Hello Resident,
Speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal. The minimum penalty for speeding is a fixed penalty fine of £100 and three points added to your licence. Receiving 12 or more points within three years may disqualify you from driving. If you’re a newly qualified driver and receive six points during the first two years after passing your test, your licence will automatically be cancelled (revoked). To get it back you’ll need to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both theory and practical tests again. If you’re caught by a speed cameraWithin 14 days of your vehicle being caught speeding the registered keeper will be sent a; Notice of Intended Prosecution Section 172 notice They, or in the case of a company vehicle, the company secretary, must return the notice within 28 days telling the police who was driving the vehicle. If you receive a Section 172 notice and do not respond, the matter could be referred to the Magistrates' Court for a more serious offence which carries a mandatory six penalty points and maximum fine of £1,000. As the driver, depending on the speed and your eligibility, once you’ve responded to the notice you’ll be sent: an option for a speed awareness course a fixed penalty notice or a letter telling you to go to court If you’re stopped by the policeThey can: give you a verbal warning send you a fixed penalty notice offer a speed awareness course or order you to go to court – you’ll receive a letter explaining what to do Find out what to do: if you've received a speed camera activation letter or notice Further informationBikeSafe is a national Police-led motorcycle road safety scheme that raises awareness of key risks and provides safer riding techniques for motorcyclists.
