Right people, as many people sent me messages of best wishes I thought I would update on the outcome.

Solicitor advised me to plead not guilty based on a number of technicalities. I took the decision to plead guilty, as to be fair I did do it, and submit the technicalities in mitigation.
This turned out to be a good move as the magistrates dismissed all of it.

The bench told me it was the highest speed they'd had before them End result was a 56 day ban and 360 fine. Think I got off lightly really. And thanks to working in the same office as my girlfriend, my travel hasn't been too restricted. Now to draw a line under it and crack on with life.

Not interested in the opinions of any moral crusaders, so don't waste your time. To everybody else, thank you for messages of support. PassionFord at its best
