Oh dear. :(

I believe you will only lose your license if you've been driving less than 2 years, if you have more than 12 points now or if you were driving stupidly fast. I think over 90 is an instant ban, but don't take my word for it as I am a humble female and often don't know what I'm talking about.

No such thing as an "instant ban". But the courts generally don't look too highly upon anything more than 2/3 over the limit.

What happened to the fez? Or was that the undercover car?

TBH in a 1.6 to be coming out of a 30 doing 65, you must have been nailing it well inside the 30. Sorry, but I don't have any sympathy.

17-08-09, 11:34 PM
you might get away with it (by getting away with it i mean big fine and points/increased insurance premium for ever but keeping your license)

just hope you dont get summoned for driving without due care and attentios and/or reckless driving

ask for proof the the gun had been calibrated ive heard this works as they need calibrating every siz months?
if they have no proof you have a slight better chance.

on the other hand if they show you well... i dont no

Lauren
17-08-09, 11:50 PM
If you can prove that you need your car for your job you might actually stand a chance, they don't want people to lose their job if they can help it.
You need to show remorse, admit you were an idiot and hope for the best, but if you do get off lightly because of your job then don't use it as an excuse to drive like a tit again.

Oh bend over time. If you had said it was a normal car the answer should have been 'i was doing 30mph' dont admit anything they cant do anything.

But seeing as its recorded on camera theres not alot you can do, you can ask when the speed gun was last calibrated but dont know how that works. It should have been calibrated on the day as far as i know if it wasnt they cant use that as evidence of speeding or somthing.

Only thing you can do is seek advice from somone that knows what they are talking about and hope but it doesnt look good.

anything over 100 is an instant ban or over double the speed limit. i know because i got caught on a dual carriageway doing 110 a year after passing my test. got off lightly though, 28 day ban, £60 fine, no points and they never revoked my license so no retest. my mate got caught racing (tried racing an unmarked copper) 12 month ban, fine and had to do an extended retest

My mate is awaiting a court summons, he got caught on camera doing 97 in a 50, just coming out of a national speed limit. Dual carriageway. He's hired a lawyer for a fair wedge and seems to think he'll get off with points, slight ban and mega fine. Just said he needs the car for his job, got our college tutor to write a letter explaining 'it would be a shame to have another apprentice leave' bla bla, Swings and roundabouts I think as I always thought 20mph over the limit is instant ban?

18-08-09, 07:54 AM
i have been there also.
what i did was the following.

got a solicitor, in general i was being a prat.
get a letter from your boss to explain you need your license for your job.

what i opted for was a ban, but to take into consideration my work and i would learn from my error.

i was doing 103.8 in a 70.
i got a 7 day ban and £100 court fee's plus my solicitor i only paid £80 for a half day plys free consultation. no points either

all in, i was lucky it could have gone worse.

tbh, i was the first in the court and got bare minimum. the court i was in, people were getting month bans, £1000 fines and 9 points. the judges get to hear speeding all day, and as such, they get harsher by the hour.

make a choice, speak to solicitor and see if you can survive upto a month without a car.

your call.

It's not an instant ban, I was caught for 109mph on a motorway, had to wait 2 months for a court date and could still drive the car in the mean time!, ended up with a 55day ban and £145 fine:d

IIRC the speed gun needs to be calibrated at the start of each shift, and signed for.

Hope this helps a little. Have a read through this site CLICKY (http://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/Rules_useage/The_Law.htm). This is a snippet. Even if you don't get a ban your Insurance will go up quite a bit.


UK Law, fines and points.
Known officially in the UK as "EXCEEDING SPEED LIMIT", this table shows baseline penalties you can expect. It's correct as of 10th March 1999. Each case will be looked at individually, to assess factors such as time of day, road type and conditon, weather conditions etc. The fine is now also based upon the financial circumstances of the offender, leading to payment within 12 months.

