Any speeding offence which is 30mph or more over the limit is likely to get a driving ban of probably 1 month, but it could be more. It does depend on the magistrates and the severity of the offence. Of course you will receive a fine as well.

Depends on so many things. What was the speed zone? You said "Open road", I assume that means no speed limit, but then you wouldn't have gotten a ticket.
How old are you? All these are factors in what will happen.
You probably will have your license suspended (US Law), if there were other motorists on the road and you endangered their lives, you could get worse.
It all depends on your attitude and appearance when you stand before the judge. Be meek and full of regret (sincere regret) and you may just face a hefty fine. That's on the outside chance. I still bet on you loosing your license for a while, it all depends on your age.

To be honest, I guess we are all guilty of speeding at some time or another. But during the day on an A road?
Sorry mate, but as everyone else has said, you are looking at a ban and fine. (think yourself lucky that it isn't a custodial sentence)
Moral of the story? DON'T SPEED!!!

To be doing that speed on an A road is madness. If it were on a motorway it wouldn't be quite so bad. But it was not, so presumably there were pedestrians around. You deserve to have the book thrown at you, your licence taken away. It's people like you who cause accidents and kill innocent people.

You are likely to be disqualified from driving and to recieve a fine.
In some areas there may be options involving driving courses and similar schemes but disqualification and fines are the basic penalties for such excessive speeding

Unless you have a very good case to put to the magistrate I an afraid to say that you are looking at a ban, points and a hefty fine.

Going over 100mph, is a ban, and a large fine, sorry but your going to be off the road for a while, and expect your insurance to go up.
