Speeding
Jun 29, 2010
I am a new driver with 3 points already
I have received a condition of fixed penalty notice NO x
The alleged offence is speeding at 59 mph on a motorway with a temporary restriction of 50mph.I did not honestly see the temporary ban sign and do wonder whether the device was operating correctly as the traffic was quite slow moving along this stretch.
I am a new driver who passed test in x 2009.I already have 3 points on my licence issued in x.
I am worried my licence would be automatically revoked.Is it worth attending court and trying to defend.

The devices the police use are generally very reliable.
You are going to have your licence revoked if you accept a fixed penalty in relation to this matter. You have to reject the fixed penalty and ask for a court hearing if you want to stand any chance of avoiding losing your licence. You would have to either defend the matter or persuade the court to give you a short ban instead of the points. It wont be easy because they would not normally give a ban for such a low speed.
