[LOUIE]

As you all know im away for a while, not prison before you say it spence, and have just spoken to her in doors, and theres a speeding ticket at home for me.
As some of you may know i already have 11 points on my licence and am now looking at a ban. the problem is however that if i get a ban i lose my job!!!!

Does anyone know a really hot soliciter that could wave a magic wond in warrington for me, or have any advice, shady tips???

You don't automatically get points for speeding, usual speeding fine for doing 60 kmh in a 50 limit is 15 Euro. the points only last 2 years, you have to collect 20 points before getting a ban and can choose (within reason) when you want to hand your license in.

A work colleague of mine did 130 through roadworks on the Autobahn (80 limt) he got 2 points 150 Euro fine and a month ban, he handed his license in when he went on holiday for a fortnight, so only lost his license for a fortnight in effect

If you or no one else in the household have not signed for the "notice of intended prosicution" you can ignore it and hope that the mandate of 14 days expires, the period they have to tell you from the date of when the offence occured to you acknowledging that they intend to prosecute(by accepting a recorded delivery or replying to a letter that wasn't sent by recorded delivery, which is a definate no no). If you have already accepted the letter by signing for it then your options are somewhat reduced, pm me with your e-mail adress and I'll send a booklet that might help but in all honesty if you've signed for it then they have got you.....there are other ways to get out of it but it will take some reading to find your best possible corse of action. Trust me, I got off from doing over twice the legal limit without a ban, I did get six points and a rather large fine into the bargain but I didn't get the worst possible punishment. I was told I HAD TO ATTEND COURT and that I should bring someone with me who could drive me home should the need arise....proper "arse eating my pants" twenty minutes in court that was.

As said above if it came in normal post and not signed for rip it up and say nothing.
If you get another letter tell them it is the first one you have received and therefore outside the 14 day limit.
One of the guys at work got one and did the above it was not chased up
and some of you know where I work!

Never got a letter both times I was snapped

will give that a shot gents, thanks

I wasn't aware of the limit for replying to the "notice of intention" before I got done so I automatically thought I was stuffed and accepted the letter by replying and setting the ball rolling so to speak, now I'm more informed I wouldn't take anything that comes "recorded delivery" without first asking to look at it through the glass down at the sorting office(our postman never gets to us before we go to work). Good luck.

well the saving grace in this is the fact im not in england for 6 or so weeks, so i can give them the run around a bit.

[topaz]

get a family member to admit it was them

Laws North and South are completely different
but thought id tell you about a specialist motoring lawyer who for £2.5K would save my license when i was caught over 100 mph on the motorway.
There are forums about this with expert help and opinions.

Good luck.

Just get a letter from your boss to say you'll lose your job if you lose your licence, take it to court, represent yourself (no solicitor), & setlle for a hefty fine instead. Works for most people, if it gets as far as the court.

After that is done & dusted get yourself a slower car for getting to work, buy yourself a van & trailer & take your fast car to a race track to have a play.

Fella's,
I know a bit about this stuff,

Anyway, the NIP only has to be posted out first class post. No mention of recorded delivery etc.

Ignore it at your peril.

Years ago I had 10 points and got summoned to court for another speeding offence. This was going to take me over the 12 point limit and therefore a ban.

I took my solicitor along with a letter from my employer stating that I would lose my job if i lost my license.

This worked and they put me on 13 points (until the 10 came off the following year) and I kept my license.

I was told that I could only do this once and if it happened again I would lose my license.

Hope this helps

you always get a know it all henry on these subjects dont you, eh windy!!!

I drive a van to work and back and i trailer my car to trackdays also, for your information i had 3 speeding points and i was smashed into on a roundabout, the company van i was driving wasnt insured and i was prosecuted for no insurance!!! hence 11 points, get your facts right first!!!

Have spoken to a soliciter today and he recommends i go to court with a letter etc and pleed my case, thanks for most of the advice you have given me its been very usefull
