Magistrate guidelines suggest that a CoFP would be offered for 94 in a 70. |

Probably easier to help if you post the NIP Wizard response in the thread.
You can't appeal the offer of a Fixed Penalty, but if it did end up going to court you'd probably receive the same amount of points and a higher (means tested) fine. Generally speaking though if you're within the guidelines for a CoFP you'll get one unless there were other aggravating factors involved. |

Generally speaking though if you're within the guidelines for a CoFP you'll get one unless there were other aggravating factors involved. No at 94 mph you are still eligible for a Fixed Penalty for 3 points and £60 with most police forces but if you don't get one or refuse one and end up on court you will be on risk for 4 to 6 points (magistrates court sentencing guidelines then apply) and even a possible short ban (unlikely in reality unless your speed is at least 95mph or more and nowhere near a reasonable certainty till you hit 100mph). The bottom line is that anyone offered a Fixed Penalty for 91mph to 95mph who is offered a Fixed Penalty should rush to accept it and only anyone who is utterly convinced of their innocence and being able to prove it should risk refusing a fixed penalty and going to court instead if they were travelling between 91mph and 95mph. |
