Whats my work mate looking at?
Discussion
^^^The guidelines suggest that he is over the threshold where the matter can be dealt with by Fixed Penalty.
If summoned and convicted, he would be facing 6 points & a fine, costs of not less than £40 and the £15 Viction Support surcharge.
If he is offered a Fixed Penalty, I suggest that he accepts it without any fuss and that he should probably count himself fortunate..

Hi,
My workmate has just got NIP in the post for doing 51 in a 30 zone. What is he looking at in terms of fines / points?
He isn't a new driver and currently has a clean license.
Cheers
It's report for summons territory. He won't lose his licence (unless he already had points), but he'll be looking at 4 or 5 points and £150 to £250 fine.My workmate has just got NIP in the post for doing 51 in a 30 zone. What is he looking at in terms of fines / points?

SS2 is right - this is fairly cut and dried. He will get 6 points, possibly disqualified for a few weeks, but unlikely (depends - was it past a school at 3.15pm?) and a fine of a week's wages, max £1000. And he'll get a good bollocking and rightly so. If he was caught doing that, he was probably going a bit quicker at some point, and is 60 odd justified in a 30 zone?
He will not get a FPO of 3pts and £60. Far too fast for that. And unlike some others here, I'm not guessing - this is what I do. :-)
