Stopped for Avg 100 on M1

[BigBazza]

A friend of mine - honest it was guv - was stopped on the M1 on friday and the BiB had clocked him averaging 100mph exactly.
Does he face a FP or is it going to be a bigger deal than that? he has been told it will be a summons but what will he get from the lovely magistrates?
Any advice appreciated then I can put him out of his misery.

Thanks

A fixed penalty would come instead of a summons i think. If he is being summoned then the conditional offer has not and will not be presented.

Ahh right ok, so what do you think he will be looking at in terms of ban/point/fine then?

As a guide a friend of mine was awarded 6 points and a 28 day ban for 95 - 99 mph Also minimum £100 fine plus court costs

T'was a young driver with otherwise clean license. He attended court in smart suit & tie, was generally polite and didn't waste any time apart from mentioning that it was a clear day, good visibility and low traffic volumes.

They didn't really have need to use the car as it was during summer holidays.

Tell your mate to go to court in a dirty tracksuit, trainers and gold chains hanging out over his grubby white T-shirt.

Tell him to wear a burberry baseball cap and paint his index finger nicotine yellow.

Get him to practice his chav-English, innit, I aint, wikkid etc etc.

He'll get a 60 squid fine and a payment scheme of £2.00 a month with no real expectation of any payment at all.

My Dad got a 2 week ban and a £500 fine for doing 100mph on the M4 about 3 years ago

You forgot the free holiday and extra benefit payouts and also the possibility to claim compensation for stress while being told off by the nasty nasty judge.

RULE CHAVTANNIA!!!

I got done for bang on 100 in sussex on a dual carriageway A road, I got £300 and six points but did have to attend court and put on an oscar winning performance. General consensus was that I got off lightly.
