[BIG MAC]

As I understand it Magistrates sentencing guidelines may differentiate between A and M class roads in any case the Magistrates will be seeing 'non motorway' 100mph...however I didnt get banned for 103 on a motorway (sickening because I wasn't doing 103 but couldn't fight it) I got 6 points and £500 FINE PLUS £100 costs!

Yours doesn't look so painful ALA Pepipoo and putting in a made up salary just to get the thing to work

National speed limit is 60 for single carriageways (country lanes, A roads etc) and 70 on motorways.  If if single carriage way is a 70mph zone it would signed as 70.


National speed limit on dual carriageway also 70! unless your towing! but thats another can of worms!!

TBH Big Mac i didnt realise the disqualification is that short! is that if you had less than 6 points on your licence prior to getting an additonal 4-6? that could take you over the 12 ?@ how long is the ban if you go over 12 points?

If it was for IBS get a doctors note to confirm your wife suffers from IBSand below is that bit from the road traffic act but I dont see where it says that this can be by Joe public
