Notice of Intended Procescution. Any ideas?

[pnunn]

Just got up this morning to find a NIP on the mat. Dual carriage way, 50 Limit, must have been a mobile camera caught me doing 83mph.

I acknowledge I will and should be punished for this but has anyone been procescuted for a similar offence to give me an idea of the impending punishment?

Cheers

Should be looking at 6 points, if you get away with 3 you'll be lucky

[saaby93]

Can you say which dual carriageway? Theres a slim chance you could check the 50 was correct, most DCs should be 70 unless there's a particular reason.
However you'll still have bust it

A167 Cherster le Streel (Hermitage) to Plawsworth in the Durham area.

From memory you'll be over the limit for a fixed penalty, so a court appearance is likely. Short term ban (7-28 days) or 4-6 points plus a fine, I would imagine.

Your're outside of the range for an FPN, so will (probably) have an appointment with the Magistrates, where the following will be used:

What is a B&B fine?

What is under the photoshop sign in the pic? thats the bit I need to know?

Cheers for all the info BTW

A 'Band B' fine is between 75% and 125% of an offender's weekly gross pay, less tax and NI.

Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points.

I am going down the same road today in a while, guess I will be driving a tad slower!

I am 40 and not a blot on my licence in 18 years, gutted. Leason learned.....

You still havent said how you managed to get up to 83 leptons on a 50 DC
Was it obviously a 50 ?
Did you think 83 was safe?
What about the bunnies ?

There's 1/3 off that for an early guilty plea.

i was caught last year doing 76 on a 50 duel carrigeway which used to be 70 but was the police with a gun and bike followed me off the roundabout and pulled me and i got a straight 3 points and £60 fine, good luck at the magistrates

[littleredrooster]

It's a blatantly stupid limit down there. In the good old days, when I used to live at Chester-le-Street, I (and others) have seen 1.6 leptons on that stretch in perfect safety. Had to brake a bit for the left-hander after the railway bridge, though!

[saaby93]

Complain then
If most people are safely doing more than 50 it doesnt meet the speedlimit or the camera guidelines
Not sure if it'll get you anywhere but if no-one complains...

What you get for not allowing two men to share a double bed.

£1800 a head. Good job it wasn't a gangbang frankly. That could really have cost.

Anyway, 110 in a 70, short disqualification, 6 points (I have 12 to spare), and a small fine. Hmm, might drive a bit quicker than I have been as that's not the end of the world.

Speed limits and those who enforce them are evil - let your electeds know...
