McKenzie Representation – £2,500:

Speeding Laws: Your Highway Code or the government’s website provides details on speed limits based on road types. Even travelling 1mph over the limit is technically an offence and can lead to prosecution.
Will I Get a Ticket for Doing 35mph in a 30mph Zone? The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) recommends a leeway of 10% + 2mph, but this is guidance, not law. Enforcement varies by constabulary and detection method.
Penalties for Speeding:
- Minimum penalty: £100 fine and three points.
- Alternative: Speed awareness course (no points, same cost as the fine).
Responding to a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN):
- Plead guilty: Pay the fine, accept points, or attend a speed awareness course.
- Plead not guilty: Attend court, potentially facing higher fines and more points.
Sentencing Guidelines: Fines are based on the speed over the limit and weekly income, with maximum fines of £1,000 (non-motorway) and £2,500 (motorway).
Aggravating and Mitigating Factors:
- Aggravating: Previous convictions, poor conditions, commercial driving, etc.
- Mitigating: No previous convictions, good character, genuine emergency, etc.
How Long Do Points Stay on Your Licence? Points stay on your licence for four years, but insurance companies may require disclosure for five years.
Serious Speeding Offences: Serious offences (bands B or C) may lead to court prosecution, higher fines, longer disqualification, and additional conditions like retaking the driving test.
Not Guilty Plea: To plead not guilty, solid evidence is needed. Failure to prove innocence may result in harsher penalties.
