100 quid minimum fine now.

And for 96 in a sixy its gonna be at least 6 points and probbaly a few hundred quid.

Depending on any agrivating factors

'a friend' might just get a warning if it's a first offence.

Oh hes out of luck the threshold for a summons in a 60 is 86mph.

So court, 6 points and probbaly a hefty fine

Just checked...could also carry a ban...anything from 7 days to 6 months depending on circumstances and whether it's a first offence.

it was coming out of a few corners then onto a long straight, on the bikes we hit that road real fast, just as well he was in car and realistically it was only 36 over speed limit not taking into account speedo adjustment

30 over the speed limit is the threshold for an instant ban.

If hes got s toatally clear license he might have a chance but with a group of bikes with him hes likley to get off badly ban and a lot of points.

Cause they'll put it as he was racing etc

That's an interesting use of the word 'only'. It was more than half as much again as the speed limit. Someone I know got killed by a tosser who was 'only' a few miles over the speed limit.

Tbh a lot of the 60s and 70s could do with a speed limit rise to account for the fact rhat cars are way more capable than the ones that where around when the speed limits where written.

30s though need to stay at 30 because of the possibility of a pedestrian being struck with no chance of the driver being able to break so its a damage mitigation thing there

Cause speed is rarely a causal factor but an agrivating factor when you look at the stats.

Generaly the people who are the most risk i find are only going about 5-10mph as they pull out on you lol

sorry Wolf, I may have written that wrong, he wasn't on the bike, he was pulled over in car, I meant it was a fast road for bikes, where we come out of a few twisties and really open up, just as well he was in car as this is a fast road for bikes, and a location out in the middle of no where coming back from a race day at knock hill

I agree, however, exceeding the limit by 60% can't realistically be described using "only". 60% isn't a small margin.

Courts will see 60% as a lot, not "only" anything.

I realise stealing £100 000 was wrong but it was only £100k and some people steal millions...

I realise murdering someone was wrong but it was only one person and some people murder more...

It could have been worse isn't a valid excuse.

No judgement because I break the speed limit myself sometimes. I used to have a very fast car and was somewhat irresponsible. I wouldn't have called 60% over the limit "only" 60% though and I wouldn't have tried to justify it.

If you take the risk, you also take the consequences if you get caught.

A right i thought there was a bunch of you on bikes and him following in the car.

And they only caught him.

If they've set a trap it may be a blackspot with a few accidents which can count against him

Depends really as the guy who said it is a biker, ona straight empty country road the differnce between 60 and 96 is a twist of a fraction of an inch and about 1.5 seconds.

So for him "only" is quite valid lol.

Whilst I see your point, I disagree.

60% over a limit is not marginal.

Bikes are fast, yes, but bikers or drivers, if they are on the road, should be capable of sticking to the speed limit.

I had a car that did 0-60 in 4.8s for a while. 60 to 96 could be achieved quite quickly; not as fast as some bikes, but pretty rapidly nonetheless. I never considered it "only" 60% over the limit, even when I sometimes exceeded the limit by much more than that.

yes and no, my MV - F4 needs a speed of roughly 70-80mph to keep the cooling temp running fine, any slower and you watch the temp slowly rise, okay the fans cut in but its still a hot running bike.

but im going off on a tangent;

Is it correct you can request a speed awareness course instead of points, and if so, how do you apply for this

Court and a 7 day ban

Anything over 40% over speed limit (which is 84 in a 60) will be a temp ban. Upto 56 days but prob 7 if first offence

I'd love to hear the response in court to trying that defence in a speeding case!

If that is genuinely the situation, it's not a bike suited to use on public roads. It's that simple.

No, you don't need to be doing 100+ to get a ban.

It's far more likely at 100+ but perfectly possible at lower speeds.

If he was pulled over rather than the mobile camera vans I'd guess the traffic copiers report would have some bearing on the outcome.

Whatever the outcome 96 is a crazy speed in a 60 zone ..

Speeding in a 30 is particularly dickish. Not something to brag and grin about.

No chance of that mate unless your friends a copper

Mate of mine got stopped doing 94 in a 60 and got 6 points and something like 120 fine and 130 costs(or similar) without his solicitor I think he would have got a 28day ban.

