Oh, yes, I think I might have had to do it in two parts...confirm that it was me, and then they sent a letter with the fine and request to send licence.

I don't think you will be banned....

You have 28 days to send the first form back, then another 28 days to send your licence and fine, which gives you plenty of time to find/get new licence.

Your licence won't have expired as it would have been a paper one.

so dont be in a hurry to return the first form till you have a new DL in your hand..

no it doesnt expire. Though you are meant to have told them when you move house

Photocard ones do have an expiry date but they came in later than 1986.

the people who designed the forms are bastards cos it looks so terrifying, my DH (biker) has had a couple and they always scare the shit out of me because of the wording and how it is laid out!

lisalisa... you definitely won't be banned. Dh (a long time ago now) got stopped for doing 90 mph in the fast lane of the M4 on his motorbike and getting in the way of a police car on its way to an emergency call. (Awful, I know). He got fined for the speeding and for either driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving or something (can't quite remember which) and still 'only' got 4 points and a small-ish fine.

Don't panic. Perhaps they forgot to include the letter bit that said you could pay the fine and avoid the prosecution? Good luck in sorting it out.

Oh, yes, and don't say that you haven't seen your licence for ages. Just say that you lost it recently when your handbag got accidentally dropped into a lake (or something ) and you are in the process of renewing it (and then really do renew it!). It won't have expired. They don't expire till you're 70!

Good luck in sorting it out.

Evamum, sorry, but what is the form supposed to look like?

It is a notice of intended prosecution, a forewarning of possible court action.

Good luck

Soph28-Think if youare gonig 30 mph + over the speed limit its an automatic ban

lisa - if you know someone with a rpovisional who doesnt use it - an older relative perhaps - ask them to take points /consequences for you.

i did

Didn't someone just get severely and publically "done" for this Custardo? An MP I think..

i'm sure someone has.

students offer their licences. for a fee.

can't remember name of website though

do you want to knwo that the penalty is then?
horses motuh and all that?

adn FYIO
there is no automatic ban
i have let someone off on 104mph

3 poxy POINTS
this is harly crime of hte month
we do abotu 30 similar in one day

cod how could you I hope there was good reason speeding is dangerous and 140mph is way excessive

was it peirs morgan cod?

or even piers morgan

If you are up t o 25 mph over a 40 or above speed limit youll get a fixed pantly
oevr the 25 moh it goes to court.
if oyu have no other points or its not super fast youll get it done in abscenbce

you an only be banned in person - you HAVe to attend
you can then go through other legal hoops to get out of it - " exceptional hardship " argument.

there is NO WAY otu of it for drink driving
even if oyu were going at 10mph in a car park.

104! not 140