Offence Fine Costs Penalty Points
up to 15mph over the posted limit £44 £30 3
16mph to 25mph over the posted limit £45-£100 £30 4
26mph to 35mph over the posted limit £45-£200 £30 5-6
36mph or more over the posted limit £67-£300 £30 Ban 1 month to 12 months

Police do have the power to issue a fixed penalty of £ 40 plus 3 penalty points on the spot, but not when it comes to GATSO cameras. For those cases, they must go to court. Each offence on the same day, but at different places is counted separately. This can result in disqualification under the 'totting' procedure:
Totting Procedure:If the total of penalty points reaches 12 or more within 3 years, you are known as a "Totter". You get a TT99 endorsement on your license, and get disqualified.
Endorsements remain on your licence for:
11 years from date of conviction for offences relating to drink/drugs and driving, causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs and causing death by careless driving then failing to provide a specimen for analysis.
4 years from date of conviction for reckless/dangerous driving and offences resulting in disqualification.
4 years from the date of offence in all other cases At the appropriate time, you can apply to remove your endorsement(s) from your licence by completing a D1 application form available from Post Offices.

if they have no proof you have a slight better chance.

on the other hand if they show you well... i dont no
they need calibrated everytime before they are used and should have a certificate with that evening or days date on it but knowing what they are like even if they didnt have one they would probably just write one out anyway and put that date on it.

Few ways to deal with this, 1 accept that it happened and deal with it, or 2, make sure when they submit to the PF they have all the stuff right - if it's only speeding and no careless or dangerous they will have to present the calculation used to catch you, if the gun, camera was calibrated etc.

I had similar on the bike with an unmarked car - they tried to do me for speeding but could only say I was over 100 and tried dangerous driving which is an auto ban - my lawyer argued it was not dangerous but carless and I got 6 month ban due to that - not the speeding.

Good luck with however it goes as we all make mistakes

didnt recieve anything at the time just took my adress details etcc and said expect a summons ? NIP is a Notice of intended prosecution.

It's what the officer should have given you, both verbally and on paper after he explained your offence(s) and what to expect, summons etc.
I am 90% certain that this has to be issued to you in writing as you have to sign it at the scene. Not issuing you this puts them at a disadvantage I believe.


However, it's best no to dispute these things and ask for the gun calibration certificates/dates etc. IME.
Appear apologetic and very sorry for one stupid mistake when standing in court. They will respect and appreciate that much more.

I was banned a few years ago for doing 116mph on the A19 dual carrigeway. Pulled by the T5 and shown a VASCAR speed reading, given a producer, told to expect a summons etc.
which he also wrote on 'NIP given and understood' which I then signed.
I didn't admit to doing anything illegal whilst in the traffic car (it's all recorded) but decided not to try and fight it as I was guilty lol.

I received a 56 day ban, zero points and £340 court costs - I did not use a solictor.

I got off very lightly IMO. Especially as when I was pulled over the cop described me as 'this silver streak' lol
I think the main reason I wasn't so fussed though was I was going a lot faster prior to being nabbed by him sitting on top of the flyover!

If you really intend to fight your corner then I suggest this guy:

Incorrect, the minimum fine for a speeding offence is £60, along with 3 points. Those of you who got off without points were done for something else, as an SP30 (Exceeding Statutory Speed Limit) carries a minimum 3 point endorsement. Max is 6 points and £1000 fine, and "discretionary ban". [edit] Note that Speeding On A Motorway (SP50) is different to Exceeding Statutory Speed Limit (SP30)

...and just because I know some people will miss what I've said:

"discretionary ban"
That means its perfectly possible for you to get off with NO ban.

Did the police car pull out as soon as you went past and nick you?

To be honest it doesnt matter whats happened to someone else, they change their minds when they feel like it. The rest of the time they just havent got a clue what they are doing. I got caught 47 in a 30 on camera, the copper had been there so long he had alreay given out all his christmas cards. He told me i would receive a fine and points, meaning i had to send off my lisence etc.

Nearly 6 months later i got a letter telling me i had to go to court! I rang them up to tell them i wasnt in the country on the date, so she said send my lisence in. I said no im taking it on holiday with me so she said photocopy it and send it in. So did that. The week after the court date i got a letter for £105 fine and that was it. No points nothing on my lisence.

Bad luck.

