ive been driving 6 months and got caught doing 56mph in a 30mph at 2:am what will happen???

Question

im from uk wales

Answer 1

Certainly what we all hope will happen to you is that you will learn never again to drive over the speed limit!

In reality, you'll just need to pay a fine.
In Wales, this is a three-point offense.

Finally, understand that at that hour, and that speed, you could easily have killed someone. There could easily be some old drunk fool out there wobbling down the road from a pub, without the sense or reflexes to get out of the road at that hour. It was dark--others can't see you as well, and they cannot judge your speed properly in the darkness.
You need to show some level of maturity to drive. I'd recommend you place yourself under some sort of voluntary "grounding" until you have gained the maturity to act reasonably. Say, six-months of not driving any car (hand your keys back to your parents until your self-imposed restricition is over) and not stay out past 10:PM for at least a month or more.
Grow up, act responsibly, and don't jeapordize other people's lives because you are too selfish to obey the laws that are put there for all our protection.

Answer 2

Say goodbye to that license and have a nice good long look at public transport.

Most new license are now under a 2 year probational period, (I know mine was, I'm just out of it) which I think allowed them points up to 6 before the license was recalled. You will most likely be suspended from driving for a period, and then you'll have to retake all the tests.

The issue of the time would of made a diffence if you was going at a 'reasonable' 35-40 but 60mphs in a 30 zone? You stand no chance.

Answer 3

I'm assuming the rules are the same as when I passed (you've started off with only 6 points available??) expect the worst-bear in mind you are doing almost double the speed limit, the time doesn't make a lot of difference-you & I both know that the traffic is less dense-there are much fewer kids playing out on the street (if you hit one at that time of day I think you should be able to claim from there parents!!)

Answer 4

The only defence you might have is if it was not obviously a 30 limit.

If it was obviously a 30 limit - you've made a potentially serious error of judgement that could have been fatal. The court will apply the appropriate penaly.

however, if this was a genuine mistake (no signs, no lights, etc) then you could plead your case. This will mean getting a solicitor and a court appearance. When you take inconvenience, increased insurance, etc. into account this could be cost effective.

Answer 5

Your looking at 6 points at least !
Why were you doing 56 in a 30 ? The speed limits are there for a reason.

Answer 6

This site contains the magistrates guidlines for speeding offences: http://www.pepipoo.com/Magistrates_guidelines.htm

If the site is representative of the courts in Wales then you should anticipate to get 6 points and possibly be disqualified for 14 - 56 days.

Answer 7

Depends on whats your reason for speeding, you will probably recieve a fine and points. It depends whether you got stopped by the old bill or flashed by a camera. If you got flashed you will get 3 or 6 points and a 60 pound fine. (You must have a good reason for speeding)

Answer 8

You most probably get 6 points a fine and loose your licence as I think you have to keep your nose clean now for the first 2 years from when you pass.

Answer 9

It is belolw the two points at which they 'throw the book at you'.
That is 'twice the limit or 100mph.

I guess they will make an example of you because you are a new driver. I advise you to go to court rather than plead by post and be as apologetic as you can. The magistrates always prefer someone to face their misdemeanour.

Answer 10

in case you get 6 factors interior of two years of passing your attempt you get banned and would take a seat the attempt back. How the line site visitors (New Drivers) Act 1995 impacts you in case you attain six or extra penalty factors on your using licence interior of two years of passing your first using attempt, ie for the period of the probationary era, your using licence would be revoked. the driving force and motor vehicle Licensing corporation (DVLA), appearing on behalf of the Secretary of State, will rapidly revoke your using licence while notified with the aid of a courtroom or fastened penalty place of work. there is not any precise of charm against revocation below the provisions of the act. you're able to basically charm against the conviction, which delivered approximately the revocation of your using licence interior the path of the convicting courtroom. All valid penalty factors would be taken into consideration while identifying no count if six or extra factors have been accrued in the two-twelve months probationary era. Penalty factors gained earlier to the 1st using attempt, that are interior the three-twelve months validity era, would additionally be taken into consideration. although, those will basically come into scope of the Act in case you incur further penalty factors for the period of the probationary era. additionally, penalty factors incurred after the probationary era has expired would be taken into consideration if the offence replaced into committed for the period of the probationary era. a thank you to regain your finished licence with the aid of fact the line site visitors (New Drivers) Act 1995 reverts your using status back to learner, you're able to stick to the same strategies as a everyday time applicant ie pay the present application fee for a sparkling provisional licence. An replace fee would additionally be charged while changing the provisional to finished. an entire licence won't be able to be granted to you till you acquire a provisional licence and exceeded the correct using attempt. finished entitlement to all categories of motor vehicle before held will basically be reinstated upon passing a attempt in any between the driving force's before held entitlements. A efficient attempt for entitlement to a classification of motor vehicle not before held will bring about an entire licence for that classification basically.
