Advice on speeding incident
Discussion
Hi I got pulled over by an unmarked car at the weekend on my bike for speeding.......they didn't show me any video or anything but said they followed me and have my speed at 90 in the 60 zone I was in which was a B road however it wasn't a country B road it was a road along side a motorway long and pretty much straight. They said it was above the speed they could issue a fixed penalty for so I would be reported and hear through the post with a court summons.
I have a clean license and never been in this situation before so any ideas what I can expect from this worse case? Presumably I plead guilty by letter so don't have to go to court as nothing to defend but what is the maximum or general rule of thumb for this speed? Or does it vary?
Appreciate any help or guidance.

I got done for a similar speed (91) in a 60.
Result was 6 points and £200.
I got someone to represent me mainly because I couldn't afford to get disqualified. He just said the things that needed to be said, clear road no traffic, licence required for job etc, nothing you couldn't say yourself I suppose.
