Speeding, likely outcome?

<< < (2/7) > >>

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
I know a while ago it was a mandatory court appearance for over 90 mph, and an automatic ban for over 100  (unless 'hardship' can be argued as stated above.  Heavy fine is (almost) a certainty - the courts can be unpredictable.  

Years ago I was working in a petrol station and a woman drove in on a bare rim - sparks everywhere.  Wanted me to change her tyre - she'd got to go to Ramsgate (about 40 miles down the M2).  So drunk she could hardly stand.  I 'lost' her keys & reported her to the police.

Nearly empty bottle of scotch on the passenger seat.  She was carted off.

I later had to go to court - not because she pleaded not guilty, but because she was trying to keep her licence. And she did!

simdeb:
i'm sorry but anybody speeding to that extent deserves what they get.  no roads in britian have that speed limit anyway.  what was he thinking?    brains are in my big toe!  sorry but i have reasons to feel like that and they are not pleasent.  all i'm saying on it is it involves an 8 yr old who sadly is not with us anymore.

JUST MY OPINION NOT GETTING AT ANYBODY

Xtremeteam:
if i was him id ask for a kiss & a cuddle as he is most likely *****,sorry to say that but got a load of now ex mates who have done the same sort of thing & now need lifts everywhere.

as the others say if he needs his license could plead guilty & try n get them to be leniant <sp>  & /OR get a good lawyer to try n  get him of on a technicality,
know a nugget not far from me who was looking at a ban for undertaking,65 in a 30 & dangerous driving,got off with 5 points & a £700 fine due to his lawyer,(wouldve been better if he had been banned though)

strapping young lad:
it depends

they do an average

and if the average is 100.7 it might be bye bye for 12 months and retake the test

what was the road conditions and traffic conditions like? i think they are contributing factors

and also how the coppers feel that day too.

littlepow:
If he has had his license less than 2 years, then you best get him a bus time table. Might be able to survive a full ban if been driving longer.
