Pulled over by police for speeding

I was caught speeding 98 in 70 and pulled over by unmarked police car in dual carriageway A50 (Derbyshire?). I was given the slip with code SV77011. Police man didn't tell anything apart from that I will be contacted by post (I think).
I know it will be a court summon. Will I get a ban? if yes, 7-28 days, how long?
P.s. I already have 3 points from last year for doing 78 in 50 M1.
UPDATE: I got a letter on 21/09/2016. To my surprise I was given a choice either course or fix penalty. I chose course of course which I paid 92 pounds. Booked 2nd November somewhere in Derby hotel.
Thanks again for all your suggestions.

Most likely outcome will be a fine of up to £1000, but inline with your wage and 4-6 points. A ban however is possible.0

For travelling at 28 mph above the legal limit, with a recent history of exactly the same offence, you will almost certainly receive a ban. The ban will be more than 7 - 28 days. Together with a large fine. And you will deserve it.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Not so.
The magistrates' guidelines indicate 4-6 points or a ban of NOT more than 28 days, plus a fine of about a week's wages.0 -

What on earth were you doing that was so important that it was worth risking the lives and safety of other road users?0 -

I haven't speeded since then. It changed my whole outlook. Marginal speeding is bad (I was caught at 55mph on a dual carriageway link road) but the OP is not about marginal speeding.0 -
