My mate Dave got caught speeding

[m2287]

My mate Dave got caught by a camera van doing 96mph on the a14, 8pm, no other traffic and lovely weather.

The NIP has been sent back with Dave confirming he was the driver and he is expecting a letter back to visit a court room.

Now on this letter it should have the options to plead guilty by post or go to court in person, would it be best to just plead guilty by post in order to try and avoid a ban? I am of the understanding that if they are intending to ban him then they will send another letter back stating that his attendance in court is necessary.

I won my case and had all costs remitted. Great advice from members on here and on pepipoo allowed me to turn up and represent myself with some confidence but absolutely well prepared - thanks again to the pepipoo folks - most of whom do appear to be either lawyers or very well read laymen. Whatever way, they helped me and I am grateful to Neilrr on here who pointed me at them. There is a thread on here somewhere with the latest episode (updated yesterday).

Yea 70mph, 96 is right on the limit... I'm praying for an FPN of 3 points and £100 fine but don't think I'll be so lucky now the higher fines are introduced.

Don't you mean Dave's praying for 3 points and £100 fine

For the record you can be banned in your absence ive seen it happen on a number of occasions.

The ban takes effect immediately so if you are out on the road when the case is heard and you are spotted by ANPR, then you get done again for driving whilst disqualified. The courts update ANPR as soon as the sentence is read out! They justify this because they will have sent out a letter previously informing the accused they are likely to be banned in their absence.
