One of the most common questions we get asked at Motoring Lawyers Online is "I was doing x mph in a x limit" what will happen?

As specialist motoring solicitors we have access to the document that the magistrates use when deciding sentence for speeding offences. This is the Magistrates Courts Guideline that all magistrates are issued with.

The following table shows the likely outcome -



Speed Limit 20 -Speed 21-30 = 3 points
Speed 31-40 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 41-50 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

Speed limit 30 -Speed 31- 40 = 3 points
Speed 41-50 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 51-60 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

Speed limit 40 -Speed 41-55 = 3 points
Speed 56-65 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 66-75 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

Speed limit 50 -Speed 51-65 = 3 points
Speed 66-75 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 76-85 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

Speed limit 60 -Speed 61-80 = 3 points
Speed 81-90 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 91-100 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

Speed limit 70 -Speed 71-90 = 3 points
Speed 91-100 = 4-6 points OR Disqualify for 7-28 days
Speed 101-110 = Disqualify 7-56 days OR 6 points

The second most common question we get asked is - do I need a specialist motoring solicitor? The figures given above are guidelines not rules, a good solicitor will be able to convince the magistrates to sentence at the lower end of the scale. This can make a difference between keeping or losing your licence.
