Passed in April 2019
Stopped doing 102moh on motorway in UK
Likely outcome and is there any point in him instructing a specialist solicitor?
Cheers me dears
Why did you choose to do such a speed is a more pertinent question for a new driverStopped doing 102moh on motorway in UK

He’s already had a course for speeding past a variable camera.
And it took him 8 goes to pass.
I refer back to my first line.
His dad is encouraging him to lie. About what I have no idea. To give him some credit he is point blank refusing to do that.

Lie about what? Say that he wasn’t driving? That’s about the only lie I can think of for this situation. Doesn’t work out overly well. Sounds like he’s lucky he has you as a voice of reason and sound judgement. He’s already had a course for speeding past a variable camera.

Just my two penneth, if he’s bang to rights little point in lawyering up. Attend court, look smart, be apologetic and remorseful. Take what’s coming and he can learn from it.
Will be interesting to see how the Mags deal with him. I shouldn’t imagine that sort of speed from a driver with 15 months experience will amuse them. OP Plse keep us updated with the outcome.

His court paperwork has come through.
Does anyone know. If the license is revoked After 6 points and he passes his tests again by some miracle will the 6 penalty points carry forward onto his new license.
I suspect yes, but it’s not completely clear.
If he accumulates 6 or more points since first passing a test, his licence will be revoked. This is an administrative process by the DVLA and, subject to not being disqualified by the court, he can continue to drive until he receives written notification of the revocation and the date of its commencement..Does anyone know.

I suspect yes, but it’s not completely clear.
He can retake a test at any time after revocation and yes, any existing points will be carried on to his new licence.
He works for a risk averse insurance company and gets 50% discount. I’m guessing that 6 points and a new license will put him out of their cover criteria...

My point still stands, removal of the bottom group will improve the average, even if by only a small amount.
Actually that wasn't your point which is why I was disagreeingKevinCamaroSS said:
It would weed out those that really should not be driving, this would bring the average up a fair bit.
My point as others have suggested is that you have no data to say how much driving would be improved by this action.Cheers me dears.
Good luck to them!

And probably the final update.
HIs license has been revoked. They gave 5 days notice, then took 5 days to send the letter... So it was same day!
He's allowed to apply for his provisional immediately, by post only. and then the tests...
Has he lost his job?HIs license has been revoked. They gave 5 days notice, then took 5 days to send the letter... So it was same day!

I remember I lost mine for a similar at 18 but I got 4 month and £800 fine just prior to the 2 year rule so kept the full licence.
Only difference I was in full time education and part time work not for a risk adverse insurer which seems an odd fit.
Seems a steep learning curve.
He's an idiot - but one they seem quite fond of.

Thank you surveyor for keeping this thread updated. Knowing how a story ends is so satisfying.
Let's hope idiot boy actually learned a lesson.
Now he's got his licence back, presumably he's also back in the "no more than 6 points in 2 years" chair?
Should be interesting.
I’m feeling benevolent tonight. Although he did an idiot thing he is actually a thoughtful caring and considerate person and making a decent go at life. I should give home more credit.Let's hope idiot boy actually learned a lesson.

Nice to hear he can’t land back in the same position, although i don’t think I will tell him that!
