127 mph on the A40 past Ross on Wye in a Lancia Delta Integrale

A real ticking off by the SW police who got me on Vascar. They did agree I was only a danger to myself as there was no-one at all about.

Only 3 penalty points but a trip to Abergaveny magistrates court was required due to reaching the magic 12 points.

At court the JP noticed all my points were for speeding - he actually laughed, wagged his finger and said 'you're just going to have to slow down young man' = £200 fine and a let off from the ban as I pleaded poverty because a ban would mean losing my job.

btw - this was 1984 when everything seemed so much lighter & easier and you always had a chance to plead your case.

Wouldn't happen now though
