Be thankful you got off so lightly.

Looks like you could be a lucky fella. I once got pulled for 98.5 on a deserted dual carriageway at 6.00 am on a Sunday. FPN and 3 points only. I guess I must have reacted in the right way too. It was dark, which was pretty daft of me. I've been more sensible since...

I suspect plod is decent about this sort of thing if driving not diabolical and attitude test passed. The only time I was ever seriously pulled for speeding I had seen 115 a couple of minutes earlier, so must have been well over 100. The A Team on the M40 (Hi fellas!) said it had clocked me at 88. This was a while back as they were in a Rover SD1. If they give you a fixed penalty it isn't likely they will have entered a speed liable to get you banned in the paperwork.

Buy a lottery ticket your luck is in. A FPN at 110. 105 is a Ban. Produce your document quickly they may retain your licnece there an then so take your cheque book. Take the points and hope no one comes back at you with a DD charge. as has happened on reports on the Pepipoo.com site. Regards Peter

.. Got pulled doing 110 on the M1 today, the policeman said they'd recorded me doing up to 115 at one point. ..
i seem to recall that ben (perleman) has a liking for fast cars, and did a forum search to see what car he drives. that proved that he does like speed; quotes from some of his previous threads:
I've fallen in love with the idea of getting a porsche 928.
I'm seriously tempted by a Ferrari 348.
I need something a bit flash with a bit of poke
I put my foot down (was going at about 85 in 5th) and to my horror, the 106 kept gaining on me - I had to drop to 4th and accelerate to 120ish before he couldn't keep up / gave up.
The cars I've thought about are:
BMW M3 E46 ('01 ish) -- worried about losing value now new shape is due
BMW Z4 ('03) --
A4 Conv 3.0 / 3.0 quat ('02-'03) -- doesn't look that fast on paper (7.6s 0-60)
Boxter S ('00 ish) --
Other considerations (where running costs scare me):
Maseratti 3200 ('99 ish)
Merc CL500 ('01 ish)
BMW M5 ('01 ish)
so what car was ben perleman driving when caught speeding?

When you take
" was genuinly appologetic & regretful, . . . . , but I still think I had the luckyest escape ever. Lesson learned."
With
"I put my foot down (was going at about 85 in 5th) and to my horror, the 106 kept gaining on me - I had to drop to 4th and accelerate to 120ish before he couldn't keep up / gave up."
It gives a different message to the original post on its own.

"but I still think I had the luckyest escape ever."
My sister could beat that, she got pulled over on the M1 in the late 1970s in the early hours, plod not only let her go, but also asked her out on a date .

So that's where I've been going wrong... ;)
