Speeding fine

hellies

I have just received a letter telling me that i waas caught doing 44mph in a 30mph zone :eek: i vaguely remember getting flashed, i thought the area was a 40mph zone.... but no excuse, my own fault

i was just wondering if anybody can advise me on the likely fine/points i may get. I already have 3 points (from January 2007) and have held my licence for 9 years. Other than these 2 i have no motoring offences. I looked on google and found a website that says 3 points/ £60 fine maximum, but this seems a bit lenient?

Hi, checked Cleveland Police website which says 3 points and £60 fine- you have to be doing 50 in a 30 zone before you get a summons.

I'm sure they stay on longer than 3 years

Hi again- the points physically stay on the licence for 4 years but only count for 3 years as far as totalling up towards the dreaded 12.

Thanks for that ~ what do you do after the 4 years? Send your licence to DVLA to have them removed?

Hi, as I said previously, its on your licence for 4 years but only counts for " totting up " for 3 years- you can check on direct.gov/motoring/endorsements and penalties. Yes you just send off your licence to Swansea.
