Speeding cut-off limits for fines
Are there a standard set of limits for speeding, as to whether you'll just get 3 points and £60 fine or something more?
I know there are lots of theories and so on, but what about the actual guidelines set down (assuming there are any!?) Is there some sort of extra penalty once you get caught going over 25mph above the limit? (or is there something set at 50% over the limit?) Is it true about the "go straight to jail" thing if they get you doing over 150mph? |
Don't take this as law but i'm sure 30mph over is a ban :shock:. Can't remember who told me that though.

I'm always wary of hard and fast rules. Example is I was stopped doing 102 on a dual cabbageway. Thought I was up for a court trip and a ban for sure. Pleaded guilty by post, result came back 6 points and a £300 fine ... so you never can tell.
Usually though, yes 30mph over is a ban. |

Cut off levels
I`ve been stopped by the nice men in blue ( well some of them can be - lol ) and was doing 94 on the M6 - PC hlepfull told me that the county policy was 30 mph over = ban and 25 mph over was court date - but 24 and over was ok to be treated with fixed penalty.
Dont know how true this is but he soudned pretty sure of himself.... :roll: |
From experience....doing double the limit is a ban and doing over a ton is an automatic ban
