Are you zedless cueball? Sounds like youve got quite the toy collection, pics?
I still have the zed for now... it's gone in 2 weeks...
the current fleet is the RS6, S8, Cherokee, Fairlady Z, and ninja ZX12R
pics all over the place!

Not from me, not big and not clever, we all do it occasionally but why broadcast.
Spoke to the lawyer that Cueball suggested today .....
first advice he gave was .... take anything the Polis said at the roadside with a pinch if salt, you have no idea what you will be charged with till the letter comes through the door .... could be 2 to 3 months .....
then he made the comment that my local court is well worse than glasgow apparently .....
as it was a laser radar thing and not a pursuit, he doesn't see much point in trying to contest it .... not that Im contesting it anyway ..... his advice was .... if its just the speeding, plead guilty and take the heat ....
pretty much what I had planned on doing anyway
interesting stuff Ive dug up ..... fines on a motorway are more than twice that on a rural road and, now they gave something called RWI which links the fine to your income ..... and he said don't be surprised if it carries a ban
well fecked then lol ...... think Ill just have a beer and catch a DVD ....

You should go for a drive while you still can! Save the beer and DVDs for the summer since you'll have nothing else to do
Just a thought - why not take a Norwegian driving test during one of your work trips there. You might get away with using that to drive in the UK if you are banned.

As far as I know .... banned in the UK means just that, no matter what licence you have.

Very sobering m8 & slightly regretful that you admitted your speed.
I was always advised to say you were overtaking & paying 100% attention to the road, not the speedo. Reasoning for this (as advised by my retired Traffic officer in law) was that the Highway Code states when overtaking to do it as quickly as possible - it does not stipulate it has to be done within the speed limit. Not a foolproof argument, but a technicality to say the least

When I was stopped by the unmarked car mentioned earlier, I said I didn't know my speed as I wasn't looking at the speedo. I was told I was driving without due care and attention...!
I don't know if a UK ban includes not being able to drive on a foreign licence too. My only experience is through the mother of a girlfriend I had at at school. She never got a UK licence and drove on her NZ licence (but had to leave the UK every three to six months or so to do so). She had fifteen points (and therefore a ban) on her non-existent UK licence and just kept driving at whatever speed she liked and paid the fines. I suspect if you have got a UK licence with a ban that will override your right to drive on any foreign licence.
