Brothers been caught doing 100mph
Has anybody had any experience of being caught doing exactly 100mph? Is this an instant ban or will he be lucky and get a temporary ban or points and fine?
He was doing 100mph up Whitwell Hill on the A64 towards Malton and a police car sat at the top caught him.

Mine just over 100 on a dual carriageway bit of the A1, 100 quid and 6 points, no previous convictions, light traffic etc etc.

Is it dual carriageway - i.e. 70mph? - if so he shouldn't get banned - 5 ish points and a fine. If it was a 60 mph limit I'd have thought a short ban was likely.

I've been convicted for 100mph on an A road (60mph limit), though a few years ago.
I appeared at court and groveled a lot - but ended up with a 1 month ban, 3 points and £200 fine - oh, and a lecture.
Not bad, as I was actually doing 130.... but it was midnight and the road was completely dry / straight / clear - just this damn police car trying to keep up with me about half a mile behind!

It didn't make a massive amount of difference TBH, they just saw it as an SP30.... It was over 5 years ago now so I don't even mention it (well, it's actually about 15 years ago I guess) so well "spent".
IIRC I had a few "SP30 - 3 points / 60 quid fine? - Oh no, 200 quid, 3 points, 1 month ban... - Oh yes indeedy - do the job properly! You must've been shifting to get that mate.." type conversations with customer service people (OK, young blokes) who worked for Insurance companies when getting quotes for a few years afterwards.

I still remember the quote from the policeman, as I was sat in the front seat of his 3 litre Senator with blue lights still flashing "Oh no sonny, 80 miles an hour, I don't think so.... This is a very fast car and I was driving it to its limits, I was doing well over 100 mph and you were still pulling away from me - I didn't stand a hope of catching you. Whilst following at that speed I was physically scared."
I was tempted to reply with "Poof" but thought better of it.
It took them about 5.9 months ( the limit is 6 months!) to get the summons to me, and I was eager to see what speed they were going to go for. In the end the summons stated "Travelling at 100mph" - when I was expecting at least an "exceeding 100mph", but I guess they have to 'pin' a stated figure that they're comfortable with rather getting into vague guestimates that could be disproved.
In hindsight it was all a fun learning experience. At the time it was a bit of a pain getting lifts to/from work every day for a month (much longer would have been a REAL pain in the neck). Still, I walked down the pub most nights and had a skin-full to make up for it...

As IanE said, www.pepipoo.com is a good start. I have no experience of them, but I pulled these two off a website I visited a few weeks back...
