Speeding

I think that I have been clocked doing just under 70mph in a 50mph zone. What are the likely penalties - would it be a standard £60 and 3 points or more?

As far as I know you should be okay for a fixed penalty:

Limit Fixed Penalty Summons

20 mph 25 mph 35 mph

30 mph 35 mph 50 mph

40 mph 46 mph 66 mph

50 mph 57 mph 76 mph

60 mph 68 mph 86 mph

70 mph 79 mph 96 mph

Current Fixed penalty of £60, Licence endorsed with 3 penalty points. Summons penalty Magistrate’s discretion. Maximum of: £1,000 fine + £15 victims support, Licence endorsed - range of penalty points available, Disqualification, Compulsory re-testing.
