    3 points plus £60 fine normally, but this depends on how much above the limit you are. I think that is for up to 10mph above the limit, the penalties go higher the faster you go I think.

    Why do you feel you need to give us a running commantry on you life? We ain't interested on which grounds you have tickets for, where you are heading next etc.

    The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points. Your fine and punishment will depend on how fast you were driving and how much you earn. There are three bands: http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/cars/article/speeding-tickets-explained

    The post he created about the German cup fixtures was my personal favourite. 17 replies on it, all from himself. German football on a Barnsley forum? Who gives a ****.

    Enough to stop narcissists thinking it's funny when they're caught endangering the lives of others, I expect

    Funnily enough, it's a thread of fixtures released which have helped other posters, so obviously somebody gives a ****. Go **** yourself, you absolute moron.

    What about this thing about the fine being a percentage of your wage, or was that just pie in the sky?

    It looks like a decent stadium to visit, only heard good things about it.

    Unfortunately I have to wait until February to experience it!

    Is that all you get 40 euro in fines? Wish the uk was a bit more stringent

    I got caught doing 36 mph in a 30mph zone and received a letter saying I would be fined £60 and
    have 3 points put on my licence. There were no other cars in front of me, behind me or approaching me
    on the other side of the road. I went back to see if I could see any signs telling me it was a 30 mph limit.
    There weren't . Back down the road there was a 40 mph sign then a gap in front of the camera and around
    600 yards further on another 40 mph sign.
    I wrote and contested the charge on the grounds there were no signs indicating it was 30mph and as there were
    no other vehicles on the road I did not pose a danger driving at the speed that I was doing.
    They still fined me £60 but instead of applying points to my licence they allowed me to go on a speed awareness course
    which I found very interesting because of changes implemented since I had passed my test a lot of amendments to the Highway Code had been made. I felt I was all the better driving wise for doing that course.
