Speeding fine advice needed

[HoneyBadger]

No he's not. He can't even stick to speed limits.

Being able to follow speed restriction signs isnt perfection. It's a basic requirement.
Not being able to do it twice is either a conscious choice or stupidity.

Couldn’t agree more.

If his license is so precious because he’s a sensitive little lamb who can’t handle life then he should be more of aware of his speed and surroundings, or stay off the road which based on what the OP has said, doesn’t sound like a bad thing.

Wow .. this thread escalated.

OP right now:

Was this a temporary speed restriction in place at roadworks, or is the road normally 30 there?

It used to be points were not issued, only fines for breaching a temporary limit.

It's temporary, it's normally 40mph.

Worth checking because 6 points on a new license is going to be a problem.

Edit: seems the rules changed around 2002 according to posts on pistonheads!

if they were proper round red circle signs, your partner is probably SOL. So fingers crossed for a speed awareness course.

he's an excellent driver,

yeah, sounds like it.

yeah, sounds like it.

Several attempts to pass and a new driver. But still excellent at it.

Wow .. this thread escalated.

OP right now:

Lol.

in fairness I think it'll be speed awareness course for 1 and 3 points for the other. Everyone makes mistakes - hopefully he will learn from it.
