Caught twice on single day...

[Order66]

Work colleague came to me today (being the 'car guy' and supposed to know about these things), his daughter just received two letters from Police Scotland for two separate offences within a couple of hours on the same day (same journey). One was about 51mph in a temporary 40 limit and the other 63mph in a 50 limit.

Normally separated I'd say just send either back and take the likely offer of 3 points and £100 fine, and that was my advice (basically swallowing the 6 points and increased insurance for the next few years), however starting to wonder if these won't be dealt with as separate incidents, and will she be hauled into court and some higher jeopardy applied? Are the police systems joined up enough to detect these 2 happened on same day?

Search on "going unsigned" which apparently still works for NIPs in Scotland.

They are not the type to try play the system, so not going to even suggest it.

As suspected, 6 points, £200 in fines and a few years of painful insurance given the girl in question is 20, but the path of least resistance is to pay up - that's what I suggested. Thanks all for the confirmation.

If the driver is 20, has she had her license long enough to still be able to drive once 6 points are added to it?

possibly nearer 22 if I think about it - I'll ask the question, but sure she'll have had her license over 2yrs

One set for the wife, one set for the daughter surely?

is the risk of time inside really worth it for what will be a couple of grand over 4 yrs?
