Speeding

Speeding is one of the most common driving offences in the UK, the repercussions of which vary depending upon the circumstances, but can be disastrous for families and businesses.

As a first time or repeat offender you may only have to attend a speed awareness course. Alternatively, you may receive an endorsement of 3 penalty points on your driving licence if you are given a Fixed Penalty Notice. In the worst case scenario where very high speeds are involved you may receive up to 6 points or be disqualified from driving for up to 56 days (or potentially longer).

Receiving 6 penalty points is halfway to a “totting-up” disqualification for a minimum of 6 months and for Probationary Drivers, this alone means your licence will be revoked.
