Anyone going to the British Mini Day @ Himley Park on the 12th May??? It is being organised by the British Mini Club.

Had a great weekend bombing round the small roads of SW Wales.

This site might help you speeders

The Verdict
You were caught driving at 103mph on a motorway. The maximum speed that you can drive your vehicle on this class of road is 70mph. You were doing 33mph over the limit. As a guideline, the penalty for exceeding a speed limit of 70mph by 33mph is a fine of £150 to £600 and an endorsement of 6 penalty points.

The fact that driving is part of your job can be put forward as a mitigating factor and may make the court treat you less harshly.

Will I lose my licence?
You have no points on your licence therefore you are not in any danger of disqualification through totting from a single speeding offence. However, in extreme circumstances, drivers may be discretionally disqualified for speeding offences if the court considers the offence serious enough to warrant it.

Can I dispute the evidence of a police vehicle’s speedometer?
To dispute this evidence, you will need to consult a solicitor. They should investigate whether the instrument was properly calibrated.
