I'm afraid if you're doing more than 40% over the legal limit you have to appear in court to face a probable ban. it will be up to the court to decide how long the ban is.. not as easy as a fine and 3 points.. just look very sorry and tell them you need the car for your job, they may take pity on you.. |

Oh dear - you have to go to court because you were so far over the limit they will possibly ban you for a short time to teach you a lesson - on top of the points and the fine !!!! x |

Because you were doing over 70 |

Because you are a danger and NEED to be banned SOON.
NOTE. Anyone know? you are a plank and a disgrace to true bikers. Get on the track or are you too much of a sh*t house?
I hope you get banned SOON moron. |

Why did you break the speed limit, it is there for the safety of others. You will deserve what you get. |

Ummm, cos you were committing a crime????? A friend of mine got done for speeding earlier this year, she was only a few miles per hour over the limit. Instead of having points on her licence she opted to go to a police centre and be shown a film of what can happen when you speed. Like killing people. And you're wondering why you have to go to Court, duuhhhh!!!! |

There is normally a discretionary limit where you would get an automatic fine and points.
76mph in a 50 mph is 50% over the limit and the enforcement officers have decided that it would be in the public's interest for you to go to court to have your case decided.
This normally means bad news for the driver as the magistrate has the power to impose a high fine and points if it is warranted. |

There is a reason why there are speed limits, it is not just for your own safety but for those around you.
You broke the speed limit by 26 mph. Your deserve to go to court, you will get points on your licence a fine and possible a ban for up to 6 months. |

You should have your licence and car confiscated as you obviously do not think the law applies to you. Do you also use a mobile phone while driving? |

No 20 mph over and you have to go to court and you might get a ban, get a solicitor real quick. You must have been indicating 80 to 85, This is quite serious failing a roadside eyesight test, and failing to keep to the limit plus 20 mph.
Failing to see a Gatso or camera Van shows a lack of concentration, you are lucky you did not fail to see a parked lorry or small child or you could be dead or facing a long stretch inside.
Unmarked cars are a bit different but as a general rule either keep below 55 or 70, or make sure there is no way the number plate can be read, my mate "scrapper" always takes his number plate off and fits a broken off corner of a plate before he sets off for a high speed thrash but 76 in a 50 is just plain stupid, 176 yes fun |

To make an example of you.
It's about the percentage over the limit you were.
(And it serves you right! Naughty person.) |

Well, I hope you learn your lesson.

If you stuck to 50mph all this could have been avoided - serves your right |

because the offence is speeding over the 70mph national speed limit...thereby incurring section 2 and section 3 of the road traffic act.
driving in a manner dangerous or driving without reasonable consideration for other road users it is not simply a speeding offence.
the up side is lee bowyer got off travelling in excess of 100mph while i got 3points and a £60 fine for doing 58mph on a mway when there were no other cars around.or if you have 6points on dl already then letter process is not an option |

If the police did not give you a fine (or a ticket), and tell you that you need to go to court, then you have to go. The traffic court will decide if you will pay the fine, and go to traffic school or not. Which one do you prefer? If you don't go to traffic court, that is an additional fine. |

So you can receive a lecture about the dangers of excessive speed. Will it do any good? |

perhaps because you was doing over 50% above the speed limit. if you double the speed limit where ever you are you'll get an instant ban i.e.:- 40in 20 zone, 60 in 30 etc etc, best advice slow down a bit |

Der, you were speeding. Usually, and this varies, you are 'allowed' 10% over the limit, so 10% of 50 is 5, which means you can do 55, you were doing 21 miles over that limit - you deserve to go to court. Speed limits are there for a reason. God forbid if a child or elderly person were crossing the road or you lost control of your vehicle. Sorry to go on, but why don't people listen to the news and read papers!!!!! |
|
anyone know?
|
I've been banned 3 times for speeding on motorcycles.
So listen, you usually only goto court for 30mph over the posted limit. If you are going to be prosecuted for more than one reason, than you goto court. Otherwise you get the 3pts and 60 rips....
Did you wind up the officer? Surely you said something stupid, or had a bald tyre / other defect too.
You can call Crown Prosecution Services whilst the case is still in its infancy, and plead your side of things. I've seen it work for more important things....
Good luck. |

You exceeded more than 20mph over a 50mph zone.
If it is a 90mph zone and you go 110mph, you will go to court too.
Say if you only exceed 10mph, then you will just get what you mentioned. |

20 over the limit. And over 70. Besides, you're innocent until they prove otherwise, and maybe someone will mess it up and the charge will be dismissed. |

Just not pay the fine and you'll find yourself summoned to court at some point. |

You were more than 20 mph over the speed limit. It's automatic court case.
They may do you for dangerous driving, as oppose to speeding, so make sure you read the court papers properly! |
