Hi All. Sorry for not posting any questions but couldn't work off a mobile phone so now on a laptop.
My question is what am I likely to get? No doubt I will be dragged before the magistrates! Whilst it possible I did do the speed, it not something I do all the time and a moment of excitement on a clear road I got carried away, I am regretting doing this without a doubt the speed was for a very short period as ahead the traffic started to build and I am mindfull of other road users and being on a motorcycle I am more vulnerable but also a motorcycle can decelerate far quicker than a car, no excuse I no but how do I approach this with the court. I am a very cautious rider as I am very conscious how vulnerable we are on a bike and as many cars don't pay attention to motorcycles you have to have your wits about you (in this case I obviously failed to see the camera van hiding on the side of the road because my focus was on the cars I was passing and whether they spotted me in their mirrors. I am prepared for the fine, but as it my first offence how lenient would the judge be? I travel a lot for work and do need my car to get to work, riding a motorcycle to work is a very rare occurrence, the weather on the day was great so I took the bike to work. Of course when you get the NIP, you feel like your world crumbles, driving to work this morning at the speed limit and seeing hundreds of cars exceeding the limit makes you wonder if the detterent actually works? thanks again! |

My question is what am I likely to get? No doubt I will be dragged before the magistrates! Possibly. That excess is in the new Band C range, so for a guilty plea it's a fine around 1 week's earnings, costs of £85 and a surcharge of 10% of the fine (min £30). Also, a short ban (probably 2-4 weeks) is quite possible or 6 points instead. Up to now, most postal pleas will be referred to Mags and you would normally have to attend. There is a new procedure where you can be banned without attending but follow the procedure and the paper work should make it clear(ish). It might be quite a while before you get the court paperwork - they have 6 months to prosecute. -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

Thank you for your help.
I am guessing a short ban is better than points? A pain for me to get to work for a few weeks or I just take a few weeks holiday and do the many DIY jobs I have on my list. I am guessing by showing my emotions and how remorseful I am and the fact I have a clean licence helps? Also the fine, do they expect you to pay straightaway can I ask for time to pay ie 50% on the day and 50% 28 days later. I know Devon police offer a speed awareness course for bikers based on antisocial behaviour, would it be worth me suggesting to the magistrate that I would like to attend off my own back? |

A court can not impose a SAC, and in any case your way above the limit for a SAC. I think the OP was implying some form of mitigation to lessen the impact. I am guessing a short ban is better than points? A pain for me to get to work for a few weeks or I just take a few weeks holiday and do the many DIY jobs I have on my list. Depends on your point of view. A ban would probably load your insurance premium more than points. I am guessing by showing my emotions and how remorseful I am and the fact I have a clean licence helps? They'll follow the sentencing guidelines closely. Aggravating factors could make it worse though, e.g. bad weather. Also the fine, do they expect you to pay straightaway can I ask for time to pay ie 50% on the day and 50% 28 days later. You will be given time to pay. You may be able to agree some repayment schedule with them.

Thank you JLC
Spoke to my boss this morning, who himself is no angel on the road. He says they will help by writing a letter to say I am a crucial part of the business with the need to travel substantially and without me being in the office which is 50 miles from my house and limited public transport it will be of great burden to the company, especially as my job involves food safety which affects the public, of course this is no excuse to speed and I am truly remorseful but these things happen. They day of the incident the roads were dry, sun was out, traffic was light at the time. There were no cars in front of me. |

Ok, that is helpful. The days of 'automatic' ban at a ton has gone - points are very possible. (But you don't get the choose unfortunately but can sway the bench)
