Speeding Ticket Offences Explained

Speeding offences are set out by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Section 89 of the Act states that one person witnessing a speeding offence is not adequate evidence to result in a speeding ticket offence. This means that in the absence of a speed camera, even one police officer witnessing a speeding offence is not sufficient. However, there are exceptions to this rule so contact our motoring solicitors today to discuss your case.

Speeding Ticket Penalties

If you are caught speeding on a road the punishment can vary between 3 and 6 points and up to a £1000 fine. If you were driving significantly over the 30mph speed limit, this can result in disqualification or a driving ban.

If you are caught speeding on the motorway, you could receive 3 to 6 points and up to a £2500 fine. If you were driving significantly over the 70mph speed limit, you will almost certainly face a driving disqualification.

Speeding Offence Prosecution

You must receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution or a verbal notice in order to be prosecuted for a speeding offence. If the police have caught you speeding, they should issue you with a speeding ticket or verbally inform you that they intend to prosecute you due to your speeding.
