Kids like you that have been driving two minutes and like idiots are the reason insurance is so high.. Just be happy you didn't have an accident and kill some innocents.
I do about 60,000+ miles a year between work, my Own cars. Garage cars ect. I wouldn't call myself an experienced driver but I doubt I'm Someone who's been driving for "2 mins". I've never done anything to make everyone's insurance high bar my own. I don't normally drive like this hence how I have a clean licence an can insure a type r.
Typical child driver attitude, thinks he knows it all... You'll learn son, enjoy the insurance hike once you get done :thumbup:

Yeah the car in front was doing 20/30..I swear on my life. I just got pissed off and went round it. Typical going round it police car went round the corner behind me.
They said cause I overtook it approached a corner but it was a corner turning to the right that you could see all the way round.

I bet he said that...

How fast were you going when you overtook? Why was it without due care and attention? If you WERE driving without due care and attention then feel free to plead guilty as it usually results in a reduction in sentence, but if you weren't why accept any sentence?

I'd always speak to a solicitor if it involved impacting my work.

Realised never replied to this. I really doubt I was doing over 40mph or if I was if wasn't by much. And it was traffic police.

And driving course was actually pretty decent. Lesson learned :)

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
