I have probably mentioned it before about my one and only speeding conviction . I was driving a Mercedes up the M606 from its junction with the M62. There was a temporary national speed limit of 50 mph due to the effects of the Arab Israeli war. I was in the centre lane doing just under 50 mph whilst the nearside lane had several heavy lorries going rather slower because of the gradient. I know the speed I was doing because I checked it when I saw a police road traffic car coming along the sliproad between the M62 and M606. The police car sped up behind me and put on his blues. I pulled onto the hard shoulder and was asked by one of the two police officers how fast I was going. I told him 48 mph. He said that they had clocked me at 68 mph. Talking it over with several friends in the police force and a solicitor friend they all gave the same advice. Plead guilty and pay the fine, you won't get away with the charge and might end up having to pay more.
