I'm not suggesting you can, but I'd be ready for what they're gonna give you.

And my "fave" is actually Ann Summers Anal Aperature Alleviater.

:mad: Why do people bother posting **** when they have no idea what they're talking about?!

OP, turning up early, smartly dressed, being very sorry more often than not gives a lighter punishment. It shows the court you actually care enough about your driving licence and you have the decency to get off your arse and speak to them in person, which they usually look on favourably.

My sister in a law works part time as a sheriff (part time as a criminal lawyer), and after discussing it at MUCH length with her it became apparent that pleading guilty via post, well in advance of the hearing (assuming you can construct a sentence, which I think you might struggle with given your apparent anger issues), will get you the lightest sentence.

Let me think - who's opinion should I give more weight to - Random angry internet idiot (that being you), or someone who actually sentences people? Think before you speak next time please.

I'd just add a minor point, if you get a solicitor and plead not guilty, even if you win, you may have to pay a contribution towards the costs, unless you're a total pain in the ass you'll get an award out of central funds but any shortfall between what you are awarded and what your solicitor incurre you'll have to pay yourself. (assuming a normal private retainer)

I'm also slightly perturbed at "considerable excess of 60MPH". What an odd thing to say. It seems to me that don't have any idea and, more importantly, evidence that I was travelling at any speed... or maybe they keep these "statement of facts" vague?

I deny the charge that has been offered, and so morally should defend myself, but don't think I stand a chance.

So how fast were you going then?

Doing anything near 60 in a built-up 30 limit is simply unexcusable. You should take some KY, plead guilty and accept what's given.
 
In all seriousness PM Keates I would invest your time and money getting proper representation or at least advice from a specialist. You are certainly not getting much constructive advice hear!

I'm sorry, but this goes against everything any policeman/uncle who is a magistrate has ever told me.

Let me think - who's opinion should i give more weight to - part time criminal lawyer, or countless police officers and a magistrate.

And don't speak down to me. :)

P.s. How would i struggle to construct a sentence, considering my original post contained no obvious spelling or grammar errors?
