Male parent at school boasting about his speeding....

Hi

I overheard a friend's husband boasting that he did 120 mph in a 50 zone.

He said he saw a flash and if it was a speed camera, he'll get 3 points Angry

He has really made me angry about his dangerous driving but surely going at that speed, he'll get more than just points?

I hope he gets a ban.

Surely when people boast they should have something to boast about? It sounds like he's proud of being a dangerous arsewomble. Confused

He'll be going to court and possibly losing his licence for those speeds.

I imagine he wasn't being truthful anyway, don't give it a minutes thought.

From your post I imagine he always drives like a twat.
I hope he gets banned before he kills someone

Twat

@jillowarriorqueen

Ah, thank you.

He's a know it all at the best of times.

Boasting and not thinking of the consequences has really angered me.

He could of caused a terrible accident, killed people, lose his job - he needs a car for his job.

I just hope he's never driven like that with his kids in the car Angry

Goodness! I didnt expect so many replies so quickly!

It did cross my mind he may be lying but he is such a big headed twat who thinks he's something special in his sporty car.

The law changed last year and he can be fined up to 175% of his weekly wage plus up to 56 days disqualification or 6 points on his licence.

(If he's telling the truth, of course.)

Budgieinaberet · 01/11/2018 23:59

I think you were right in your OP, he is bragging
Sadly I know a few people who behave like him.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do x

Twat.
IF he’s telling the truth I expect he’ll get more than 3 points. But he probably isn’t telling the truth, I expect he just doesn’t have anything interesting to say. Quite sad really.

Jamieson90 · 02/11/2018 00:09

Isn't it an instant 12 points if you're caught doing over 100?

mum23kidz · 02/11/2018 00:10

Just ignore him. People boasting about breaking the law aren't worth my time.
