Caught by a roadside camera van at 74 in a 50, hands up, my mistake. Looking to understand a likely outcome as while I can see that this is not necessarily a summons, though I am led to believe that this also isn't a 3 pointer and a 100 pound fine, possibly an SJPN but if anyone could help clear it up that would be helpful.

74/50 is too fast for a course but within the threshold for a £100 fixed penalty with 3 points. Google / AI will probably generate nonsense about a Band B fine with 4-6 points or a ban 7-28 days. If so then ignore.

It's a mistake when you get caught and a risk you take when you don't.
I doubt if many actually drive 50% above any speed limit without it being their intention to do so.
It's easily a mistake if you're distracted, e.g. come off the M180 towards SI doubt if many actually drive 50% above any speed limit without it being their intention to do so.

horpe on a straight bit of dual carriageway with nothing but fields around it for a couple of miles, in your head it's a 70 until you see the 50 limit signs...Alex9 said:

It is not Speed Matters as in speed is the main objective, it is Speed Matters where we talk about speed and all it's ramifications, positive or otherwise.
Why do you think it is pathetic to discuss somebody caught driving at 50% above the speed limit when they themselves have started the thread for discussion?

Yes, he made a mistake, have you never done that?I also got a NIP last week - first time in years - turns out I was on a particular bit of dual carriageway that turned to 30 for approx 100m where it intersected with another road. I mistakenly thought it was a 40. According to the paperwork I was doing 39 in a 40. Proper villain now.

Because you are, ha-ha is absolutely childish but sadly the limit of some folks critical thinking.
Oh I love it when posters use the "critical thinking" argument, as if they need to convince themselves they sound clever and are superior to others without in reality having the ability to display this superiority in a well thought out response

They started the thread to ask what the likely punishment was - and made no excuses.Sadly, as already stated - any speed related post these days attracts the "you should never speed", "if you can't see a speed limit sign you shouldn't be driving", "burn them at the stake" type comments.
