custodial sentence? especially if they look as dodgy as you.

seriously though, I think that classed as dangerous driving.

Double the speed limit in most courts = disqualification for varying lengths of time depending on the court area, fine and often an order to take a re-test.

Much depends on the time of day, where it occured, the type of road and what other traffic was about at the time.

Id think they would be more likely to have a film in to "prove a point" to start with

Sorry to hear if its you

There are ways round these things tho

obvious one is a scoob cant go 90mph in the 1st place without doing No3

you have my msn if you need some help - ive been good @ getting out of them in the past

Definately a court summons, and likely a short ban and few hundred quid fine.

In 1990 I got caught by VASCAR doing 116 in a 70, Witney by-pass, 28 day ban and £260 fine. Wife drove me around as I was a National Contracts Manager with Thorn EMI at the time. All my customers were great, thought I had got the job in heaven, good looking, tall, slim bird in a mini skirt driving me around, of course I didn,t tell them she was my wife, it would have taken all the fun out of it. Got pissed a lot for the month and got my licence back nice and clean too.

Will make no difference in the slightest, if the road is signed as a 40. Also even if the driver was doing 90 on the road when it was a NSL then that would more than likely be a fixed penalty.
