Guest aspire Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 is it a national speed limit? 60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 At least 6 points and a fine I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sounds like a close call. Always thought over 100 was always instant ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sounds like a close call. Always thought over 100 was always instant ban. Apparently it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 The officer said over 100 isnt a ban these days and he said i wasnt dangerous and conditions were good and also checked car and said car and tyres in top condition so got few things in my favour. I am hoping for just 6 points and fine. As dont want insuranse to jump up to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 How long was your run up for reaching 100mph because I see you're in an NA...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sounds like a close call. Always thought over 100 was always instant ban. I always thought this was the case, but only when your in your first two years of driving ? But I could be wrong. The fact that he put the speed as 101mph is also making me think the above.....

welshbuddy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 your insurance will shoot up :S. 6 points is the least you will get. sucks huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I guess that heavily depends on the officer too. Probably could have banned you on that if he was having a bad day. Got a goodun. Lucky though, 6 points wouldn't be too bad, wonder how much the fine would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 He was def having good day and he said over 100 isnt instant ban anymore, i expecting 6 points and 120 fine. Worst i think it could be is 9 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky though, 6 points wouldn't be too bad, wonder how much the fine would be. As for the insurance, I think mines probably gone up by about £300 maybe with 3 points. Best thing to do is check on insurance comparison website with the code you got and enter all your other details and see how much of a difference the insurance would be.

Scooter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 My experience of this was, I attended the magistrates court and plead my (genuine) case of a new job in the sticks ie difficult for public transport. I got 6 pts (I think that's the max you'd get) and a fine. Worst thing for me was I (as will you) had to attend the court near the offence (Loughborough) which was a massive pita and a days holiday lost. You don't have to attend but I wanted to try and avoid the short ban I might otherwise have got. Points is better than a ban in my experience insurance wise and it didn't make a significant difference having 6 pts but I was 25 plus at the time.

SPG Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Average speed was 101mph over 2 miles, you will be lucky if you manage only £120 fine I would think bud, best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraleeturbo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just asked my mates dad who's traffic and by law anyone caught doing over 100mph will get an instant ban!!! Sorry mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Paul Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have been caught speeding at more than 100 mph on the motorway. Is a ban automatic? Although the Police attempt to resolve most offences by way of a Fixed Penalty Notice, at excessive speeds, a Court appearance is inevitable. For speeds in excess of 100 mph (or more than 30 miles above the relevant limit) the punishment starts at disqualification as opposed to penalty points. However, the decision is at the discretion of the Court and in certain circumstances, a disqualification can be avoided. http://www.drivingban.co.uk/drivingban/speedingoffences/drivingbanspeedingoffences.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsia Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ...an average of 101? How fast were you actually going at peak dude? o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John1jz Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A couple of years ago I got caught doing 104mph in a 70. The officer said as the speed wasn't excessive for the type of car and road conditions I would get a fixed penalty fine of £60 and 3points which is what happened. I know of someone else who also got a fixed penalty for over 100mph on a motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have known few people got caught over 100 and just got fine and points. Am hoping dont get ban as need car for my job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ...an average of 101? How fast were you actually going at peak dude? o.O He was probably 'just' crusing and doing, 95-105mph for a fair few miles I doubt he was going from 70-130?
