If they offer you points and a fine with no court appearance, take it FFS!
Speaking from experience, the websites saying what you can expect, are based on the magistrates guidelines .... the big clue here being Guidelines. The magistrates are free to go beyond or show leniancy (like that's going to happen!
)What you get depends on where you were speeding, the court it's heard in, the excess speed you were doing etc etc.
TBH for the alleged speed, if you're summonsed to appear, you're better off sending a guilty plea in (the earlier the better), with a nice letter of mitigation (miserable pleadings). The points, ban, fine etc are reduced by an early guilty plea.
Looking at what you're expecting to pay a brief, your fine is unlikely to come to that amount.
You don't get a disqualification and points, you get one or the other.
If you were looking at a ban then the following might be useful.
A ban up to 56 days, your licence is stamped by the magistrates with the date your ban finishes. If it's over 56 days you have to surrender your licence to the clerk of the court. You can aply for your licence back 3 months (I think - check DVLA website) before the end of your ban. It will cost you £60 to get your licence back after a disqualification (might be more for a DD but in this case irrelelvant).
Might be an idea to have a solicitor make and 'official' photo copy of your licence (both bits), which they'll rubber stamp and sign to say it's a true copy. They might charge you about £30 for this but if there's any discrepancies when you get your licence back you can challenge the DVLA with it.
Me? - think I posted it previously.
122mph in a 60 on a notorious road in North Yorks, judged by North Yorks court in Skipton.
Road was empty apart from the unmarked car in the layby I didn't see. Conditions were dry and bright.
65 day ban, £250 fine, £45 court costs, £15 victims fund.
Renewed my bike insurance in March, increase on my premium of approx £29 on last year - bargain!
