Not at all, I've been caught doing 140mph before. Bent over and took it like a man!

If I get caught speeding its my fault and no one elses! I wouldn't complain, I'd just pay up. No one to blame but my right foot

Thing is, it sounds like the fines in south africa are a lot more than here.

So 90mph in a 50mph limit basically... mehboob how much did you have to pay?

Look on the bright side, at least you've still got your license! (I hope?)

And I'm sure your petrol is cheaper than ours is in the UK...
