Help me not to tell DP it's his own stupid fault

[Kingfisherfly]

And offer words of encouragement.

First I'll say I don't have a perfect driving record and have points on my licemce, from doing 27 in a 20 limit without realising it wasn't 30.

DP has done similar, although this time it was 72 in a 50 (not 70) limit. He was pulled over by a police officer on a motorbike, who he felt enjoyed his job a little too much, and is incensed that he was only going at the speed of the traffic, why him etc (yes, I know I'm taking that with a pinch of salt).

Beyond that he's worried about what it will mean re points and/or a ban, mainly because of how it will affect work.

He wasn't given any paperwork at the time, and hasn't received any yet. At what point does he tell his insurance company?

And what will likely happen next?

I’d get the ick if my partner started whinging on about a police officer singling him out when all other traffic was going at the same speed (so also a liar) and being power hungry if said partner had obliterated a speed limit by more than 20mph.

Shudder in fact.

UPDATE

I know some people here will be very disappointed, but he got £100 fine and 3 points. Lucky Lucky boy.

He is very lucky indeed. Will this be sufficient for him to learn his lesson and start taking driving safely seriously?

If not maybe I could arrange for him to visit a trauma ward and talk to some patients ( those who are still able to talk) and their distraught relatives....

Excellent. Exactly as expected.

Has he been contacted yet @Kingfisherfly ?

sorry just seen!!!

his premium now he has two speeding convictions and 6 points will go up substantially but I imagine it’s still a relief!