I am no angel and have had points and done two speed awareness courses. My speeding was more a case of not keeping aware of local speed restrictions, but I cannot defend it. The main thing I have learned is that excessive speed means you cannot stop in a reasonable distance for the conditions. Even 5mph over 30 means you might hit and kill a child when you could have stopped in time otherwise. Simple. I drive in 3rd gear in town now.

Six points and a hefty fine at least, I'd imagine.

We can't have a situation where there's a speed limit, but "actually, the road's always quiet, so it's fine to go way faster" or similar. How would we ever decide where that was applicable or not?

There's a limit, we've got to have them, it's the law, stick to it.

I was done for speeding last year, so I'm no saint. Good - I was going too fast.

Sorry if I've sound a bit hardline on this, but I've seen two people killed in front of me in separate incidents because someone was going too fast.

"...and realistically it was only 36 over speed limit..

"Only" 60%!

Tbh a lot of the 60s and 70s could do with a speed limit rise to account for the fact rhat cars are way more capable than the ones that where around when the speed limits where written.

30s though need to stay at 30 because of the possibility of a pedestrian being struck with no chance of the driver being able to break so its a damage mitigation thing there

I agree, however, exceeding the limit by 60% can't realistically be described using "only". 60% isn't a small margin.

Courts will see 60% as a lot, not "only" anything.

Depends really as the guy who said it is a biker, ona straight empty country road the differnce between 60 and 96 is a twist of a fraction of an inch and about 1.5 seconds.

So for him "only" is quite valid lol.

Whilst I see your point, I disagree.

60% over a limit is not marginal.

Bikes are fast, yes, but bikers or drivers, if they are on the road, should be capable of sticking to the speed limit.

yes and no, my MV - F4 needs a speed of roughly 70-80mph to keep the cooling temp running fine, any slower and you watch the temp slowly rise, okay the fans cut in but its still a hot running bike.

but im going off on a tangent;

Is it correct you can request a speed awareness course instead of points, and if so, how do you apply for this

.yes you csn take the course if you're only a small amount over the limit.

For a 60 the cut off is 75mph.

For 96 he is going to court

can you request this at court, or by letter before court, or get a solicitor to request

anything but points"

For that speed not a hope in hell.

Hed be incredibly lucky to get just 3 points 6 a minimum really

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

Now it's all down to sentencing guidelines and probabilities and luck on the day.

He was 4 mph short of at automatic ban unless you show extenuating circumstances which means you turn up with a barrister, not solicitor.

The mags will sit there and assume the accused *already* got a break from the scamera guys at *only* being ticketed at 96

A *good* barrister *may* be able to make something out of the poor car driver terrified by all the crazy motorcycles and he put his foot down to avoid a crash.

I'd be expecting all of the following;

1/ a hefty fine

2/ a hefty surcharge for victim compensation (i know I know, they all do it now, an legal way of increasing fines beyond guidelines, guvvmint's broke innit)

3/ a hefty set of points, like 6 or more

4/ a temporary ban, 30 / 60 / 90 days

If your mate drives for a living remember to include this, a hefty set of points will make his driving job untenable for company insurance purposes, so get fined as a broke newly unemployed and not a employed wage earner

My own personal opinion is at 38 mph over a 60 or 28 mph over nsl (we don't know the road, guessing it was an A road so 60) you do NOT want to try and get cute and end up pissing them off.

My own personal opinion is you need expert legal advice sooner rather than later, your story is full of holes, eg was he caught by a scamera, or was he pulled over, two different things with two different approaches.

Too late to get wise on the day in court.

98 mph it *will* be a court appearance.

The OP says it was 96, not 98 and in a 60, so we do know the speed limit of the road.

Also, there were no bikes for the driver to be alarmed by.

***THIS***

I have a mate who "got away" with 30 over the limit with 3 points and a 150 quid fine.

He told the court he was glad he was there, it was a new car to him and he simply did not realise it went so fast so easily and so silently, and he was selling it and buying an older car, and he was thankful that he was in court "only" for a speeding offence and not for being in a serious accident and injuring or killing someone.

It was total bollocks, but he knew he was caught and put the best face on it, and put the speed limited on and set it at 80 mph.

