I have had a NIP through the post and am wondering if anyone has been in a similar position and can tell me what you got for it.

Here are the details:

92 in a 70

A3 - Non Motorway

Weekday at midday / relatively quiet roads

First two years of driving (18)

Clean past...

Thanks in advance.

Total speculation but I'd be surprised if you keep your licence. Get yourself over to pepipoo for more educated advice.

Hmm, The band states 4 to 6 points, 7 to 28 day disqual.

Given it's your first two years, you'll not want 6 points...

This is from the government website, you should get legal representation I feel.

New drivers

Your licence will be cancelled (revoked) if you get 6 or more points within 2 years of passing your test.

Points on your provisional licence

Any penalty points on your provisional licence that haven’t expired will be carried over to your full licence when you pass your test. However, your licence will be cancelled if you get any further penalty points that take you up to a total of 6 or more within 2 years of passing your driving test.

If your licence is cancelled within 2 years

You’ll have to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both theory and practical parts of the driving or riding test again to get a full licence.

If you haven’t sent off for your full licence

You must retake both parts of your driving test if your licence has been cancelled after you’ve passed your test, but you haven’t sent off for your full licence yet. You can use your current provisional licence to take the tests.

Who’s covered by the rules

These rules apply to all new drivers who passed their first driving test in:
•Great Britain
•Northern Ireland
•Isle of Man
•Channel Islands
•Gibraltar
•the European Community (EC) and European Economic Area (EEA)

Only if you turn down the inevitable Fixed Penalty (£100/3 points) available up to 95mph and go to court or SJP.

If you're young, (I guess under 20), what are you doing going at 92 MPH?.

Wherever you were going, did you actually gain any time by going at that speed?. Did it give you a big thrill?.

Going over the national speed limit increases your chances, by enormous factors, of something happening. It might be the actions of some other stupid idiot on the road. It might be the unroadworthiness of your own vehicle. Whatever the reason - you have now, possibly, got yourself into a situation that you don't need.

Was 92MPH worth it?????

Stick to ALL speed limits - they are there for a reason.

It is a new poster coming here for advice and all people seem to do is give duff info that will worry the OP needlessly.

He's a new driver and the speed was on an A road in the middle of the day, better that he's prepared for the worst rather than think he's only going to get 3 points and all will be fine.

What speed would you drive at on a 70MPH dual carriageway?

I would have thought that was self explanatory !

The only reason I did not got 92 in my first car at 17 was because it couldnt do it smile

I do feel sorry for the new generations, they wont experience the joy of a cross country blast without fearing for their licence every 100 yards.

At the same time and place the faster you go nearly always the higher the risk. But the figures clearly show that when drivers travel in excess of the speed limit they are less likely to be involved in an accident than when they are complying.

For the OP you missed the camera van, they are there a lot, despite it not being one of the places they are supposed to spend much time at, That doesn't help you though, the guidelines say you should get a conditional offer of fixed penalty which, if you accept, will give 3 points and £100

Hey-ho, off we go:

Doing what we've all done, getting there quicker.

Unless the laws of space time have changed (or he ran out of fuel and had to fill up) then he literally would have gained time going at that speed rather than a slower speed.

No it doesn't.

Stupid gonna stupid, no matter what speed this chap drives at.

Perhaps you have a point here but I doubt that things will break at 92 that weren't already breaking at 70.

Only bit of sense in the whole thing.

If he won the Euromillions jackpot after driving to the corner shop to buy a lucky dip, doing 92 on the motorway on the way there got him there before Mrs Miggins who would otherwise have bought that same ticket, then it probably was. Don't be so sanctimonious.

datum77 said:

Some of the reasons are based on poor data, or are there by default, and are sometimes worth ignoring.

I'm not going to tell you to get a life Manuel, because I'm the guy picking a stranger's nonsense that doesn't affect me apart on an internet forum, but I would perhaps get some perspective instead.

I got my first car to 100mph on the speedo. The manual suggested it was only good for 92. On an old works van the numbers ended at 80. The needle hit the peg at about where 90 should have been. The dual carriage way and motorway where i did those are now notorious on here for speed cameras. frown

It's scary how often people are wrong when it comes to speed offences.

You'll only get the new guidelines if you go to court.

You'll go to court if you have to many points on your licence already for it to be dealt with a fixed penalty ticket (nine or more) or if you are going to fast for a fixed penalty ticket (96+ in a 70). Or if you elect a court hearing.

OP it will be a £100 fine and three points.

He's a new driver and the speed was on an A road in the middle of the day, better that he's prepared for the worst rather than think he's only going to get 3 points and all will be fine.
On that basis, the worst is that he’s going to be done for Dangerous Driving, lose his licence and go to jail for two years. Along the way his DNA is going to be confused with another person’s and he will be charged and convicted with around 2000 unsolved murders.

That obviously isn’t going to happen, but why not st him up for the hell of it.

He’s going to get the offer of 3 points and a £100 fine which he should take. If he doesn’t then he’s going to court / SJPN and his licence is likely to be in jeopardy as a new driver.
