OK, I got caught by a camera-in-the-back-of-a-van type "safety (or purhaps revenue) camera" and the code on my licence is FPO and I have a lovely 3 points and £60 fine. That makes sense as it was a fixed penalty type of offence (hence the FP in FPO). The insurance companies for both my policies don't know what an FPO is and they want to put it down as an SP50. Does it make a difference? Has anyone else got an FPO? I don't want to be paying for an SP50 if an FPO is considered a lesser offence. Any help is appreciated!

should also explain the SP50 stands for excess speed in a 50mph restriction incase u were not sure.

can you phone them and tell them the diffrence? isnt a fpo only a minor amount over the speed limit eg 35 in a 30 instead of a sp50 which would be 50+ in a 40? somthing like that

you sure? i was 21 when i got it and it really didnt make any difference. it seems to go that the first 3 points dont really mean anything to be honest.

But things could have changed i guess.

SP50 is exceeding speedlimit on a motorway - SP30 is exceeding speed limit on a public road

can't find anything on FPO codes though

Hmmm, interesting. Why doesn't both my insurance companies know what an FPO means? The first girl asked if that was like and SP30 or an SP50. I said neither but she ended up putting it down as an SP30. It made no difference to my premium so I never argued. My other company said it must have been an SP50 and now that primeium is up £80. I just want to get it right because it's costing me money now! It think it's cause it was a safety camera rather than the cops in person. TBH I was doing 80 something in a 70 so I shouldn't complain but in the end of the day it's an FPO on my licence so that's all I want to pay for.

I wish that day never happened. After 10 years with a clean licence, I head off to a job interview and rip my trousers as I am pulling out of my street. I turn around, head for home and 10 minutes later after some frantic needle action I am good to go. I get stuck behind a person doing 40 in a 70, a quick nip round him before the dual carrigeway ends (I had about 700 meters) turns into a drag race as he speeds up to prevent me passing. Sadly the camera was nicely placed just at the end of the dual carrigeway. I still feel ripped off about it all. Didn't even want the job anyway!

My brother caught doing 127mph on a motorway. When the copper pulled him over the copper said do you know what speed were doing?

My brother as innocently as possible said 'No officer i dont?"

The copper said '97mph"

My brother just shut his mouth and signed his name and almost bite the hand off the copper to get his ticket lol

When I'm speeding I dont act like a jerk and get up peoples asses, it seems to work even here in USA. I cant tell you how many times the guy next to me was pulled over, leaving me with a heartrate of 200..

Back in the day (in the UK) I got away with quite a few tickets by being nice having a joke and telling the truth... However these American Cops are no fun, they all think you are going to shoot them so they treat you like a murderer..

I have had 2 tickets in 20 years here, both in 25mph limits and both times I didnt see the signs (they were there though, pity)
