raesewell Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 3 points each, looks like a ban unless you can find a sympathetic judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Shit! I think you're going to be bang to rights on those!And they're happening consecutively as well.You could get a brief to plead but that'll get costly!I'd try faulty speedo cable and try to get an invoice for a replacement part backdated to just after the infractions.

Bender Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Was this a mobile van?If you need your car for work and family commitments and it will have a huge negative impact you can go over and still retain your licence but that's got to be argued with the court, you may need professional advice.

rob m Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If they go for all 5 offences and using the 'totting up' system, it's likely you'll get a ban. Register on the forum below and ask the experts on there for advice. They have a wealth of knowledge. I asked them for advice a couple of years ago and they really saved my bacon. http://forums.pepipoo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Gutted for you mate . Which camera was it ? A45 I'm guessing . I don't know how this sits with your moral compass but you need to milk that Key Worker status for everything it's worth .

Six30 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 A thirty limit, 9. 14, 15,17, 18 over the limit. I know I’m a dick for this please no critical comments, I am anxious about the consequences and the possible ramifications. you got faster as the week went on.... imagine they are asking you to plead guilty via post ? which would be 3 points for each offence... if you decide to go down the go to court route it could be a worse outcome or as some one said pray the judge is sympathetic.... Feel for you mate, wish you luck or fill in your log book saying you sold it, back dated before offences , make up a name and address and go push your car into a lake.

Guest Richzx6r Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Oh shite James, as has been said hope you can find a sympathetic judge and push your key worker case and get a speed awareness course for one of them.

James in Brum Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 I’m not sure. Possibly. I have spoken with a solicitor to see if they have any advice or can help. They think they can help but at a steep fee. One worry I have is what about last weeks NIPs if I was speeding then too? There could be ten in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If you had been riding a chinese bike, the judge would have laughed it out of the court room, hell he might have even given you compensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be ten in total Well I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but if its 10 then you will definitely not leave with your license you're only hope is that you weren't caught speeding another 5 times to have any hope.I know that's bit what you wanted to hear but it's how it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
