97, should be ok? By which I mean, not a ban (unless you've got a load of points anyway?)

You may have 9 for a while then  ;)

I'm guessing, if you plead guilty (if they even take it to court, and don't just do a statutory thing), it'll be 6 points and 150 notes. Seem to remember somebody else on here having a similar close call?

97 on a NSL is below the usual ton+ where you get invited to court.  Unless it's a bad stretch of road you'd normally just get a NIP followed by the conditional offer of £60 and 3 points (or an invitation to attend a speed awareness course if you are really lucky).

Reading the blurb the speed awareness course runs up till 88 mph and it says dont think about asking for the course if you are over this speed :-(
