I was caught doing 47mph in a 30mph zone. I wasn't aware of this until I got the letter this morning. It seems I was caught by a road side camera.

Anyway, I am 17, with a provisional licence. What action will be taken now? How many points will I get and what sort of fine am I looking at as I'm sure some of you have also been in the same situation.

Thanks in advance...

Ben

Well your looking at 3 Points and a £60 fine. And don't forget don't get more than 6 points on your licence as it will get revoked under the new drivers act.

You will probably get a £60 fine and 3 points. You'd be unlucky to get a summons for that, unless you decided it wasn't you who did it.

Basically just what craig said...3 points, £60 penalty and DO not speed within the next 2 years....well, excessively.

One other thing is that these aren't police, they're traffic cops...a bit different, they're only doing their job and have met a few who are really nice folk who enjoy their job. Don't give them the satisfaction m8.

Lettuce know how you get on...Smile

Hmmmm Twisted Evil

Nah I can actually remember it now as they give the road and date it happened. I remember looking round and seeing some sort of roadside camera as I went past. It wasn't a speed camera which are clearly marked in yellow, it was some other random one with a van next to it. No striking markings at all Sad

Ah well, fuck em'!

Ta for the info folks.

Woooo I can't wait! Razz

Not necessarily? Surely if I just didn't tell my next insurance company I had points...? How do they find out anyway!? Jesus...

I think if you don't tell the insurance company you have points and then you have a prang they can say your insurance is void because the information they have for you is not correct.

As far as I know anyway

Spot on. You will come seriously unstuck if you crash; not only will they not pay you out but they will not pay 3rd party damage or injury costs.

47 in a 30, provo licence and 17. Oh Dear. I reckon they will throw the book at you. 6 months inside at least with a cell mate called Bumpy with a fetish for opera.

That doesn't apply to provisional licences, only your first full licence.

Bet they just forgot when they were drafting the laws.

All the best

Without wishing to be a doom monger, I thought 3 points was only up to 15mph over ? This was 17 over so could be 4 5 or 6 ? (probably 4?)

I think there was someone on here who found their provisional points carried over to their new license. Now who was that?

They do, but even if you pass your test with over 6 points on your licence you do not immediatly loose it, However any more points after your test before the current total drops below 6 will loose you your licence immediatly.

All the best
