Do you have a clean licence currently and is it just speeding as after a point they can push for dangerous driving too

Best solicitor is, don't speed in the first place, or failing that don't get caught speeding

I was shown a video a few years back of me doing 80 on a roundabout and then the chase afterwards with the police doing 140 trying to catch me but luckily they only got me on video just under the 100. Nice fine and points but luckily I kept my licence.

This is all good news, least it doesn't mean if your seen being naughty you have to take a chase for fear of a 3 year ban and stupid fine.
