    The stupid thing was it was on a stretch of motorway that had the speed limit reduced to 50mph (we call them Contraflows).

    I got busted and received a letter telling that i had been caught by a new (back then) digital camera. Apparently it was a test camera and it had caught hundreds of drivers the same weekend but because it was a "test" they could not prosecute.

    If they had prosecuted it would have been an instant ban and my licence revoked for a few years.

    Not proud.

    105 on the dirt is pretty danged fast. I am building a new dragbike that should go at least 215 mph in the quarter mile, but so far its more dream than reality.

    I can say I have gone faster without a bike than you have gone on yours. I wrecked at 140+ mph this summer on the bike in the picture, and completely separated at that speed.

    Ive been done 4 times for speeding.

    Twice in one week by the same camera doing 34 in a 30 zone. One time was cus i was excited going to Glastonbury festival but forgot my hoody and was going back for it.

    I had 9 points at one time and got caught again. You get banned for having 12 or above but luckily 3 expired by the time the next 3 were applied to my licence. Lucky escape.

    I currently have ZERO points and have not been caught for many years.

    Im not actually a fast driver, ive just been caught going just over the limit each time.

    Thing is though, i hate when people complain about speed cameras and getting fined for doing 3mph over the limit. If you speed and get caught, man up and take the points.

    I am a car guy. Race them, wrench on them, and generally destroy them.
    Math is fascinating to me. I'm an engineering major, so I guess that makes sense.
