57 In a 30

[mcg123]

Work colleague caught by a camera doing 57 in a 30 - he is 19 and had a licence for 15 months - what is the possible outcome - is it a court appearance?

I would think so - and how long does he need a licence for before the 6 points leads to a ban, rather than 12 points?

Assuming this is the first full licence held, acquiring six (or more) points in the first two years means a retest - Streaky

19 year old doing nearly double the speed limit? A long banand a retest, I would have thought.

That was my first thought.

Yep - 57 would be more like 60-61 on the speedo - in a 30 FFS.

Yes. And tell him to make sure he gets a lift to court - he'll need a ride home.

I think anything short of causing a serious or fatal accident in situations like that is luck enough. Anything less is less is well deserved

Do you know the road in question, then ?

Lucky, exceedingly. How many others would get off that lightly?

Lack of consistency between mags courts anyone?

That's beyond lucky, IMO..

situations of doing 57 in a 30. 30mph limit must be there for a reason

57mph in a 30mph?! are you seriously suggesting thats not absolutely ridiculous? A guy at work (17) was bragging about getting up to 80mph in a 30 zone the other day. I nearly took his head off. It's penises like that that meant I struggled to insure a car until I was 21.

Grow up, bellend

The inference is that the lad received a Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty (ie he did not attend court)..

I have to say though that something doesn't quite stack up here - its effectively unheard of for an allegation of almost double the posted limit to be dealt with by COFP (even more so considering it involved scammers, rather than proper police).

Perhaps a cock-up at scammer central resulted in a CoFP being issued as opposed to a summons; perhaps it wasn't a 30mph limit; perhaps he wasn't doing 57mph; perhaps...

26 over the limit and that can only be dealt with by the court.

The magistrates guidelines for that speed are 6 points or a ban.

Either way, he needs to find an alternative method of transport in order to get to work until he can retake his test or sit out a ban.

So, what about a 30 exiting a village in a former NSL?

My word you're an angry fellow. Do you know which road this chap was on? There are quite a number of 30 limits that are not littered with un-accompanied babies, kittens and old people you know.

Don't confuse an arbitrary number on a stick as the be-all-and-end-all of a situation.

You bellend.
