speeding - 88 in a 70 zone
A friend of mine at work was caught doing 88 in a 70 zone. She wants to know what the punishment will be, it's a first offence if that
helps................

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

I got caught a couple of years ago. 85 in 70 (motorway). Standard £60 fine and 3 points. The speeding code is an SP50 which my affect insurance but it
was my second offence.

88mph in a 70 will be points and fine. Not sure how many, somewhere between 3 and 6 depending on the mood of the police officer or court that day.
Anything over 100mph in a 70 is a mandatory ban (unless you are an off duty police officer or MP....)

It will most likely be SP50 - 3 points, 60quid congestion charge.

Anything less than (eeek, can't remember but its above 88) should be an automatic 3 points and 60 pounds, no need to go to court unless you want
to contest it.
They did have a while ago the magistrates guidance for what sentence to pass under what circumstances on line. I think it was via the peepedo web site
or something similar.

according to http://www.ukspeeding.co.uk/SpeedFines.htm it's a fixed penalty up to 95mph.
I take it 88mph was her recorded/actual speed rather than indicated speed (according to the speedo)?
If it isn't broke, fix it until it is

I got caught once on a Honda CB900 doing 126.7 mph, before there were fixed penalties.
I had to appear in court and the swine fined me £126.70. Which was about three weeks wages in those days

 happy I could amuse you
In those days the average fine for speeding was around £10. Nearly bankrupted me, no points on my licence though

95mph i think is the cut off

Check the offence code, I got done for 75 on a 60 road, rozzers gave me an SP60, about 18 months later I read it should have been SP30, queried it,
they couldn't find the docs, or had logged it wrong.
Points removed, £60 refunded ..

there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to speeding - a lot of speed cameras will issue a standard deemed acceptable by the courts punishment -
if however you are caught by a car and the conditions were less than favourable then the punishment can be increased - taking the old its a limit not
a target argument and you should drive at what you feel is appropriate considering road conditions - however having said that ... I would be surprised
if she got more than 3 points and standard fixed penalty

Me neither.
Horse whipping, that's what they want.Speeders, hang them all. No, hanging's too good for them. Sorry got a bit carried away there, might
she get away with a speeding awareness course and forgo the points ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

She's going to be thrown in prison, given coal and wee to eat and drink for the next 375 years the evil baby killing world destroying puppy
kicking woman!
Nah looks like points and a fine otherwise they'd have said something otherwise, I got £60 and an sp30 for doing 49 in a 30 so I imagine
she'd get the same
