some idiot cut me up so I missed my turn off
You're one of those c-units that swerves across from the far overtaking lane at the last second, usually hard on the brakes blissfully unaware of everyone else on the road, and unfortunately (for you) you met another one. It's a shame the both of you couldn't have a spectacular accident involving just yourselves and come away having learnt a valuable lesson.Cock.
If charged with speeding then:
- No automatic ban
- No possibility of imprisonment
- No criminal record per se
Likely outcome:
- Fine up to £2500
- 110 mph or under then 3-6 points or ban up to 56 days (SGC guidelines)
- 111 mph or more then ban of any length but unlikely to exceed 3 months (professional experience)
- No automatic ban
- No possibility of imprisonment
- No criminal record per se
Likely outcome:
- Fine up to £2500
- 110 mph or under then 3-6 points or ban up to 56 days (SGC guidelines)

How did the idiot make you miss your turn off? Interested - really.
I was thinking this too. It's hard to predict what you can expect, but I can't understand how the above happened in the first place.TooMany2cvs said:

I was zooming along the outside lane and was approaching my junction, I was sure I could get past those last three lorries and that fiesta before pulling in.
But the idiot in the fiesta decided to pull out to overtake a lorry so I got boxed in.
What a bloody idiot he was eh?
Anyhow;
If you were snagged you're going to court.
Wear a suit, be polite, don't make any stupid excuses like the one above.
Decide whether you'd prefer a short ban or points; you may be asked how a ban will impact you, and your answer may impact your sentence.
Many years back I was happy to get a one week ban rather than 6 points.
