    ACPO policy - 3 points £60 fine.. the points are active for 3 years but stay on your licence for 4 years.

    Not too far over to be summonsed to court or disqualified...

    Unless you have totted up 9 points already
    One day I'll be rich me tells ya.....rich.....hahaha:D

    Agree with wooders 3 points and £60

    I think you should be safe from a MSE slaughtering.

    It's if you drink drive or have no insurance you're best running to the hills! :D

    I think the fact that the op has confessed and simply asked a question might save the shrapnel flying.
    It seems to be the people who've been caught, fined, points on licence etc. and maintain it wasn't their fault and the whole world is against them who seem to get the flak?! Rightly so.
    There's still time though, tin hats at the ready.

    In a 70 limit..yeah. DC or M'Way both designed as high speed roads. Only 10MPH over the limit in France. If it were a 30 or 40 limit though...
