Driving ban

Got caught doing 84 in a 40 last night and banned (you win some you lose some), anybody got experience with serious motoring offenses? anyone know how long i will be banned for? the woman copper in the car says a min of 3 months and a max of 12.

Its not all bad tho, i can take the opportunity to save money and make it faster

hmm not really good news that. did they automaticly ban you there and then? to be fair it could go either way, you may even lose your licence cause of it, its up to the courts on the day.

they told me it was a ban there i think to shit me up (which worked) but when i asked how long for ect they gave me an i dea and said it was up to the court.

ok, so we still have a week or 2

probably a month or 2 knowing the police

depends cuz sometimes you can be waiting months for a court date as tesh was sayin, he waited like 6 months! all depends on the courts

Yeah I got banned last year dude, its not a big problem. Dont worry about it!

Is this your first offence? If so they are more leaneant on first offenders.

I was caught doing 102mph on a 70mph dual carridge way during the day round a bend.

I got a 21 day ban and £100 fine. The reason being I paid £100 for a lawyer to right out a script for me to say in court. Plead guilty, you will get a discounted sentance.

If ya want any advice this is where I went.

HTH dude!

dude not good.
i think its a ban if you do twice the speed limit, depending on the mood of the judge that day its aywere from a few weeks to 6 months and fines from 100 right upto 1k.

just please guity as sin though. they wont be so hard on your ass.

shit man thats gutting. where did you get caught?

id defo plead guilty man, they go alot easier on you.

Unlucky mate!

I was up for a ban when i had my nova (yes nova!!) 4 years ago.
I was caught by the 5/0 doing 104 on the M54.

I waited a month before getting my court date, and at one point had give up and thought i'd got away with it, until that white envelope with red writing dropped through the letterbox!

At court i was told by the duty solicitor i was easily looking at a ban, and to be fair, considering he was supposed to be on my side, he was a complete cock. (basically one of those 'i drive at 27 in a 30 as its safer' w**kers)

However having a dad as a copper proves useful at times so i went prepared!!

I told them that there was no way other than using my car i could get to work as public transport didn't even go near, and it was to far to cycle or walk, so if they banned me, i would lose my livelyhood, and it would be hard to find work in that field again.
Also i told them that i had to travel to see my G/F, so i would lose her.

Because they cant just physically wreck your life, as the punishment has to fit the crime, i got away without a ban and took 6 points and a £200 fine with me.

Just think about what your going to tell them, admit it, and say your sorry.

I think i will do that, my car is my life
