Roger Chatfield 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Afternoon chums. Just had a nice letter from the plod, I've been caught by a camera van doing 97 on a dual carriageway (70 limit). I've not been done for speeding for years now so am a little rusty as to what the probable outcome will be, anyone have any recent experience? Rog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 8, 2015 3 points, £60 fine. Thats what i got for 93mph in a 70mph. My mate behind me also got caught but at 82mph, he tried to contest it and pretend it must of been a cloned car, they ended up proving it was him due to his tesco parking sticker :lol: he got about £400 fine, 3 points and charged with wasting police time.

MZpog 10 Posted January 8, 2015 Last time I was busted was 98 in a 60. I think it was the exiting a corner bit that upset them. I though a ban was due as it went to court. I pleaded guilty by post (sorry won't do it again grovelling letter) and got 6 points and £400 fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Declan Sedrick Lehane 10 Posted January 8, 2015 Your lucky, anything over 30 MPH is bad news (as above). But you should only get 3 points and a £60 fine which isn't the end of the world! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted January 8, 2015 Fines are minimum £100 now I believe or is that just north of the border ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 8, 2015 3 points and a fine. If you were doing 101 in a 70. Court, most probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Chatfield 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks mate, that's a very useful site, I've posted up my info and they reckon 6 points and a fine. Rog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairyarse 10 Posted January 8, 2015 I thought 96+ was a court appearance? Either way, hope it's not too painful ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E2-SAW 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Best case would be 3pts and £100 fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwr vr6 10 Posted January 9, 2015 As has been said best case 3 points and a fine , they will take into account your driving history etc , so everyone is different . You might get to go on one of them driver awareness courses , 5 hours of sleeping in a classroom for a few hundred quid there errr quite boring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdub 10 Posted January 9, 2015 26mph over the speed limit is a court appearance I thought. So typically 6 points and a 2-400 quid fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted January 9, 2015 I thought driver awareness courses were for people just over the speed limit? Hopefully just 3 points and a fine :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted January 9, 2015 I got the awareness course for 52 in a 40. I seem to recall that being offered instead of fine/court straight away. I can only assume if they haven't offered it, it would be a fine and points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimjed 0 Posted January 10, 2015 20 miles over the speed limit = court. Court will issue 6 points plus fine plus victim surcharge. I'd say £400 is a reasonable estimate. (Can also throw in community service!!). Over 100mph is a ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted January 11, 2015 could be up to £500 fine and most likely 6 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted January 17, 2015 Little update, I've had another letter from plod, due to the high speed my case can only be delt with in court, just wait for a date. Rog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
