DP Speeding 104mph - what happens next?

177 replies

Kwbe · 31/03/2023 09:42

My partner got caught speeding (104 on a motorway) with our child in the car (I wasn’t there).
He’s had a court summons for the magistrates but no date yet.
As far as I know it’s just a summons for speeding.

I’m so so angry with him, it was so dangerous and stupid and selfish. And basically it’s made me question our entire relationship and the sort of person/father he is.

so what can I expect to happen next from a legal/repercussions stand point?

As far as google says he could (very likely) face a driving ban, maybe lose his job (he’s a civil servant) and a hefty fine.
Is that about right?
can he drive until he goes to court?

he’s been in touch with a solicitor, well a few, and they’ve all been a bit vague, said get back in touch when he has a court date, it’s been 3 weeks now and no letter/date as yet.

any advice/personal experiences would be really appreciated. I’m so anxious about it all and can’t but think the worst of the worst.

thanks so much x

Glad it is all sorted for you now.

Out of curiosity, how much did the solicitor charge for helping fill in the form?
