Speeding Tickets

[Wales1234 5,546]

I have done hundreds of thousands of miles all over Britain over my working life and seen some terrible driving.

Speed is normally nearly always the deciding factor in accidents, so I am afraid I have to say I have no f***ing sympathy at all.......because there's no reason for it, in the grand scheme of life 10 or 20 miles an hour may save someone a couple of minutes in their journey but it may also be the thing that wipes out some poor innocent sod.

 

There's an easy way out, slow the f**k down.

Yea I fully understand iv done wrong I'm not trying to justify it !

I think I deserve a punishment yea points and big fine but I don't think I should lose my job and house over a speeding ticket if I was drunk driving and or driving like a idiot and caused a accident yep fine I deserve it but not for speeding and it wasn't as if I was doing 50/60 now a built up area like I said yea iv done wrong I deserve some sort of punishment but not a lose of licence

your are right really wilf, we all took risks , over taking cars,etc and for that extra 5-8 mins being bit late , that extra 15 mile an hour can kill or maim somebody. He is proof to this, my son who is 30 now, when he was 12 he ran across the road to get to his mates, who were skateboarding the other side on a park. now he seen this car he said but did not think it was going as fast, so he took a chance the idiot . the car hit knock him over top of the car he broke his shoulder/ and arm, but that was it, he was lucky it didnt kill him. the bloke was doing 35 mile a hour in a 40 mile zone so he was safe . now the surgeon who done the OP on my son putting pins in shoulder , told me if the driver had done extra 10-15 mile per hour, my son would have been , as the slow impact threw him over the car, a faster car would have gone right into him and killed him. So yes Wilf you are 100% right deff mate i try to keep to speed limits now, what ever the speed zone is , but there are times when in 40 or 50 zone and you get people still drive at 30 , that can cause you to drive to quick just to get past them, but i try not to take risks if i can help it .

I've always wondered about these "speed kills" statements. True, inappropriate speed kills, but these huge generalisations about what would have happened at a different speed don't make any sense. If the driver had been doing 31 in a 40, but braked later or not braked as hard, it would or could have been worse for your lad. Someone doing 40 in a 40 but braking properly might not have hit your son at all. Either way, glad he was ok.

But why no ? your obviously a repeat offender and it seems like the only way to make you slow down is remove your licence

No, I don't think you deserve to loose your house or your job either but come on mate, I have read your posts on here over the years and you don't come across as an idiot, surely you know all this before you get nicked?......its a bit late to cry about it after the fact, if you didn't have the consequences in your mind then you should have done.

Not trying to be a clever c**t it's just the truth I'm afraid.

Anyway, I hope they go lightly on you and it will be lesson learned and you carry on with nothing more than a dented wallet.

In my experience mate people who drive quick always drive quick, you see them on the motorway when it's pissing down and you can't see 200 yards in front and they are still doing 75-85 miles an hour......and fact is almost nobody has the skill and experience to get out of trouble in that situation, I don't care who you are.

They are a f***ing menace.

Definitely I understand what Iv done wrong and will take the consequences trust me lesson learnt I will be much more sensible on the roads ! I think iv sorted it now spoke to a old rugby coach high in the police and he's told me exactly what's the score and think it's gone be 6 points and a fine il take that and move on this being a big lesson

The biggest menace on the roads ATM is the HGVs that go into the back of stationery traffic on the motorways. It seems to be on the news almost daily of similar crashes. A mate of mine had it happen and was lucky to survive. But I agree with you Wilf, if everyone stuck to the limit and took more care there'd be less accidents than there is.

I agree with you mate, you see them hammering along, with 40 ton doing 60 mph about 2 inches from the arse of the motor in front......they should loose their license forever because if it gos boss eyed its carnage.

Lad I used to know, nice lad we got on well, got a new job at a different firm driving trucks.

Had a night out and made plans with another lad to take him out next morning in his new truck.......so out they go, a bit worse for ware and no doubt this lad was giving it big licks up the lane.......he had a nice girlfriend and a new baby at home.

Local farmer pulling out of their drive, dad, mum, 2 kids.......he ran right over their car and killed the whole family.......now this lad knew the lanes well, knew every twist and turn, knew where every drive way was.

So the only conclusion was he was going too quick to stop.....which obviously he was.

 

They give him 9 years and he trys to commit suicide when he was inside a couple of time........few month after his release he managed it.

 

5 people dead and god knows how many lives devastated because one person didn't stop to think "hold it a minute........."

its just another load of old bollacks and how we are all being controlled if you say it enough it must be true and anyone that dares to question it will be hounded, my brother died last year after spending the last thirty years completely paralysed from a car accident when he was 21, the car was a right off but all the other passengers emerged without a scratch, next thing you know people will come on and tell him he deserves everything he gets(wilf) because they have never broken the speed limit despite driving to the moon and back on a daily basis and then next even more rediculous thing is they will give normal citizens there own speed cameras and send them out to catch and grass on there own neibours, oh to late it's already happened, and to Wales 1234 you don't deserve to be penalised to within an inch of your life so grow some bollacks and stop throwing yourself under the bus, you travelled at ten mile an hour over a speed limit imposed upon you while traveling in a straight line, designed to take money from the poor and put it back in the pockets of those that rule over us but never do a days work in there useless life

I agree with all of that, but my point was it is inappropriate speed that kills, not speed in general. There are times when doing 25 in a 30mph zone is far more dangerous than doing in a 70.

 

People that can't differentiate shouldn't be allowed behind a wheel IMO.

[WILF 47,402]

Greyman, I wouldn't wish that on anybody before you start jumping up and and down and I don't know the circumstances so what the f**k bringing me into a conversation about your crippled dead brother is something you feel the need to do is anybodies guess ?!

 

Only you know the circumstances so only you know the truth so don't be telling me what I would say about something like that

Fukc me there are some saints on here lol ... the lad was going a few miles over the limit not racing up and down a busy high street dodging pensioners and babies in prams ... everybody at some time has broken the speed limit and if they say they haven't their liars ... you will get a few points a fine and that will be it ... it's no big deal no crime of the century pay your fine and get on with life ... at a slower pace lol ........
