46mph on the A50 near Leicester when the limit was 40mph, and going at 78mph along the A43 near Brackley with a temporary 50mph limit
78mph is walking pace for Guy!
They also whacked him with a total of ÂŁ1,329 in fines, costs and victim surcharges.
Court papers show Martin reached at least 12 penalty points on his licence and accepted that he must now serve a six-month driving ban.
FWIW, and I doubt it made any difference in his case, any crash barriers through roadworks are only designed and tested for the lower speed (50 where he was nicked).

If you keep your powder dry for the country roads and behave elsewhere,chances are you'll stay clean.

The met are often down the Embankment with their speed guns. Ita dual carriageway ffs. I could at least understand if they were targeting backroads near schools and shops etc but the Victoria Embankment!asmethurst99 wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 9:49 amI've been done three times for 23 in a 20 - I'm the most mild mannered least speedy person on hereSkub wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 9:13 am Easily done these days.

Norman Stanley Fletcher Smethurst, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual speeder, who accepts points as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts a ban in the same casual manner.
I spent ten years in the 80's as a despatch rider happily zipping along at whatever speed the work level demanded, now I hate going into London, crawling along at snail's pace, I couldn't ride there, the Ducati doesn't like doing 30 let alone 20, noooo.asmethurst99 wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 3:28 pm

Because that's the threshold for nicking!
