Speeding offence

Thanks for replies. So may it be that he doesn't have to go to court and just gets the points and has his license revoked or will he have to go to court anyway. If so, does the court date appear straight away on the first correspondence.

He'll either be offered a ticket or summoned to court on a given date.

Once the dvla know he's got six or more points they'll will write to him. Then he'll need to apply for c provisional.

Probably worth looking here OP http://www.drivingban.co.uk/drivingban/speedingoffences/drivingbanspeedingoffences.htm

And heading over to Pepipoo for some advice.

I am sure, like others though, my parents would be quite happy to see me on the bus if i'd been that daft.

If he was stopped by the Police in person they will have reported him for a summons as that is the correct procedure.

He WILL be having his full licence revoked and returned to provisional status.

It would be the same for an ordinary driver that has committed another offense that would take them to 12 or more. It cannot be dealt with by way of FPN(E) so court is the only way to go.

Peppipoo is the best place to go, but at 46 in a 30 he will just get a COFP. The licence revocation is instant and automatic. He cannot drive from the second those points go on as he has no licence (but will be insured, as he is not banned from holding one). He simply applies for a provisional (which will arrive with 6 points on) then does the theory & practical tests to drive on his own. He is then allowed to get to12 points before a totting up ban same as you and me. (ie 6 more)

Go to pepipoo for this one, you'll get much better advice. As others have stated he is looking at losing his licence under the two year thing.

Clearly didnt learn his lesson the first time. Good riddance.

Why on earth would you want to represent him?

A bit harsh, I doubt many of us were saintly drivers when we were young, I know I wasn't and I'll admit it, it's easy to look down on new and young drivers when you're so much older, however, remember, rules have got tougher and speeding enforcement is higher on the agenda than it used to be, certainly in my young driver days of the early 80s the only time you were likely to get done for speeding is if you were unlucky enough not to notice a traffic car.

The DVLA will write to him telling him the date his license will be revoked and he cannot drive on or after the date given..

You wouldn't think it was harsh when a young driver, who had already been done for speeding previously, ended up killing your friends or relatives.

If they don't learn their lesson the first time, then they should learn the hard way.
