There is a fair chance you will get a ban as you were doing 50% over the speed limit. I Don't think it would hurt to get some legal advice

it may be an idea to join the IAM fast & get lessons for the car . if you manage to pass your advanced test before court .... u never know the judge may not be so harsh on you , also if you have a solicitor to say you've changed your ways ...

you may be offered a speed awareness course if this was your first offence, for secound offenders they really throw the book at you - sorry this is coming from me, police took my bike off me wrongly, and now i'm getting around 8 points, ive taken it to court and currently fighting them for justice.

90 in a 60 is enough for an instant ban even if you're currently clean.

If you're offered a FPN, you should probably bite their hand off. If you get a summons, I'd suggest that you pay for a specialist motoring solicitor to try and find some holes in the case. They get to be bolshy on your behalf, and if the CPS don't fold before you're inside the courtroom, they can plead exceptional hardship while you blub and sniffle.

Best of luck.

Magistrates guidelines say,

4 - 6 points

Fine depending on income, probably around £250

Ban possible, 7 to 28 days.

(That would be a ban OR points, not both)

I got pulled about a month ago for doing 98.3mph on the motorway.
The offer was FPN or Court.
I took the 3 points and £60 fine.
I had no excuse other than stupidity for being caught as I knew the places they lurk.

I got caught at 92 in a 60 in my van, car followed me for 1.5 miles in the dark.


Went to court, dressed well, begged a bit and got 4 points and £400 fine.



As far as I'm aware, they have 6 months to issue the summons. Mine dropped through the door 5 months and 3 weeks after the offence

No aggrivating stuff like due care etc, and i was caught at 22:30 hours in the dark by two traffic officers in a bmw with a radar gun. Would the fact that i intend to join the ambulance service and need my license and i have been volunteering for ages to achieve this career goal help me?

Not worth doing anything till the summons comes through, then check the paper work and get yourself a free 20mins with a local lawyer.

Were the coppers just having a slow day and intent on reporting you for the offence or where you a bit arsey?
Given the time of day and no previous points they could have been nice and given you a penalty notice there and then. C**TS.

[colicabcadam]

be prepared for a month ban an no points
