pid_38 is wrong aboput speed limits on UK 'A' roads. 60mph only applies to 'A' roads with one lane in each direction,
Speed limit on a two lane 'A' road with divide in middle = 70mph not 60 mph (from Highway code online) [assuming your driving a car and not towing]
Police (ACPO - association of chief police officers) guidelines states that up to 96mph in a 70 mph zone could be dealt with by fixed penalty (FPN). Note the starting point for issuing an FPN (as opposed to doing nothing) is determined by rule of 10% of speed limit +2mph (ie 30mph zone is an FPN at 35mph -> 30+3+2)
Im assuming however that this case has resulted in the issuing of a summons to court. In these circumstances guidelines state that 91mph would be the starting point for 4/5 points and a fine based on the earning of the person being prosecuted up to £1000 which would be reduced in the event of a guilty plea. (magistartes guidelines)
An example of a case of someone doing 91mph in a 70mph zone (albeit on a motorway in this case) resulted in 5 points and a fine which was mostly determined by his salary not the speed.
(from the magistrates association).

Little legs, they run after the motor vehicle and interior the journey that they seize up with then you definately your 'it' Or, there's a (radar) sensor contained interior the yellow field that measures the cost of each and each element created from metallic that passses its beam, and if it is going speedier than the set %, it is going to set the digicam to take 2 photographs. somebody in an place of labor seems on the photographs and sends you a letter inviting you to pay a great, or bypass to court docket reckoning on the registration plate quantity to locate the address of the registered keeper of the motor vehicle. The strains on the line are to calibrate the digicam. The strains are a confusing and right now, standard distance aside. the two photographs are taken at a common era. utilising this it would desire to be calculated the cost of the autos passing it from the photographs and likewise used as a make valuable that the digicam is working ok. some digicam face in process you and a few away, those in process you're able to be able to get sufficient information of your face to exercising consultation consultation who replaced into applying - so smile at them.

The legal speed on any "A" road is 60mph and not 70mph unless you have special roads where you live. As it states in the highway code national speed limit on "M" roads is 70mph and 60mph on "A" roads, so infact you were actually 31mph over the limit, and not 21mph. 30 and over the speed limit normally carries a min of 28 day ban maybe points and a fine, unless your really lucky and have a kind hearted panel when you go into court.
But good luck. i got the ban when I done 95 in a 60.

There are sentencing guidlelines, so it is incorrect to say 'it's up to the court'. Looking at a minimum of 3 points and £60; the rest can be varied by whether an early guilty plea is put in.

3 points and a £60 fine is what my hubby had - he was doing 85 on an 'A' road and it was 2 years ago.

I am a copper, firstly, bad luck for being caught mate, its our job to keep you, and others safe on the roads and streets, no matter what you might have heard, if it is a camera that has `clocked` you then you have only yourself to blame (i have 6 points on my own licence, so no-one is immune) but as for the fine/ban, that is up to the magistrates, go in humble and sheepish, be apologetic and keep your fingers crossed.!

3 points and a £60.00 fine. You will usually get a ban if you go over 100mph so you were lucky, and as the limit was 70 then I presume you were on dual carriage way. If it werent you may get a ban.
