Incorrect and it’s unlikely that the single justice will require OP to attend court.
Talk us through it. Sentencing guidelines for 100 in a 70 are 7 to 28 days ban or 4-6 points and a band B fine, and thats if it doesn't go down the route of a FPN. Also remember you're responding to a post that's over a year old.
Guideline is 28 days, doesn't make it the max once any aggravating factors are taken into account.
A single Justice 'can' issue a ban but won't as it will be referred to a mags hearing (if they think a ban is appropriate) for sentencing and to require the defendant to attend. It's one of those perverse contradictions in our justice system.

What do you think a sentencing guideline is? Hint: it’s not a statutory maximum.
agtlaw - do you see many people punished above the guidelines in your professional life?I've returned my NIP and now I'm waiting - really hope it's an SJPN that I receive next.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

I like that!! Always used my driving instructors advise, 'Treat Everyone Else as An Idiot'
Well that's a concise message, but I prefer not to think of my fellow road users as idiots. It's more a case of being aware that some of them might make mistakes that could cause me a problem, but by the same token I am perfectly capable of making mistakes that might problems for others, so there's quite a lot to look out for and deal with.I like that!!

As for the OP's problem, I haven't been anywhere near the M25 for a few years, but I can well believe it is not the place to be exceeding the speed limit by serious margins. I still intensely dislike the NSL, but I wouldn't demonstrate it in that area. In any case, I see little appeal in merely belting along a motorway, or any dual carriageway, for that matter. Give me an interesting single carriageway A or B road any day.
The OP was clearly unwise to do what he did; but given that I don't regard speeding as a serious offence, I wish him the best possible outcome.

This I found interesting

Look at their table of "speeding ticket reports by county"...http://www.ukmotorists.com/speeding%20fines2.asp?l...
Top of the list is 30 ticket, number 10 is 15 tickets.
That's not exactly a large data set, is it? It's somewhat akin to all those cosmetic goop ads on the box, with subtitles reading "84% of 31 women agreed".
