69 in a 50

[Joe5y]

So, I finally received the offer and got £100.00 and 3 points.

[Super Sonic]

I think the reason nobody has posted the NIP for limit +10%+2 is because iirc the form where you tick the box to confirm you were the driver is on the back of the original NIP which is then posted back. Subsequent correspondence omits the speed.

[stongle]

Just for colour, bit outside the OPS efforts. I've just received my punishment for 102 in a 70. Took over 18mths from date of offence to work through the court system: 6pts and 1 week wage fine.

Ban would probably have been a better outcome, but is what it is.

Was dealt with remotely, was offered chance to attend or send in a statement of impact. Chose the latter, not sure if it was a better route or not. Possibly not as fine feels high.

[anonymous-user]

I would expect a fixed penalty with 3 points and £100 fine.

I got caught a little while back for 56 in a 40 and got the above.

Chill out, no need to be rude, this is the internet. If he wants legal advice, he should ask a solicitor.

Except a solicitor did fk all for me but take my money. The outcome would have made no difference if I kept the money instead and pleaded guilty straight away.

Fixed penalty shocker.

[ReverendCounter]

I think I've got one of these coming up soon. Cameravan, 71 indicated in a 50, dual carriageway and (somehow) a first speeding offence since passing my test in 2006. Let's see what the postman brings.

Doesn't feel like that bad of an outcome, although not sure what else you'd have to do if it was a ban (test resit etc?).
Reading all this makes me feel stupid and lucky, as I would sometimes be sitting at 100+, conditions permitting.

Nothing else, you will not need to resit your test for a speeding ban, would only be a short ban of a couple or 3 weeks and a fine, As stongle says for a lot of folks this is more preferable than having 6 points on their licence for 3 years

I think the main reason nobody has ever posted evidence of a NIP for less than 10%+2 (assuming that is what you mean) is because they don't exist.
I would think most people would also keep a copy of the original when they post it, I know I would

[4004]

Ah, I was mistaken thinking you still get points with a ban. In that case indeed it does sound better for a no points outcome.
If only you were given a choice

No, I meant 10%+2.If I had meant 'less than' I would have said so. Did you keep a copy of your NIP? I didn't.

[SS2.]

I don't think there's any disagreement that enforcement tends to start at limit +10% plus 2mph ie 35mph in a 30mph limit.

The quest is ongoing to find a NIP which alleges an excess speed lower than the 10% plus 2mph figure.

Does the three years start at offence or conviction?

My understanding is that it's from date of Offense if NO disqualification. However its from Date of Conviction IF it results in disqualification (this is per Govt Guidelines). Could be wrong though as I'm clearly not a lawyer / solicitor.

So I think its counting for another 16 months or so. No more motorway speedy speedy.

I'd only be taking a retest for a ban or the 6 points IF I was a new driver.

An offer? It's not like you can haggle. 'Thanks for your offer, how about £35 and 1 point?'

Correct, the points run from the date of the offence

You would not have your licence revoked and have to re take a test if you received a direct ban for the offence, even if you are a new driver, the new driver revocation rules apply to points only

Magistrates guidlines are to issue points to new drivers even if they might normally issue a short ban for the offence, if to do so it would affect the licence being revoked

Of course it’s an offer.

You can decline that offer and go to court, if you wish to.

Which, against my advice, is what my other half did. 80 in a 70. First offence. Said she would rather take the points than sit listening to a bunch of tossers telling her to repent for half a day! I kind of admire her in spite of my thoughts on it. 80, ffs, crime of the century.

[douglasb]

Why didn't she just take the fixed penalty that 80 in a 70 would surely have attracted? Fair enough that she felt that she didn't want to take the course, but that suggests that she accepted that she had been speeding and wasn't going to court to present a defence. Being found guilty at court involves a hihger fine than the fixed penalty (never mind costs if she went not guilty).
