You wont get 1 or 2 unless you plead NG....and..the costs for doing so are potentially very expensive.......and why get a solicitor? What can a solicitor say that you cant? If you were speeding, guilty is the only plea......a solicitor is only of use for a traffic offense if you'er going to argue a point of law , i.e , not guilty and this is why etc.......But I wish you an outcome thats not too painful etc
As said previously, if your job relies on your ability to drive then it's highly unlikely you will receive a ban. Works for lorry, taxi, delivery drivers etc. unless speed is absolutely obscene. Footballers get away with it because they're 'too famous' to use public transport... There's a wide range of excuses around, and courts do take them into account.
If, however, that's just an excuse and you could quite easily get the bus or train to commute and your job doesn't directly require you to drive, and presuming you're not David Beckham, then due to the speed I would be surprised if you escaped a ban. :thumbsdown:

Still no word from the rozzers. 2 months after the offence. I'd rather they just bent me over and spanked me because the suspense is killing me at the moment. I can't think straight and losing sleep at night over the potential outcome!
3 and a half months since the offence - still no court summons! But I've still barely slept...
Only 2 and a half months left, I've told my friend that if the 6 months passes without a summons I'll go out for a drink for the first time since I was 17. Not sure why on earth I made that promise, probably because I'm certain I'll receive the summons between now and then, but hey ho fingers crossed

Can't see you hearing anything now. My sisters in law is a Sargent & thinks you would have had something through the door before now. Good luck

The suspense is absolutely killing me! I've driven like an absolute grandma since being caught out, so I guess the officer has done his job, but I wont hold my breath until the date passes.
At least I'll have a nice package to look forward to come December time - I've saved up some lawyer and court fees in advance.
Thanks for the reassurance! :driving:
Yeah I wouldn't be celebrating until the official time has passed. I'm suspecting that Kermits sister in law works for Police Scotland and we have a completely different set of laws and regulations up here and I've known people before we had one police force to get a summons 5 months after an incident.
Different forces in England and Wales will process at their own speed but fingers crossed for you.
In Scotland you don't even need to be cautioned at the time and can still be prosecuted later, where as in England you need to be cautioned at the time I believe to be prosecuted later.

Yeah I'm not going to start singing and dancing just yet. So come December time, 6 months and 1 day after the offence, am I best to give the courts a ring and see if they've heard anything? Or do you think that might bring it to their attention haha?
As public enemy number one, you hooligan, and as it was so wreckless you would have thought they have been keen to get you off the road asap.
As they dilly dally around and take six months it would seem they don't serious as they say when it comes to your day in court.
It is a right royal pain in the arse waiting for it drop on your mat. And I every confidence that it will. With days to spare as well.

Yes angie police Scotland
These threads always end up this way. I'm not saying there are any that have contributed to this thread but it's just a red rag to a bull for the holier-than-thou brigade.
I'm not quite sure why he shouldn't hire a decent brief. Would you advise someone guilty of another crime not to? A solicitor will make sure all mitigating and extenuating circumstances are taken into account. Can't see a lot wrong with that.
Good luck with the case.
