I'm glad that's out the way.

After sitting in a court room all day (it closes at 5.00pm), my case was heard at 4.40pm (they must do it alphabetically  :-\  ;D)

?180/$240 fine reduced to ?120/$160 for pleading guillty and only 3 points. The fine was about what I thought, but I was looking at 6 points. So happy enough, to pay it at ?10/$15 a week.

And it was down to the cops that I didn't get a fixed penalty fine.

Yeah, at least it is off your mind now, that is until the basstads stitch you up again.

Out of interest, how much will the 3 points inflate your insurance premium by?

I got the car 3 yrs ago, so the road tax was up on the 30th of June, the insurance was up 12th July and the MOT today.

I didn't tell any lies when my insurance company asked if I had any driving convictions in the last year, I will let you know this time next year.  ;)  ;D

The quote from the AA I had before has went up ?24.

But I can still get fully comp for ?190, the cheapest before was ?160.

So you could say it will go up ?25 - ?30

That cuts both ways.  My last speeding conviction came off under 2 weeks after I had to renew my policy, but they still wanted to charge me ?60 as it was still active.  So I told them my bike would be in the shop for 2 weeks and I'd renew it after finished and it had passed it's MOT and my licence would be clear then.  I also told them it would also give me 2 weeks to look round for a better quote to which they said they could forget the speeding points if I wanted to renew that very day (the bike had been MOT'd  2 months before).

I see your update now and ?25 is nothing to worry about eh?  Do you know my original quote for my bike when I first got it was ?2500.  I managed to get it down to ?600 by lying about its value, and just before it was stolen it was down to ?260 without the speeding load added on.  Living in the smoke can be a madam!!

Aye, I probably over valued it at ?4000 so it might come down a bit.

Still haven't had the bill for the MOT yet and it really needs a timing belt (72,000 or 6 yrs), it's done 74k and it's 6yrs old.

If it was winter I would borrow a leg off the wife's tights and make a withdrawal (it's getting to that stage).  :D

Yes but knowing how dense the cozzers are, they'll ignore the stocking over your head, the sawn-off on the passengers seat, and the bags labelled "swag" in the back..

Boys in Blue.

With the Golf at Turnberry (about 20 miles from me), you can't get moving for them, half the roads are closed or they are so congested you have to take back roads, country lanes and farm roads to get anywhere.

Apparently Tiger Woods was in Ayr yesterday and was surrounded by about 200 cops (so I was told  :-\ )

But it should be good for the local economy. It's 15 yrs from the last time the Open was at Turnberry. Royal Troon is about 20 miles in the other direction.
