushes, in tree's, unmarked cars etc) or if it goes to court then they cannot.

www.5ive-o.org/forum/index.php?jimmy, go here, its very informative and is actually modded by policemen who can give u ideas on what kinda punishment u are gonna get, tho not advice on how to get away with it. everyone on forum can also use this for any legal questions that they may have in regards to motor laws and insurance queries!
