If, and when, you finally get pinged it's simply a case of paying the fine, and taking the points.

Shouldn't go any further than that..... I know some Posties worry they'll get the sack. Been there... Done that.

Someone in my office had to pay to go on a speed awareness course after getting flashed by a speed camera whilst driving a RM van

Not the end of the world. An indicated 38 is probably nearer 34 or 35. Depends on your area but in most that's an invitation to a speed awareness course.

He might not have been looking at you, or he might have been drying his hair! Just wait and hope for the best. Very worst scenario is £100 and 3 points.

Maissymoo, yes plenty of friends thanks. It you think that it is acceptable to be going over the speed limit by so much, then that's up to you. When you see a kid lying in a white coffin, looking like their just sleeping but will never ever wake up again.........well it kinda changed your perspective on things.

You should be done. What if the police van that you didn't see until the last minute was a kid. They wouldn't stand a chance and you were obviously driving in a built up area of the speed limit 30. No mate you deserve to get points at least. It's not as if your one of two mph over your 24% over the limit.
bit harsh wonder if you have any friends ? saying that after that post probably none on here

Not really harsh from Navalron, but a bit pedantic from yourself. He’s right, if you’re speeding, you should get points or at least a speed awareness course.

Whilst loads of people speed, the severity isn’t understood until it’s too late. Questioning whether he has friends is childish.
A speed limit is there for a reason. I’m no saint, I’ve been caught speeding 3 times in 30 years, rural roads, no-one else around but still speeding. I took the points for the first 2, the awareness course a few years ago. I’ve reassesed my driving speed following the course.

You can’t jusge someone for following the law.
