So you have never driven at 38 in a 30 then? You will be part of a very small minority if you havent.

Doing 38 in a 30 limit is when you are offered an awareness course below that you'll probably get away with it!He was doing 38 in a 30 for one of them.
Hardly a drama on its own, but according to the article he was driving when banned, which is a far more serious problem. We all speed but I think far fewer would drive when banned.
EDIT Ignore that, looks that whilst he is banned they all happened prior to the ban.
So 65mph in a 50mph, no doubt the A127 and 38 in a 30. Im sure most of us have done that.

That's a bit unfair, as I saw him break in to a jog against BlackpoolShame he doesn't use cruise control on the road and a bit more speed on the pitch instead of other way round.
I would argue that doing 38 at certain times of day or night was safer than doing the speed limit at others like 3 o'clock in the afternoon outside a school! I will drive to the conditions and surroundings, Even at 20 could be too fast on some occasions (Southend seafront). Can't be compared to drink driving!Just like drink-driving eh?
so if you out of work and earning nothing ,you fine is nothing.Or retired and no earnings ,no fine:smile:Salary has to be disclosed now because fines are set at a proportion of your weekly wage. I don't think overtime and bonuses are taken into consideration, just the basic weekly salary net of tax and NI.
From the papers at the time the new rules came in...
All of the bands have a starting limit, which is a percentage of your weekly income. However, this can be increased or decreased depending on the circumstances, which are explained below.
The starting point for a Band A fine is 50pc of weekly income but this could vary between 25pc and 75pc. For Band B offences fines vary between 75pc and 125pc.
The most serious offenders who are hit with a Band C fine will be charged 150pc of their relevant weekly income, which could rise to 175pc or fall to 125pc.
The fine is capped at £1,000, or £2,500 if you're caught speeding on the motorway. The charges are calculated based on your income after tax and national insurance deductions.
Anton's offence carries a Band A tariff so he got a standard fine based on a disclosed weekly wage of £690.
It's hardly once in a while is it, FOUR times caught in a short period of time. If you are caught that often it suggests to be that you are driving too fast most of the time. I would even question if he knew a ban was coming up and spoke to his solicitor who told him "don't worry your ban will run concurrently if you get caught again" and he has decided not to give a damnEverybody is guilty of a heavy foot once in awhile, even if accidentally. Some people really need to get off their high horse.

Probably on a basic of that +
£1000 for a clean sheet
A good season and heavily involved equals big money
