66mph in a 40mph speed limit
Discussion
Magically 25 over its hard one 6 points I recon and 300-400 fine plus 65 victim surcharge, depends on income if your lorry loaded maybe more.
Unlikely to get a ban unless u upset the jp, but it's an option.
Be contrite I wouldn't bother with a solicitor but u wanna blow 200 plus on one knock yourself out. Be contrite point out clean licence normally doesn't happen. Etc etc.

If it helps, I took delivery of the Mark 7 GTI Performance Pack on 14/3/14 and have covered c.4.5k since including a Top Gear inspired "lap of Scotland" last week alongside a Gen 2 997 C2S convertible and an Ariel Atom 3. Come rain or shine the GTI delivered and was not embarressed in such company. It does have its flaws (upright driving position / thirst for fuel) but I can honestly say I have never owned such a complete all rounder before. So, it was extremely comfortable on the motorway on the way up from Surrey to Dumfries (where our journey started) and then more than capable of shifting along the various B roads along the coast, Lochs and mountains.
I think the expression is:Reap what you sow...

65 victim surcharge
umm, excuse me?? victim surcharge??? who the hell is the victim here?? did anyone get hurt, did anyones property get damaged, did you did anything happen that would cause anyone any sort of pain, anguish, damaged goods or anything else??? ill answer that one for myself, No, nothing happened other that some one drove a bit too fast, I might be wrong here, but would driving a bit quicker that the posted limit actually cause less damage to the road as you are spending less time on that bit.
just another way to get even more money out of someone by dressing it up as something else.

Notice of intended prosecution followed by summons to appear before the local magistrates, full clean license, likely outcome and any advice appreciated.
The fine is based on your income. Band B is your net weekly income. You're generally given one-third off as credit for a guilty plea at the earliest opportunity. Therefore, the fine will be less than your net weekly income. You should complete the means form (should be with the summons) and take it to court. If you don't have a means form then I will send you one upon request.I'm assuming you weren't on a motorway. Therefore, the maximum fine is £1000.
The victim surcharge is 10% of the fine value with a minimum amount of £20 and a maximum amount of £120 (actually £100 here).
Prosecution costs are likely to be around £85 and awarded in full.
I've attached the national sentencing guidelines as used by the magistrates court.
You are at risk of a disqualification of 7-56 days, alternatively 6 points.
For reference, West Yorkshire has a local guideline of 7 day disqualification for 66-68/40.
The advantage of a ban is that points are not also imposed.
You should not return any of the paperwork sent to you.
Email the court, quote the case number, tell them your intended plea.
The next part is strategic and depends on whether you would prefer points or a short ban. I'd prefer to keep this bit off the forum. Email me if you like.

So the plod who gave me a FPN and 3 pts for 67 in a 40 did me a big favour 
Yes, lucky as 66/40 is the point at which a summons is usually issued. Top guy then

On an unrelated note, I was looking at your profile, as I suspect I may need someone like you in the future.I'm assuming you weren't on a motorway. Therefore, the maximum fine is £1000.

Anyway, just for info, the web address in your profile doesn't seem to work, it just loads a blank white page.
Maybe it's just my crappy machine though
