WigsVR6 0 Posted January 30, 2010 By the way how much is a speeding fine these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 30, 2010 By the way how much is a speeding fine these days? Do you mean the fine itself or the total costs involed? I.e. The increase in insurance if you've got a collection of tickets..... Though from memory if you are lucky your insurance will not load your policy for a SP30. But it's still embarassing to have to admit to points when you get insurance quotes for the next few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimjed 0 Posted January 30, 2010 nothing embarrasing about an sp30 in my opinion £60 and 3 points i think. but they want to double it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted January 30, 2010 when i was caught i was doing 39 in a 30 but because it was under 10mph over the limit (if that makes sence) i was able to pay £90 have no points but do a speeding course for a day (which btw had the best buffet ive ever seen :lol:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PROVR6 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Its a £60 fine when I got one last a while ago. Generally 3 points will not affect your insurance premium, six points will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fla 9 Posted January 31, 2010 they should have offered you £95, no points and you having to attend a Speed Awareness workshop. At least it keeps the points of your licence, although as mentioned above, its hardly not a money making scam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
