Thanks again guys...
Thanks to the media presence the judge felt inclined to make a example of me and issue me 15 months ban and £865 fine too  :sad:. So looks like I shall be missing a few shows/meets etc, but I only have myself to blame and could of been worse as I norrowly missed a 2 year ban by all accounts..
There was about 6 reporters there BBC/Calender/Local papers etc so epect to see me on TV etc soon..  :ashamed:

i heard it on the radio just now and put a post up but took it off as i felt tight  :ashamed:

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Sh!t, that sucks the big one Ben :sad:

I bet that if the profile hadn't been lifted out of all proportion that you'd have ended up with a 12 month ban and a £500 fine.

Well if you want to hear the media's side to it (where the speed etc is wrong for a start) then it'll be on the evening news tonight for most of you (including the vid too  :ashamed:)..

I cannot believe all this, why are the media making such a big deal of it  :angry015: :angry015: :angry015: :angry015:

There are far worse things that go on everyday in this country that the media would not even sniff at, WTF!!  :confused:

Sorry to hear about it Ben  :sad:

Just got in, i feel for you bud  :chicken: I hope it doesn't intrude on the other parts of your life to much.  :sad:
Make sure you still come to all the meets if you can, i am sure some one can give you a lift.  :wink:
at least you would then be around lots of people who understand exactly what it is you actually did, rather than people who will just judge you.  :smiley:

I'll still be showing my face guys, you won't get rid of me that easily..  :grin: Good bunch of lads on here and as TC says, at least they understand all the details rather than just the headline..  :sad:
