Speeding
Jul 20, 2010
Two speeding offences one hour apart!
I was caught speeding twice in one night. Firstly by the police on the M4 going through a 50mph roadworks area at 70mph. Then by a camera further on an hour later going through a 50mph roadworks zone again and I was speeding at 63 mph.
I have accepted the fine and points by the police although I dont know what will happen now that the camera has caught me aswel. Will i get a court summons or banned?

Were you travelling in the same direction throughout the two incidents?
You maybe able to argue that it is one continuous offence rather than two and therefore get 3 points rather than 6. I have successfully argued this where the two offences were half an hour apart.
Are you a new driver? Have you got any points already? If you are a new driver and you have accepted the fixed penalties then your licence will be revoked automatically by the dvla Im afraid and you will have to do a full retest.
Tell me more.
