Yeah I did get a NIP.

I dont care I will tell you how much I earn...bearing in mind I have recently finished Uni so I was working at the local Morrisons throughout my studying and have yet to get a career going. I earn roughly £600 a month. Over 50% goes on the car.

How do you know its a ban of upto 56 days? I was told 1-12 months?
sorry but my vaux looks far better than the mk5 gti, thats why i bought it  :wink: faster too  :grin:  :tongue:

back to speeding
I got caught by cameras many a time (never by humans yet), paid lots of cash so far. The last speeding ticket was 90 squid.  :lipsrsealed:

If I could afford an ED30 earning only 600 quid a month, with the money I make now I should have a Lambo!

I was quoting the advice given to magistrates... there is a table that gives a speed range over the limit and the suggested action. The magistrate can then take into account "aggravating or mitigating circumstances" based on that they set their sentence.

The speed bands go up to 31-40mph over suggesting 6 points or up to 56 days + fine + costs, by my calculations you were, at least 48 over... that's outside the guidelines. So expect a ban of at least 56 days + substantial fine + costs.

The seriousness of the offence is why all are suggesting you seek the advice of a specialist in this field.

Remember these are guidelines only, depending on how serious the magistrate views the offence, should it come to court, you could find that the ban and fine are much greater or with a good brief much less.

BTW it is not how much you are earning now that they will consider it will be how much you are earning if/when it comes to sentencing.

Cheers,

Corgi.

....

Tricky! On one hand, if you stay living with your parents and on low-ish income, your fine may be low....But then your ban might be long to make the sentence more appropriate in its harshness as the court sees fit.

If on the other hand you have a job with your dad and are claiming you need the car, your ban may be shorter but consequently your fine greater.

Either way, they'll be out to teach you a strong lesson. I know we've all done it, but 118 mph for 2 miles in the UK is taking the p!ss and they'll slap you for it - Sorry!

Tesco offered me £1100 and Lloyds TSB £1200 but then i stopped searching because i got put on my company policy! but dont go by confused.com there will be someone out there who will do it for around a grand at the least

No accidents no points at all. Got 1 year ncb will be 2 like next may.

I surpose thats the reason why its high. I went to confused right now and did quotes on a gti. Best was 1500 quid still to much.
