Charge was read out, did I understand why I was in court etc etc. The clerk looked like a young version of David Dickinson and I kept expecting him to tell me it was as cheap as chips at some point!

The magistrate asked if I had anything to add, I said that riding a motorbike I know better than most about how dangerous speeding can be, this seemed to go down well so feel free to use it if you ever need to, I also said I needed my bike for work.

End result - 6pts and £245 fine which includes £30 costs and £15 victim surcharge (eh??)

I haven't had to pay any solicitors fees or anything.....

Bit of a result me thinks......

You can sleep again properly now

I wouldn't bank on that being fact. Having myself been in such circumstances as loosing my licence for an 'extended period' I did not have to take my licences again. Although I did have to wait an additional 6 months before I was given my class 1 HGV back.

Thanks.

Fingers crossed for TC now...

£160 fine and 6 points.

Very pleased, worked really hard on my mitigation pleau, and even managed to question the pc's accurracy without getting a bollo**ing!!

This was my second time back in court on this one, the opening lines were 'you are here to be disqualified do you understand that'

What a relief, just thought I would post being as I am about to ride my bike (very very carefully!) to work this morning with a big smile on my face!
