Gents I wasn't asking for legal advice, or someone to sign in blood as to the final bill. However, as a website full of 1000's of petrolheads, who lets face it, mostly probably enjoy a spirited drive, are statistically quite likely to have been caught at some point.
Sadly I am not a multi millionaire and i would like to at least get a sense of whether im looking at footing a bill for 100's or 1000's....one has to budget you know.

Took all of 30 seconds.
HTH.
hey fellers lets cool it a bit,
I suspect OP was asking what others might have had as punishment for a similar offence.
All magistrates are different, but they have a clerk at court who "helps" them with legal matters, they then decide within the guidelines what they wish to do.
I hope OP does enlighten us once all over I am curious
cheers it's Gin o'clock in 7 minutes !

Assuming a clean licence and an early guilty plea with some reasonable offence and personal mitigation then the most likely outcome in your case:
- 6 points
- Potential fine of £1000, but the actual fine imposed will be commensurate with declared income and the stage at which a guilty plea is entered; see below.
- Prosecution costs £85
- Surcharge imposed at 10% of the fine. (Minimum £30. Maximum £100)
Assuming over £120 pw then your wife’s net weekly income is N. If N exceeds 1000 then N=1000. Following a guilty plea at the earliest opportunity, the most likely fine is N and the sentencing range is 5N/6 to 7N/6. However, whatever the offender’s income, it is unusual to impose a fine in excess of 75% of the maximum. If the court does not have any income data then N is assumed to be 440.

I got done doing 53 in a 30 through temporary road works at 1am. £600 fine and 6 points. I managed to pay it off in installments over a period of 6 months.
Thank you, much appreciated There's a link to the sentencing guidelines above and agt knows his stuff.
He is a specialist motoring lawyer and his is the best answer you will get on here.

I was saying the opposite. In the same way bus lanes have pretty much become for buses, taxis, cycles and the well off.