Those of you with modern enough cars to have adaptive speed cruise control and / or a speed LIMITER, really, setting the limiter at 80 for motorways and 65 for A roads and using adaptive for everything else is the way to avoid 99.99% of all speeding offences.

Whatever the outcome 96 is a crazy speed in a 60 zone ..

I disagree, I know the road well, it is in Scotland, it is isolated and a long straight road where high speeds are easily achieved (140 -160) on bikes and plenty time to brake, obviously we know the dangers of speed with regards to blow outs, or deer running out, but on that specific road that's about the only problems that could occur"

I've never been caught for speeding but I have been irresponsible in the past. Reading the posts id hazard a guess that ops "friend" was caught up in the buzz of having been to a racing track. I used to work as a first aider track side at oultan park. The speeds the visitors would do after the meets where ridiculous and we were often called to an accident just outside the circuit. I think ops "friend" is very irresponsible and I hope he learns before someone is hurt or killed.

Every thread regarding excessive speed or speeding always results in the op trying to defend and justify hat position, (see the archives)

your 'mate' did wrong he's going to have to suck it up., likelyhood is if he was stopped by the traffic police, his report will be used as evidence against your 'mate', it's to be hoped your 'mate' acted with a bit more contrition with the police and likely when he's stood in front of the magistrates than you're displaying here.

If your mate was going to get off lightly the copper would have done there and then.

At that speed it is court and possibly a ban.

The coppers were there coz it's a nice road for speeding and too many people were doing excessive speeds. They act before someone gets killed and were there to make a point.

At least that is reassuring because I cannot think of any justification for breaking the limit by the amount that he did .

im aware of someone that has recently been caught.

Undertaking a police car on the motorway (along with various other cars)

doing twice the speed limit in a construction zone.

undertaking using the hard shoulder

driving through the construction zone area!

it was all on video as the unmarked police car followed them. they had to go back to police station a week later to see the footage and for the charges to be read, after all that all they got is a 1 day driving awareness course

(it didnt even go to court)

and the reason they gave. the person was trying to get to a department store before it closed!!!

we have just come back after a week away,

and as an experiment I decided to play with the speed limiter rather than the cruise control. and set the trip to MPG.

I have to admit sometimes my speed does creep up past the legal limit, but no worries with the limiter set

My biggest surprise was the 10mpg extra I got on the whole trip (over 500 miles) without any noticeable increase in journey times.

I'm going to be using this new toy a lot more now

Yup, not only does every 5 mph over 60 start drinking the fuel, but a constant speed vs speeding up and slowing down all the time also makes a big big difference.

I also found (did 1000-1500 miles a week in that job) that adaptive cruise control + speed limiter made for a much much more relaxing drive... I'd get back having run only one or two off the road before shooting them and setting fire to their car.

"a friend has just been pulled over - 96 in a 60, anyone know what he should expect? hopefully just £60 and 3 points?

I would expect a possibly ban and a fine of at least £300.

no way, you need a 100+ for a ban, no other traffic on road, isolated spot with no access for pedestrians, not even animals in fields, just one bloody speed camera van

No, you don't need to be doing 100+ to get a ban.

It's far more likely at 100+ but perfectly possible at lower speeds."

100+ on a motorway is an instant ban, on normal roads it's a sliding scale depending on the speed limit.

I work as a driver trainer. If I got any points i have to notify the DVLA and they will tell me im not a fit and proper person to do my job.

I might get away with 33 in a 30 mph area but 96 in a 60 mph zone and I would be unemployed as well as a ban and stiff fine.

If he was pulled over rather than the mobile camera vans I'd guess the traffic copiers report would have some bearing on the outcome.

Whatever the outcome 96 is a crazy speed in a 60 zone ..

lol, good job he was in his motor then and not on his bike, the road in question is a great road for biking at high speeds

Tbh a lot of the 60s and 70s could do with a speed limit rise to account for the fact rhat cars are way more capable than the ones that where around when the speed limits where written.

