speeding at 113 mph
Discussion
Hi guy's
New on here but looking for some advice
In novenmber 2014 i was caught speeding at 113mph on the m6 toll road, a few weeks ago i had the summons saying i have a court date on august 28th. It's given me the option to plead guilty by post or i can attend court, i was going to plead guilty by post. It's also says about my expenses then they can decide how much fine to give me. I suppose my question is, do you think i will get a ban or as being i have the option to plead guilty by post i may just get a fine, or even both, i have 3 points now and had 6 at the time. i know know one can give me the correct answer but has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

t on this thread :-)The form you've got is likely a generic one. If you plead guilty by post the likelihood is that they will demand your presence because they will certainly be considering a ban.
A straight ban is possible, but it is also a possibility that you could end up with 6 points and a totting ban (date of offence counts). Under the circumstances you probably don't want to plead guilty by post assuming it were even possible, you will want to appear in person, contrite, telling them why you need your car for XYZ (preferably others).

Being new here you wont be aware that most of the 'legal advice' given here is actually just people with no relevant experience or qualifications giving their opinions ( with the exception of 1 or 2).
You really should seek proper legal advice.
You should also be aware that there is lots of advice given by those in the enforcement industry with the relevant qualifications to prosecute who will be of no use to you whatsoever.You really should seek proper legal advice.

So telling someone to seek proper legal advice is of no use whatsoever?J
Brilliant!!
I will try to be helpful and answer your questions.
The court process is to first hear your plea, guilty or not guilty. To save you the bother of making what could be a long journey to court to do this you can use the post. Pleading guilty or not guilty by post will neither advantage or disadvantage you so just pleas by post.
The next stage is to hold a trial for a not guilty plea or, for a guilty plea, the court will sentence you. When you plead guilty or are found guilty then you can put some mitigation to the court that they can consider before passing sentence. This is the stage when you can try to avoid a ban. What form the mitigation takes is up to you and should be made honestly.
For 113mph in a 70 limit you will most probably be summonsed to appear in court because a ban will be in consideration, whether you get one depends on the magistrates and you. For 'you' read you or your solicitor or both.

Going to sound harsh...
... So you drove at 113mph, not very clever is it.
