Firstly

Ensure that the NIP clearly shows the details correctly IE full reg date and time are correct and that it is their car

They can ask for a copy of the photos too but this is normally charged for now

Then does the NIP suggest that they are willing to deal with this through the fixed penalty process ... if so take the 3points etc

The new laws that are being talked about with lower points for lower speeds are confusing matters in the courts at the moment and make it easier to get a lower ban etc

Is the NIP just a nip or does it have a date saying come and see us in court ie a summons

Then

Once you have these decide on the following things

1. Why were they doing 103mph
2. What were the road conditions ie traffic flow , weatehr etc
3. Any previous
4. What outcome is acceptable for them

if its a summons they are looking at a potential ban write back to the police/cpourt saying yes you was doing it etc and the reasons why

Ie your were rushing to get back to your missus cos she was having funny pains etc

Then this is called your mitigating circumstance for the offence

This will only give the courts the reasons as to why your speeding

THEN you need to help them understand the reasons why they shouldnt ban you this is called mitigation also , sometimes known as EXCEPTIONAL HARDSHIP

You need to show that if your banned your job is at risk etc and your home

You shoudl also play the card of teh baby that is you work approx 30 miles from home and you commute if you lost your licence it would be incredibly difficult to get back if things go wrong (proof of bus timetables and trains showing its a mare is always good)

if you do LOADS of milkes then you can show that you are normally safe and responsible

if your still not sure get your self representation

Mine cost me £2500 about 6 years ago and got me a 3 week ban and £200 fine for peak speed of 143mph and avergae of 114mph over 7 miles at 3am on the M25 Mutha fuckas

i also had 9 points on my licene at the time