I got caught doing 3 figures on the m/way. Kept my licence. You might be lucky on your court apperance, then again you might not.

i spoke to a frind of mines dad today who is a magistrate the problem i face is that i have only been driving 1 and a half years. he said the reason im going to court is not to get a ban but to issue my penalty as its not a fixed penalty offence. i already have 3 points meaning i have most likely got another 5-6 points from this offece totaling me up to 9, exceeding my limit for the first two years he reckons this wil not get me banned and 9 points isnt a reason for banning (he got cuaght at 63 in a 30 and got 6 points and a 200 quid fine ) but once my penalty has been issued on my license by the court the dvla will then revoke my license due to number of points and amount of time ive held my license and i have to re apply and go through the process of learing to drive getting my full driving license from scratch again which obviosy is a disadvantage time/money wise and stays on my record sending my insurance sky high on the gte !! but as you all say completely my fault i understand this! but as other say i have spoken to a few lads and they have all said see what happens all types of stuff happens in these situations thanks to anyone who has put the 2pence in or helped with info advice :)

A lad I know got caught doing over 100 mph racing another car in a 30 zone at stupid o'clock in the morning, Didn't get even 1 point no fine and no ban, But on that occasion the cops couldn't prove anything even though they claimed he was doing 120 (he says 105).

I don't understand how him and the other lad got away with it but he claims he did. I always thought if the cops saw it you were done.

65 in a 30 is a bit silly but I think everyone has travelled at excessive speed at some point in their life as everyone was young once!

Good luck and I hope they don't ban you!

Sorry to hear about you getting caught speeding mate. Best thing to do in my eyes is to enjoy your licence while you still have it and hope for the best that you don't actually get banned.

65 in a 30 is a bit silly but I think everyone has travelled at excessive speed at some point in their life as everyone was young once!

Good luck and I hope they don't ban you!

cheers mate this will be my learning curve.

I had my licence revoked when I was younger, probobly a good thing too as I was an absolute terrorist.

I got the letter on christmas day too, as my licence was registered to my parents house. Happy christmas from the DVLA!

Sounds like you've learned your lesson!

As you can imagine, I had a great christmas lol.

I did have it coming to me though, I used to drive everywhere on the edge and do lots of silly things. Genrally chavving it up! Funnly enough I never got caught speeding though. 3 points for driving an unroadworthy vehicle and another 3 for having a bald tyre. The police used to love me and if they saw me they would pull me over, which kind of got rediculous in the end and I started taking a record everytime they did (as I had my head so far up my own **** I couldn't understand it). IIRC I got pulled 14 times in a month and 3 times in one day.

It was a while ago so I'll try and remember as best I can.

I had my licence about a year and half before I got the first three for driving an unroadworthy vehicle. When I got the next three for a bald tyre I had a court summons. I remember thinking all will be cool as the court case was dated after my two years was up. I went to court and surely enough was given the 3 points. They never said anything about my licence revoke whilst in court so I assumed that I'd send my licence off and the 3 points would put on my licence and my insurence would be loads a money. IIRC a couple of months past and I recieved a letter from the DVLA saying please send us you licence otherwise the police will be notified to come and get it from me. Or words to that effect.

I can't remember that well as it was about 5 years ago and it was a low point in my life that I tried to forget ever since getting my licence back.

The way it works has probobly changed now.

lol doing, say, 90 in a 70 is a little different to doing 65 in a 30! Speeding is indeed speeding, my lack of sympathy comment was due to the quantity of speed applied.

[edit] and no, I've never done 65 in a 30 :p

sorry but i agree with jack on this, i speed and have done very silly speeds but in built up arears i slow down i have a daughter and if you hit her at that speed she would be killed instantly and id kill you speed is ok in the right areas and at the right time 30mph zones are there for a reason so i too have no simpathy 40 in a 30 ok but 65 takes the piss

when i was 16 i moved my car from my house to where i work (1/4 mile down the road) to store it there. i got pulled and done for no licence and insurance etc etc. went to court and they gave me 6 points and a £110 fine? dno if this helps but its compleatly up to the courts. when i went into court i just sat and made sure they knew i regreted what i had done. if they can see your not sum little scrote who nicks cars and goes joy riding for the fun of it they tend to be more leniant with u:) hope this helps and good look (Y).
