If you ARE Guilty of a Speeding Offence
Our solicitors strive to accomplish a victorious outcome in every case but If the courts insist on penalty points, a driving ban or a fine we can be on hand to make sure a fair result is obtained, ensuring you receive at the absolute minimum or prevent them being imposed at all.
Speeding Fine Penalties
There are sentencing guidelines to help Magistrates decide what penalty to impose; and as you’d expect, the higher the recorded speed, the likelihood of disqualification becomes greater.
The speed you were driving, any previous convictions and your ability to pay a speeding fine are also, all taken in to account by the magistrate.
You Could face a fine of up to £1000 (£2,500 for motor way offences), between three and six fixed penalty points on your licence and a discretionary driving ban.
Read our points chart below for the Penalty Point Guideline.
Points Accumulation or “totting up” is one of the main reasons drivers or motorcyclists can be disqualified. If a driver or motorcyclist reaches 12 or more penalty points within a three-year period, the court must impose a disqualification of at least six months, unless there are "special reasons" why it shouldn't.
You could try arguing that a ban would cause you hardship, but it must be ‘exceptional’ for the court to be able to take it into account when deciding a penalty – for example, losing your job is not always considered to be an exceptional hardship.
