Speeding, likely outcome?

(1/7) > >>

MuddyMike:
Hi folks

My daft son has just been nicked for doing 100.7  mph on the M18. It was a marked traffic car pulled him and showed him the speed he was doing on a screen in the car. Anyone have any experiance of the likely penalty?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the 0.7 could well be the killer for his licence, if he avoids a ban it will likely be heavy.

davidlandy:
I know of a couple of people at work that have been caught at speeds exceeding 100mph. (birmingham toll road)

If his job depends on him having a licence then it could be that you can suffer a sentence that it weighted toward a very short ban (x weeks, take it as holiday) but with a real heavy fine.

paul_humphreys:
It will also depend on how long ago he passed his test. I seem to remember if you got 6 points in the first 2 years (could be less) then you have to retake your test. But most times now over 100mph its at least 28 days ban.

Ooh, had a feeling of deja vu then.   :D

As I said in "the other place", post ton is bad.  It usually involved court hearings.
