........and you didn't realize you where doing 150, then, just under double the speed limit
we all drive on this board, I've had some pretty fast performance vehicles
and to say I didn't realize I was doing twice the limit or nearly 150, doesn't jive

I can see people wondering 10-20 over, in inadvertently, but you put your foot down or left it ...

15over or 49 over regardless of points is still considered the same as far as your insurance is concerned,
it will be classed as a minor offence (GENERALLY) you may fine a 5%-10% surcharge over 3-5 years
depending on your insurance company and how loyal you are.

1st offence is not going to be a problem, problem is, when you get TWO or THREE

I think the days of getting mass payouts from insurance companies, for what I would call "a bump and roll" are over, they want good proof before they even payout.

I spoke to my insurance last year about coverage and we had a good conversation about liability, suing and accident damage payouts
very interesting

don't forget to "get" thoes 10k bills you probably need the following

* Corroborating witness's
* Doctors to confirm she is injured (enough to warrant that kind of a payout)
* Time of work (if your that badly injured)
* Doctors notes for pharmacutecals - pain killers etc
* Chiro proof of appointments
* Time of work for trial
* Lawyer

IF this is ...

You where doing a 170kmph, and you didn't realize it ?

did they arrest / impound your car and give you an on the spot suspension

I hear you, I can't go into details,but
I had a "meeting" with the police a few years back, they first didn't tell me they where the police, they rang me Friday afternoon and LEFT a fricckin voice mail on my cell.
They HAD known about this since the morning, (leaving it so I didnt have time to think)
They just came across as being "hi my name is ...

I'm not sure about the rest of your questions, but maybe for the benefit of other people who are reading this

1> If you have to go to a police station to make a statement, go lawyered up, Police are not your friends, they wanna lock you up and or charge you, despite being innocent unless otherwise proven
it usually works the other way, don't ...

nice one otd ;)

Will you be using the Thruway between Buffalo and Rochester? If so, that's one of the most heavily patrolled sections. State Troopers do not give much leeway there. I've heard they'll pull drivers over at only 75 mph (120 km/h). You should probably stick to what the people with New York plates are doing. Also, if you see a lot of ...

sitting on the fence <mode>

If I where a baker, I'd get to take a few odd loaves home at the end of the shift
If I worked in a bar, maybe I'd get to take a bottle or some left over bar snacks

If I was in a job which allowed me to speed Legally ... Think I'd do that < tongue in cheek mode>

you got it

txs buddy,
not sure of the route yet (going in April)
I have cruise control and use it often,
do 100 on the 401 plenty, despite pi$$ing off other LAW BIDING drivers

if on duty "and" on a call, if off duty and pursuing a criminal,
presumably not if there late to pick up there laundry or get the office coffee run ;)

and also because it safe for them to do it, because, they are highly trained drivers and able to cope/deal with high speed persuits

"The family of a five-year-old boy ...

It's a bit sad, although I understand the "letter of the law" but moving a cellphone, pluggin it in when stopped or pulled over, popping a chocolate in your mouth, is totally different from someone holding a phone to the head and talking?
or even texting, totally understand it's dangerous and distracting

But surely just pluggin it in, or moving it ...

in the UK, some people got done for eating, under distraction laws.
basically anything OTHER than driving could cause a distraction.

A phone more so, due to the way it effects your brain (proved)
eating or talking not so, but if your not in full control of your car
then your distracted

Just out of curiosity, what about peeling a banana at a ...

dashcam ...........

I gotta get me one soon

why oh why oh why do they say that, it's blatantly not true, if I had a $ for every post I saw where an LEO told a motorist "it won't effect your insurance" I'd be rich,

it MAY not, chances are it will, an LEO cannot make that call or give that advise, I wish they would stop.

Apparently I was driving 80 but the officer was nice and reduced it ...

YIKES !
well bringing mrs.bobajob, so hopefully we wount be so screwed ; lolz

Good plan........doing something to get your licence seized out of your home area becomes very expensive. I pulled over an American who was traveling far in excess of ...

txs hiway, sentiments exactly,

Of course, this doesn't negate the victim's ability to still sue the 'uninsured' person personally. So, a person could go after the defendant's personal property, assets, and future income including retirement pension income. Its costly litigation but a great way to ensure the selfish fool who chose not to get ...

ahh ok cool,

do the RLC here flash? in the UK, you get 2 flashes

ok txs, very helpful,

no my car is analog and only marked in km's it does have cruise control, so I can set it in km or mph,
but it doesnt show, only when setting the disappears

Planning on going to the US (NY from TO) for about a week, next year;
so some questions and points,

1> Do I need to get special cover from my insurance
2> My car speedo is in KM's , would it help to put a couple of stickers to note where the MPH limits are
3> IF I get a ticket, do I have to go back to NY, to deal with it?

just wondering, what happens if I get hit or a love one gets killed or maimed or seriously injured, by a person who drives "knowingly" with no insurance, and on a suspended license,

I found a lot of sources on line, for both cases
but I'm sure we can't posts links, nor cut and paste all articles..
anyway the info and stats are on line

The evidence shows that it reduces injury collisions. Just because you repeat the mantra enough that speeding doesn't hurt anyone doesn't make it true. A collision at 60 kms/hr compared to a collision at 30 kms/hr is safer for everyone concerned.

The speed cameras in the UK absolutely have slowed the traffic down which is exactly the result ...

"But the RAC Foundation, which carried out the study, believes some of the cameras appear to be causing accidents rather than preventing them.
They have now written to seven local authorities warning them of the 21 suspect cameras their areas.
And they say that, because only a third of speed-camera partnerships ...

sorry not true, 50+ brit here, and that's simply not true
since the introduction of speed cameras, driving is more dangerous,
people speed UP to the camera then slam on there anchors.

speed limits on some spots have "suddenly" changed and cameras put up

it's a taxation for the government, stats have shown, little to no improvement in road safety ...
