It might be dependent on the speed he was doing that attracted the fine in the first place. a court always has an option to disqualify for speeding - they may consider that the offence is serious enough to consider disqualification, albeit a fairly short one. It sounds like he has been found guilty in his absence on 3rd Jan and he has to attend to show cause as to why he shouldn't be disqualified. Whilst the points from 2009 are no longer current, they stay on his licence until June 2013 and the offence can be considered by the magistrates when it comes to sentencing for the current offence of speeding.0

Thought I would just update on the case which was heard today.
He was in court for 5 min, asked if he had anything to say.
Magistrate never asked any questions. He got 5 points and £260 fine, which was very lucky I think.
Of course he needs to be on good behaviour now as he has no more chances.
Thanks for all your help and advice.0
