I'm not looking for sympathy, I was caught fair and square and obviously have made a mistake.

They had me on a time distance machine over 2mins and 101 was the average speed. They said it was collaborated that day. I pretty much admitted guilt on their statement but I opted out of signing it.

Does anyone know what I should expect or has this happened to anyone else?

I am told they will send me a summons and I will have to go to court (more than likely when i am supposed to be on holiday). Does anyone know if what fine, points, ban I am likely to get? Is it worth getting a solicitor?

Any advise would be appreciated!

3 month ban mate minimum I would have thought, a brief would only cost you dough if you are working, defend yourself or at least do your own mitigation if you feel confident enough like
 
I got caught doing 83 in a 50 zone

30mph over the limit which is the general rule of a ban, got 6 points and a £150 fine

I do work and apparently the fine is related to weekly pay, but they did not elaborate on how much to expect. They also said no legal aid available to motor related crimes?
 
I have been caught speeding. Is an instant driving ban likely?
Generally speaking, the higher the speed, the greater the risk of an instant ban and as a general rule of thumb, when the speeding offence is in excess of 45% of the speed limit, there is a risk of an instant driving ban:

Speed Limit Speed Alleged
30 mph In excess of 51 mph
40 mph In excess of 66 mph
50 mph In excess of 75 mph
60 mph In excess of 85 mph
70 mph In excess of 100 mph

Automatic ban i think.

If the circumstances were right, i have sympathy for you.

70mph is far too slow most of the time.

To be fair I was going to fast, but no traffic and a clear run it is easy to do. The policeman even said I was driving perfectly safely and had I been under 100mph I would have escaped with just points and fine.
 
Why were you going that fast marra? There's a speed limit for a reason.

This is what i meant marra, it is safe to do 100 in these circumstances. Unlucky lad.

Sorry marra but this doesnt wash, its a concious effort.
