Speeding Fine Advice Please!! *UPDATE*

[8316]

My dad got caught by a camera in his car doing 109mph in the north of scotland....the letter says he can get 3 points and a max of £1000 fine-or even a possible ban!
Has anyone beeen caught at a similar speed and if so, how were you punished?
Thanks in advance

That speed is gonna be more than the standard 3 pointer and fine.

Sorry

but it says a maximum of 3 points and the grand fine...(although he already has 3 points...)
on a separate part of the letter at the bottom does it say that you may have your license revoked.

im not sure, but i always thought if you got caught over a ton it was pretty serious.
I suppose he could ask for the camera to be checked and calibrated, but this might just cost money and piss the coppers off.
I think only man utd footballers have enough ready cash to risk this strategy.

He's looking at a ban AFAIK. Anything over a ton is a poss ban. (I think it's 30mph over any speed limit).

[Kickstart]

Hi

Ban is likely for any speed 30mph over the speed limit. Presume the letter they have sent is the one where they are just seeking to get him to incriminate himself. Get onto Pepipoo and someone there might well be able to help.

All the best

The other day I came back to my car and there was a sign on the window saying "Parking fine", so that was nice.

I suggest him getting a good solicitor for his day in court.

Failing that, a good supplier of anal lube.

Well my dad was called to attend court in scotland and he got a 4 month ban and an £800 fine....small ban length i thought, but big fine!
that'll teach him for speeding without keeping his eyes peeled for the pigs and their cameras

would rather have had the points ...

a ban will hit your inurance harder and make it impossible to hire vehicles ...

A ban is a ban regardless of length. So his insurance will still take a hit.
