Try £500 fine £100 costs and 6 points...plus whatever the insurance company charge as an admin fee when you tell them you have points,it's like being fined twice
They cannot find you not guilty...it would create a precedent for people to have excuses to speed...reality is....none of us do !They cannot find you not guilty as it is an absolute offence, you did it, you got caught, there is the offence. I will echo the appearance comment too. Suit, tie, look smart but not overly so. I once prosecuted a guy who turned up in magistrates court in what was obviously a highly expensive Saville Row three piece and was defended by a barrister, he got hammered on the fine as he could obviously afford it.
What is the speed limit on that part of the A64? Could make a difference if you were only 30mph over as opposed to 40mph over!its a 70mph
Sadly the letter M doesnt appear in the road designation I probably sympathise the most and fear the worst
Big Mac, i dont see the difference between a Motorway or a dual carriageway whether it is a A, A(M) or a B road surely the national speed limit is 70 on all of those?
