WavyD	A friend of mine, was done for speeding on the M6. He was doing 105mph at 7.30 am on a Sunday on the way to work. He fell on his sward, pleaded guilty and asked the judge to take into consideration the fact that he drives as his job. He was given a 2 week ban and a £750 fine. Needless to say he drives much slower now! Good Luck Mate. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

oklatom	Offer some help? Why? What do you expect? You won't be driving for a living any more, because you won't be driving any more, and that is the result of your behavior. No one forced you to drive that fast. GROW UP! Lecture over. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

alphacenturi	You need to get some legal help with this to plead your case in court. All your circumstances will be taken into account, it is a shame you have a previous 3 points becuse you'd be far better off with a clean licence, first offence, etc. Just learn your lesson, watch your speed in future and get a speed camera detector fitted. There shouldn't be any lectures unless anyone can honestly say they have never exceeded the speed limit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

little weed	INSTANT BAN. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shockey Monkey	Your banned buddy, over 100 is automatic ban. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

c.j.davies	It's possible you wil get banned BUT you may claim hardship that you need to keep driving or you lose your job. LOL - earlier you posted on here boasting about it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

simonbeever2000	Sorry mate but you ARE going to loose your license, you were caught doing 33mph over the speed limit, your looking at least a 28 day ban and points and a big fine, you drive for a liveing which the courts look at more severe than a normal license as you should know better, i know this from personal experience Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fred C	In Canada, that would be a criminal code offence, in the US it would be an indictable offence. In Manitoba, instant points and driver surcharge, in addition to the fines payable. You are going to get the lectures, especially in court. You are not a teenager, you are a professional driver. We hold professional drivers up as examples of people who know better. I suggest enrollment in a defensive driving course to start with, BEFORE you appear in court, to show a commitment to improve. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

suckaslug	As everyone on here says you'll either get a hefty fine or be banned that is unless you are a footballer or a celebrity who get away with this kind of thing a few times within a month. Fingers crossed it's a few points and a fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Marilyn M	that is reckless endangerment. I would expect that you will loose your license for at least a year given that you already have strikes against you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Charles AKA CeeJay	In a way my heart goes out to you, but especially your wife and kids. I am, as with others, afraid that unless the judge is very kind you will have both ban and fine. Note, no matter how good a legal hack you find, even the excuse that you were late for formal tea at your mum's house will not work. It looks like a choice of local work, borrowing one of your kid's bicycles for commute, and your wife's rain slicker for rain protection is the best option. It may come down to that or becoming an idler. Bloody tough, but I, with others are afraid your fate is nearly sealed. The best with it, especially for your wife and kids. If you will, tell us where you were going at that speed? Also, even if banned and fined, at least they didn't run you in. Being in jail would suck beyond words. Hopefully this will never happen again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PC Hater	Every likely hood you will get a months ban at least Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

"Call me Dave"	Spend some cash on a brief to advise and represent you, lie your head off, needed a Piss, speedo broke on the journey, mother phoned to say dad had heart attak, usual Bollox what gives magistrate who probably hit 120 on way in because he stopped to shag a tart en route an excuse to go easy, anyway you will have to be convincing to hang on to your license but avoidin a ban got to be worth £ 1000 aint it, and even then you will have 3 years do be absolutely bloody perfect or you do get bloody banned, I would get a non driving Job in walking distance of home if I were you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

roady42	103? Are you NUCKIN FUTZ??? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tikitiki	First, I would check and see if traffic school is an option for you/if you meet the requirements. But, I'm getting the feeling you're in another country, here in the US, a lot of the states offer that, if you take it it reduces your fine amount as well as the amount of points you'll receive. You might be best off getting an attorney, and see if he/she can negotiate some kind of arrangement with the prosecutor/judge. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

3 para	3 months driving ban.and a fine from £400 to£700.....if you have prievious probably a grand Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alter_Ego	MPG or MPH? If you are lucky you'll get a ton of points. You can plead with the judge that your job is on the line and they might not ban you. But as you've already got 3 points it will look like you dont learn your lesson... Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

҉Fuzzy҉ - ҉No-Nosed҉ - ҉Chimp҉	Automatic ban, and not much chance of anything less, best go look for a job that you can get to by bus. Celebs somethings get off with a big fine and 9 points usually because they claim charity work. The fact that you will lose your job and have a big family will not save you, as the judge will be thinking that you should have been considering those important things whilst you were driving like a wanker. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hendo	It looks like you're looking for a more local job. There is the solicitor that got Alex Ferguson off his ban, you could try him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

uknative	This has been taken from a website regarding Motoring Offences. (Link bleow) It was updated in August and I think a new Bill was passed in Parliament last week, which will do nothing to help those caught speeding. Sorry to be a Job's Comforter, but I think you should be prepared for the worst. Speeding on a Motorway (SP50) Offence : Driving on a motorway in excess of the speed limit Maximum Penalty : Fine not exceeding Level 4 Endorsement with 3-6 penalty points - Discretionary disqualification Comment : If you are driving in excess of 100 mph you are likely to be disqualified as well as being fined. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

john r	Put in a plea of mitigation explaining your predicament , they may feel generous , then again , check if your County are like Dorset, if you agree to go for training at a place they inform you of, they reduce the pionts, I would think you will get a further 6 as it stands at the moment plus a heavy fine, good luck I have 6 myself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gazpode55	Wow a 103 MPG, I drive a Fortwo smart car and only get 64 MPG, I take it you mean 103 MPH, Sorry Mr but at 33 MPH over the limit I think you can kiss your license goodbye for at least a year. Your only hope is you can talk the Court round. Good luck on that one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

honey lugs	Silly bugger. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Barks-at-Parrots	103 mpg? What were you driving? A lawnmower? If you mean 103 mph, you have no hope whatsoever, you better start thinking about another job. Sorry, not being mean, but the law is pretty tough on this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thegolfingjunkie	over 100mph is an automatic 12 month ban i think you'll find. you can always say its your livelihood but then it depends what side of bed the judge got out of Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dee	You really should contact an attorney. If you can not afford one, you can contact lega aid. Best of luck to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ashypoo	If you were doing 103mpG then they'll probably congratulate you for doing your bit to preserve our (supposedly) dwindling oil supplies. Assuming you mean 103mph, to be honest you're likely to suffer a ban of at least 6 months, depending on how the judge feels and what he reads into past convictions and penalties. Going that fast, you really can't expect less. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crippler	I think you can expect a kicking from your wife!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

oohbetty	Just be thankful you didn't kill someone. My friend was killed on his motorbike by a speeding driver. People who drive fast should be banned for life. Not a lecture just a statement. Sorry no sympathy! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

KENNY G	start looking for a new job...and stop acting like an idioit if you're a dad..... hello? responsibiility??? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Michael	103 miles per gallon is pretty good fuel economy! Maybe you could sell the formula to a fuel producing company. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
