I've very rarely reached those speeds, and certainly not on sunny august afternoons on roads known to be heavily policed! I've fairly often travelled at 90mph in light traffic on motorways, but that's a different matter. I've no idea why they accused me of having no insurance. I didn't have the docu...

For example Giorgos Papadopoulos of Kifisia, Greece (you can't, and don't have to remember his address). If there were no Giorgos Papadopoulos (Papadoloupli?) in Kifisia, it would be a miracle o...

I'm due in court this friday for speeding. I intend to fight the prosecution all out, as I genuinely believe I was not speeding. It happened back in August, travelling south on the A3 in Surrey, just after the 50 limit. This is a wide stretch of 3 lane dual carriage way, it was a clear, sunny day an...
