    police man said il likely to be brought to court but didnt tell me what my likely points plus fine would be.

    You cannot get points if you are a ROI resident. You will get a fine allright. Dont know if you need to pay it though. You would be better off if you drive there a lot.

    Should have said you were on the phone to the gaurds because you were chasing down a dangerous drunk driver and he just ****ed it up :)

    If you didn't get a fixed penalty notice issued to you at the time, you will be taken to court. For driving while using a mobile phone, you can get 3 points and a fine up to £1000. For speeding, you can get 3 - 6 points & a £60 fine.

    No sympathy.
