Got my court summons on friday Court date 5th september for
getting caught doing 103mph.

Its inevitable(spelling) that im going to lose my licence,the situation im in
is that im a service engineer that relies on my licence as im a van driver and 99% of my work is on road.

What im thinking is would i be able to sit along side some one who has a
provisonal license so they can drive the van if i lost my licence??

Cheers

Nope, not unless you have a valid licence.

Same thing happened to me, well I was caught at 107. In my mitigating circumstances I pleaded that I needed my car. I got a two week ban over Christmas for my efforts!

So as long as you've filled out all forms begging, you should be okay. You might even get smacked with 6 points instead.

Good luck Luv

FULL and CLEAN license needed

chewyS2RST

i already 6 points as well

Adam_BlackRS

I got 6 points and a Ł300 fine when i was caught doing 101mph. Just plea, beg, and apologise. The fact that you need your licence for work may help.

Best of luck

Adam_BlackRS

Bend over and prepare to take it HARD !!!

just tell the manragistrates that at weekends, you are female and need your licence to compete in the MSA world touring car series, without this, your bustleing career will go down the pan and your life ruined forever

Graceland

oh, and it might help if you tell the 3 manragistrates that you swallow, and are willing to be made "air tight"

I think all of the above comes 2nd ......... you might want to try, if you can, get a half decent reason together as to why you saw it necessary to be doing that sort of speed in the first place!

LEE-RS

i second that the court won't just take your word for it need to take proof and
come up with a good excuse if you can aswell for doing the speed you was doing

RSTurboPaul

So you've already got 6 points?

In that case, I think I'd take a 2 week ban and take the time off work sick or something

If you get 12 points, you get a totting up ban.

And that's a minimum of 6 months...


Just don't forget - don't drive to court as you'll be fooked and unable to get home if you get banned

Rich_w

They get so many people for that. They come out after getting a ban and think "Well I better get the car home"

And promptly get nicked for driving with no license

dont break to fookin law you numwit ROFLMAO

Speed limits are there for a reason so no excuse really for doing 103mph TBH, not even an emergency.

Depends on what the limit was in the area at the place of the offence on how severe it will be considered and how hard you're gonna get bumraped by the man with the wig.

The only leg you may have to stand on is as people have said you need the car for work, AND plea that if you have no car, no job and no way of paying the fines, but with 6 points already, may be clear to them you don't learn your lesson and may make an example of you.

chewyS2RST

thats a great bit of advice you fucking twat,id never of thought of that.

chewyS2RST

i never said there was an excuse for doing that speed,and i never planned to make up any kind of dodgy excuse. i was going to fast and i know that.

my other points where both for doing just over 70mph in a variable speed limit of 60 mph on the m25,which really isnt that bad when i cover
over 20,000 miles a year,and they are due to come off my license in september.

RS500/364

Ring the court and ask for a delay till the others are out of date then quote and try for point or very short ban

It could be worse fella, I was told a story at the weekend of a bird who got clocked at over 130 in her beamer, then over the next two weeks she was clocked at over 100 again and clocked at 58 in a 30. Even though she was stopped the frst time she still kept speeding and the second and third tickets came through the post over the next two weeks. She'll be well and truely fucked, and rightly so.

2 mates have been in front of the magistrate for 103mph and 101. My mate with the 103mph got 3 points and sent on a speed awareness course. My mate with the 101mph was given 6 points and fined Ł600

Expect the worst then anything else will be a bonus

chewyS2RST

Well im ready for a 6 months ban and a Ł300 fine,just hope
i dont get the big Ł600 coz that will f*ck me.

RS500/364

Mine was 102MPH the video even shows me at up to 124MPH with undertaking didnt go to court
56 days and Ł250 pound fine

Big AL

I got 6 months for totting up, 6 months after getting my licence back i got caught doing 72 in a 30, went to court explained i needed licence for job and got 1 weeks ban when was looking at a year, Fine was heavy though.

From what Ive gathered udges dont give a toss if you need your license for work.

Where they do give a toss ( apparently ) is that if you losing your license, may affect other staff in your work hardship.
Or indeed it may affect your family ( sole license holder, providing for kids, elderly ??? )

Of course you could say to the Judge that it wasnt that bad of an offence. It was after all some 50mph LESS than a certain police officer deemed it safe to drive, who was let off without any charges.

turbo7

tell the judge u need your licence for your job and get a letter from your boss saying you are a good employee who is really valued at work,, feed him a load of dribble it worked for me... good luck

as above i got banned for 21days for doin 3 figures but i managed to get a character witness from a mate whos a police officer, and also wrote an apologetic letter explaining that you knwo you did wrong and youve never done it before and stuff.
Then see how much holiday u got if that fails and see if you could book it as holiday

Ginge !

as all have said, letter from boss, needing for ya job and others in job, you weill eitehr get 5 points and a big fine or a short ban and a big fine, they wont allow ya to sign on as it wasnt that fast in all honesty

saff_cossie

Mate I would not be giving that one!

That shows to them that you condone that speed in certain circumstances which isnt what the judge wants to hear
