TBH your best getting a good lawyer and seeing what they say.
Not stopping you when speeding for over 10miles is a big point as you could of caused an accident during this time (especially as they were close enough to be able to clock an average speed over 2miles). Them travelling with no lights on is another big point.

nah, is a common myth about getting done.
You can also be done with only one copper in the car, as most people think they need two.

fuk me also you cant get done i dont think the case may get quashed because you can bring the police officers down with you in court,
if you get anything like 14-16 months ban im going to be physicly sick because a pissed up cunt of a driver got 18 months after trying to hit and run twice aswell. she got it reduced to 14 months after a drunk driver awareness course,
so if you get done more ill be well pissed off.
ok ok speeding but
1)you never hit anyone
2)you wasnt pissed
3)you was probably driving in a safe manor anyway doing that.

speedings all about the driver you can be the best driver on the road for example my dad whos never had an accident apart from when he was hit up the arse,
regularly sits at 130 these days hes toned it down compared to what he used to be like speeding doesnt make a bad driver anyone who thinks that shouldnt of been given a liscence,
bad driving kills not speeding. you can be the shittest driver in the world and never hit above 40 infact they are the worst, my nan has 9 point on her liscence for speeding i know its funny but shes a damn good driver and were talkin of a near 70 yrold.

country road + unlit + 142mph + not seeing a cyclist/dog walker/car pulling out just round a small dend or dip = dead people
Its stupidity, dont try and make a case for it not being (the guy who got done isnt, and he is right). And your Dad is too why we are on about it TBH.

ive been breathelised for having no front reg plate there was 2 people then, but no idea if thats the law but lookin at this with the speeding and the officers that constatly get done for doing 140 they all get away with it because they dont play by the law,
cause basicly they are the law. anyways with the speeding thing m8y play on the fact of no lights its a shame tbh we all didnt know the law more thares loads of things and loopholes to get you out the shit if you know how.

A copper can go through a speed camera as still get points, he/she has to be able to prove they were on a call

Respect mate, if your gonna do it! do it properly
I've got only about 5 months left till I can say good bye to my points for exceeding 100 mph
I got done for average 101.4 and got 6 points as I need my license. That was on a empty motorway though, so no idea what will happen to you... I'd guess 28 days -> 3 months ban (claim you need your car though).

speeding is speeding, regardless of what the cops did, im pretty much up shits creek
i wasnt speeding for 10miles, when i got onto the straight i put the foot down, it was a clear night, dry road, no other road users around,
i do need my licence for work, but been told they will stick by me if i loose it, which im grateful for,
im not gonna get into the ins and outs of the legal system again, ive done it before and they just make an example of you,
ill speak to my solicitol who is pretty good by all accounts, and take it from there,
i will be mentioning the headlights thing though, and a few other points,
i did 142mph and got caught, no way out really

are you getting done for the 142mph (does it mention it at all?) or just the average of 102mph?

you could get away with that then, possibly anyway.
If the 142mph was mentioned though you would be royally butt fucked.
