A court date and, most likely, a ban.
Quite possibly with a hefty fine thrown in. My step-dad was caught going about 105 a few years ago and escaped a ban *very* narrowly by pleading he would lose his job, I think the fine was about £900. If he was going 12 miles an hour faster I doubt they would have let him off so lightly.

Wrong forum, but hey ho. Mods will move I'm sure.
He should expect a short term ban at that speed, unless he's very very lucky and can prove the exceptional hardship OTHER people will experience if he loses his licence.
I'd think ban, big fine. No points.
Has he had an NIP come through?

You can either get banned, or get points, not both. He should expect a short term ban at that speed, unless he's very very lucky and can prove the exceptional hardship OTHER people will experience if he loses his licence.

I agree with your opinion on outcome though.

Colleague got caught on camera at 117 on M23. What should he expect???
I did a 127 mph case last month. 60 day ban. He was on 9pp at the time. 117/70 is usually a 1-3 month ban. However, if you have 6 or more relevant points then they may be looking at a ‘totting up’ disqualification of at least 6 months.
A court fine is based on income. Hefty income = hefty fine. Low or no income = small fine.

Arguably the smaller your income the more hefty a fine is, in terms of income. 117/70 is usually a 1-3 month ban. However, if you have 6 or more relevant points then they may be looking at a ‘totting up’ disqualification of at least 6 months.

Is he still on 9pp when the ban ends or are they wiped as part of the ban? 117/70 is usually a 1-3 month ban. However, if you have 6 or more relevant points then they may be looking at a ‘totting up’ disqualification of at least 6 months.

Hence why I pushed for a ban as it voided the points.

If he was banned for totting, his licence would be wiped clean at the end of the ban.If the ban was awarded for the speeding offence, any existing points on his licence would remain until they expired naturally.

If I was on 9 points, I doubt I'd be doing 27mph, let alone 127, just to be on the safe side. I really don't understand the mindset of some people.

ks. If you're on 9 points for 3 speeding offences, and you get done for speeding again, you're an idiot. If you're on 9 points, and you get done doing 127, then you are so terminally fking stupid that you really should be allowed on the road again. You clearly don't have the self control or decision making skills to make you a half decent driver. Wozy68 said:
