Speeding ticket - 65mph on a 40mph road....what now?

Hi All,

I have just recieved my first speeding ticket in the last 1 and a half years of driving. I have been caught doing 65 on a 40 mph road.
Does anyone know the possible penalty.
As i havent passed for more than 2 years i only have a limit of 6 points so am a little worrid.
Thanks

you'll probably only get 3 points so dont worry. But you must stop speeding. Speed restrictions are there for a reason.

You will get a fine and 3 points on your licence.
65 in a 40 zone is quite excessive don't you think.
Slow down.

You didn't receive a fixed penalty notice because there is the potential for you to lose your licence.

That being the case, you are likely to receive a summons to court. The range of options open to the magistrates for what is known as SP30 (Exceeding statutory speed limit on a public road) is 3-6 points (hence the possibility of losing the licence), plus whatever they decide to throw at you in the way of a fine.

If you plead guilty and take the opportunity to apologise to the Court for being stupid and taking up their time etc. you're likely just to receive 3 points, a fine and an earful.

Good luck.

3 points and a £60 fine I believe

You will get 3pts and a £60 fine

Be more careful, as speeding is dangerous. You are only allowed 6pts in total in the first 2 years as a full license holder.
Twice the speed limit is an automatic court appearance, so in a way you were fortunate the speed limit wasn't 30!!!!!!!

As well as three points and a fine or possibly six points you could also get a public flogging. Slow down, speed kills.


!Prince$$.P!
Taking 1 day course ELIMINATES you from receiving points on your driving licence.

you should be given a choice as to whether you want the points put on your licence or you agree to take a one day course costing around 50-70 pounds making you aware and ensuring your aware of your faults, road safety and road awareness. if 6 or more points are gained within time limit consequences are:
1. CONFISCATED licence...... then you
2.Re-Apply for provisional......then you
3. Need to Retake BOTH THEORY and PRACTICAL tests.

It's a LIFE sentence for you

3 points and a fine .

But if you are left with 0 point , you cannot drive for a certain amount of time .

Hope it helps ! ~

A Fixed Penalty Notice must reach within 14 days since the offence was committed. You'll have to pay a 60 pound fine and you'll have three points on your licence.

Let this be a lesson for you - you were just 5mph shy of going to court for doing 30mph over the limit. Which would probably mean 6 points and much higher fine.

If you're lucky, you were just flashed by a dummy camera - a speeding car will trigger the flash but no picture is taken. Happened to me once, "roadworks" on a motorway, speed reduced to 40.... I was doing something like 50, flash went off but no FPN followed. But it was 3 AM and there was no traffic so maybe they just let it be.

3 points and £60 fine, unless they want to make and example of you and take it to court,

watch your speed next time, 65 in a 40 means you were 25 over the speed limt. penalty means the limt of speed, 65 in a 40 speed zone, that pretty fast.

I think its 3 points and a £60 fine, you might be offered the chance to go on a course, if you do and you go on it you still get the fine but not the points.


blackfirebeetle
seen a lad on tv last night 12 TIMES over the legal alcohol limit , he literally could not stand up ! banned 12 months and £60 fine ! so they will probably let you off . ( not )
