Notice of Intent to Prosecute - Likely Outcome?

[chickenstrip]

So judging by recent threads this is a subject that's on people's minds lately, what with some decent biking weather around, and the scameras out in force.
And it's VERY much on my mind, as I have just received a letter requesting I furnish confirmation of my details to those lovely people of Heddlu Dyfed-Powys - mentioned elsewhere, it's 91 in a 60 limit.
So ACPO says it's a summons, a nice little trip to Wales sans personal transport (just in case - and as I live in Oxfordshire, a real pain but there we go).

I've been told everything from "don't worry, 3pts and £100" (which I find unlikely) to a ban.

My license is currently technically clean, but with an SP30 from 2010, and a ban from 2008.

So what does the mighty BCF think? Can I relax a bit, or am I looking at getting back on the road sometime from October/later?

Well, if they endorse your license as many times as you have posted this then you are fucked.

Looking at previous convictions on the website below, looks like you may get away with 6 points.

Using the table at the bottom of the page https://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/SpeedVSFines/SpeedVSFines.htm I would say 6 points and depending on whether you have a job, a reasonably large fine.

Send it off, wait for response - speculating won't change that. Personally I think they will offer you a fpn.

I got 3 points and a £150 for doing 86 in a 50. That was in glasgow and had to attend court for it.

92 in a 60 I got 4 points and £400 after much remorse during my court visit. Would have been 6 and 600 but he liked the way I presented myself.

It's a foreign country, just ignore it.

You can sometimes avoid a ban for speeding (unless in extreme cases) if you can prove your work is car-dependent.

Someone I know from the company I work for, quite high up, got flashed at 105 in a 50, it was a random A-road on or near the Welsh border.

Would've been an insta-ban, but someone he knows who is also a Justice of the Peace, attended court with him and argued that without his license he can't work.

Got off with 6 points and about £500 fine.

I'm not really in a position to plead any kind of hardship case, so will be taking it on the nose.
The fact that biking is all I've really got at the moment is, obviously, neither here nor there. It's a risk many of us take to have a bit of fun on motorcycles, so I accept if I'm caught breaking the law, then I get the punishment coming to me.
The worrying thing for me is I thought I was being careful in those places where any speeding would be unadvisable - didn't spot the van (?) that caught me, and would have been in a place I thought it was safe(r) to do it. I have calmed down considerably since my younger days of course, but think I will now need to re-assess again.
Unfortunately, I can't really afford the whole track day thing to let off that steam/get it out of the system, and it's not really my thing anyway.
Very worrying for those who drive/ride for a living, but at least the courts do take that into account (next post someone saying it wasn't for them? )
