Son #4 has just received an NIP for 106 mph in a 70, clear road, good conditions etc. He is 39, clean licence, well maintained 911 Turbo. He saw the trap, but too late, he will not contest the facts, but would obviously like to minimise the consequences.
Best approach please gents.
Appeal that you've serviced the Porsche really well and hope they'll reduce the prosecution LOLBest approach please gents.

There will be little minimising, we don't know what the road conditions were at the time.Best approach please gents.
If he kept in under 100 then that would have 'minimised' the impact.
He will get 6 pts over a decent fine or they can disqualify from 7 - 56 days.
If he has the means he could try a solicitor but the courts approach to 100 plus there is often little he can do other than if he is taxi driver, they get away with murder.
OP, do you think he deserves less punishment than a 20 year old doing the same speed in a 10 year Fezza which has missed a service? 
He's an adult who I presume is reasonably intelligent given that he owns a 911 Turbo so he should be able to work out himself that over 70 means a fine and 3/6 points, 100+ is a possible ban and associated hassles as a result.

I got done at 110mph on the M25 a few years back, with some (false) aggravating accusations/S59 at the same time.
I had AGTLaw on here draft my mitigation statement, I turned up, dressed smartly and read it politely on the day. I also made a very large pension contribution to lower my net income substantially (they ask for net income on the form).
This ended up with 6 points and a £300 fine (plus costs etc.)

Why? My 6 points (SP30) expire on the 26th of this month and made no real difference to insurance premiums for the last 4 years.
Why sit with 6 point on your licence for 3 years (meaning you're only 6 points from a 6 month totting up ban), when you can get no points and a couple of weeks off driving. Very little difference with insurers either way.

He does have the means, but is not a taxi driver.

I have no idea what a Fezza is, so I don't know what they are designed to do safely. A missed service may or may not indicate poor maintenance and a defective vehicle. He is my son, so I am hardly impartial, thus not best qualified to judge.He's an adult who I presume is reasonably intelligent given that he owns a 911 Turbo so he should be able to work out himself that over 70 means a fine and 3/6 points, 100+ is a possible ban and associated hassles as a result.

Was this on a NSL dual carriageway or a motorway?
N/S/L dual carriageway, I believe.The Rotrex Kid said:
Best course of action, as always, IMO, is to contact AGTLaw and pay for advice.
That too I will pass on thanks.cheesesliceking said:

Me neither. 
Thanks all; I'll send him the link to this thread.

Yes you are...Back to the original post;
If a 39 year old Porsche driver can't even seek his own advice by using the internet (and relies on his dad) what chance does he have of worming out of a fine and ban to remind him maybe not go at a difference between killing someone or not when they get there license back.

If you could be bothered to learn to spell licence, construct a sentence, and understand the difference between their, there, and they’re, perhaps your father would take the trouble to help you.
