slingshot82 32 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was caught doing 89.93mph over 3/4 of a mile on a single carriageway almost 9 years ago. I had to appear in court and was given 5 points, and ordered to pay £160 fine and £40 court costs. Not sure what you could expect for your speeding offence though, good luck anyway EDITED to say, I tried to plead guilty by post as the court was in Grantham and I lived near Newcastle, but was told I HAD to appear in court Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sikastag_1 689 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Guy in my work got caught doIng 59 in a 40, he was advised 1 mph more and he would have had to appear in court to fight for his license, seemingly if your doing 20 mph or more over the speed limit you need to fight a case why you shouldn't be banned, don't know if that's the law or not just what I heard about this case, you'll be hoping its not, let us know how you get on.

zx10mike 137 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 if it was dark tell them you were just concentrating on the dark conditions and just did not realise your speed be very apologetic and make no excuses that are crap hold your hands up.i did not get a solicitor and pleaded guilty .my report said i pulled away aggressivley from a police car doing 125 mph on my motorbike.unfortunatley i caught another one up.police sandwich .i got 6 week ban and a £200 fine no points .that said i learned my lesson it could have shut my business.i sold the bike.got another one now but ride much slower its never worth it i don't bounce as well as i used to.first offence it would be harsh if they went hard.

You shouldn't have been done at all the law allows 10% + 2mph above the posted limit before you get nicked to allow for speedo error. Therefore, you can get away with 46 mph in a 40, 57 in a 50 and so on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