30s though need to stay at 30 because of the possibility of a pedestrian being struck with no chance of the driver being able to break so its a damage mitigation thing there"

You are absolutely correct, it was a Scottish road just South of Knockhill race circuit, he was coming out of a long sweeping bend (great for getting the knee down on a bike) and heading onto the long straight which is great for high speeds,

Hopefully he will get a ban. I cant believe your trying to justify it. Its not like he was doing 35 in a 30 mile limit. Thankfully hes only got to worry about the size of his fine and not walk round with someones death on his conscionce for the rest of his life.

if the road was just south of knockhill, your mate could have himself a track day maybe a lesson or two with an instructor and learn how to drive at speed in a safe environment for both him and other road users, rather than using public roads for his own version of a race track.

The fact remains that the speed limit is 70 and his powers of observation must be extremely poor if he failed to notice the camera van.

I was clocked last year at 61 as was overtaking in a 50mph dual carriageway which went down to a 30mph and they got me exactly on the 30 sign as I was braking. Police agreed the 30 zone starts way too early for the road and it was a Sunday morning and no other traffic around but I went to court with a solicitor and held my hands up as I'd done wrong. I got 6 points and £300 in fine and court costs plus £200 for the solicitor. The court was clear I only escaped a ban due to being a single disabled parent and if I got a ban I would lose my job.

I really fail to see why potential inconvenience should ever be a factor in sentencing. And if it must then surely the punishment should be 9 points so any infringement in the next year results in a ban.

Courts need to remember that driving is a privelege and not an automatic right

Cause speed is rarely a causal factor but an agrivating factor when you look at the stats.

you get anyone walking on that road and they are lost or walking with a fuel can

its a road that you can easily achieve 160+ on a bike, that is, if one wished, 96 is a breeze on that road

thats gone up by 20mph in the last 3 weeks.....i sense a little goading and embellishment of the truth us happening here to get a reaction.

Sadly I think the OP thinks some people are impresses by this crap

well it is good to know you can think, well done for that, strange how you cant resist commenting

It's a forum. People comment. People that drive like idiots, dismiss the laws and believe they pose no danger disgust me.

Maybe you should stop and think why there are no comments sympathising with your friend?"

trying to get brownie points still wont get you a date

keep on trying though

indeed, some would say not an achievable speed on a fireblade or a F4 EV03, but a 312R is a different story

well, so I have been told

your "friend" was in a car. If you seriously think you can justify his actions you need to give your head a wobble"

it wasn't a car, it was a Toyota Hilux invincible, great 4x4's take you anyplace,

you called it a car earlier, this story is getting so fabricated now next he will have been cruising over the road in a helicopter. I sincerly hope he gets a ban then it wont be taking him anywhere for awhile.

"it was coming out of a few corners then onto a long straight, on the bikes we hit that road real fast, just as well he was in car and realistically it was only 36 over speed limit not taking into account speedo adjustment

well you do call them cars although they are realistically classified as a van, and in turn have low road tax

I got off with a speeding fine once when coming home from Bournemouth.

Copper asked me what my hurry was so I told him the truth

"I'm on a promise"

Copper asked for proof so I duly showed him the naughty pic of my (now ex) wife and the accompanying text message.

He looked at me and said "well what are you waiting here for get going"

"Speeding fines....grrr

Cops do it all the time..frikin hypocritical leaches..."

They are of course trained and regularly assessed to drive at high speed.

They're also trained in forward planning, observation, car control, awareness, hazard perception, and emergency manouvres et al.

Whereas joe public...... is frequently an irresistible clueless numpty.

At the end of the day I don't really see why people are getting bloody upset, bet every single one of the posters on this thread who drive have broke the speed limit at one point in their life

Pot; Kettle; Black

get a bloody life folks

Oh why didn't you say earlier this changes everything.

The bigger the vehicle the bigger the risk to other road users. Fool

Police are also course trained in firearms, that don't make them experts or mean they are a good shot!!!!!

Several have admitted to speeding on this thread and given their own personal experience of fines and endorsements etc. Doesn't mean they can't express their disgust at someone driving at almost 100mph or towards someone with your bragging about driving at (depending in which version of your story we use) twice the national speed limit.

Personally I have been caught a few times speeding, have done a driver awareness course and still got caught but each time I do I am humble in my acceptance of the fact that I broke the law.

It's people like you that end up killing people, you speed, get caught and yet you openly admit you speed again, you have no shame, and you continue to speed

absolutely disgraceful, learn from your mistakes or quit driving
