I spent a few days on business in Manchester and other areas of England (about 2 years ago), riding shotgun with a native that drove us around to the client's offices.

Uk driving licences have an "allowance" of 12 points. Each time a person gets caught speeding they lose 3 points in addition to whatever fine is imposed. After a year or two you get the points back but if you lose all 12 then you lose your driving licence.
"Mistaking" a speed gun for an Uzi is the lamest excuse for speeding I've ever heard.
