| Thanks for everyone's input one this, most of you have been really helpful. I appreciate your time and effort. Just a final point as I think some people have got carried away. My partner is not trying to "get off" his punishment. He knows he did wrong and will accept the consequences, and ... |

| I mean, who gets paid weekly these days in proper jobs.?!! Lots of ordinary working class people including some of my fellow magistrates. Thankyou. This is very unhelpful. Fisherman is a serving magistrate and we value his perspective. I'm not surprised to see him defending the paperwork, and more ... |

| If this had security implications it would never get to court . I'm not sure that's entirely true because he did explain to the officer who stopped him about his work responsibilities and showed him relevant ID. The officer was not interested. At what point would one get the chance to explain this ... |

| any info regarding the possible ban/fine would be useful also. 104 in a 70 has a starting point of a short ban of 2 to 4 weeks and a fine of 1 weeks pay or so. Plus court costs of about £40 plus £15 victim surcharge. The court will consider any exceptional hardship you put forward and may impose 6 ... |

| What was he doing when he was speeding? He had to be somewhere quickly, yes... But why? Was it in connection with his job? If so, ask the magistrate and the clerk what their security clearances are? The answer will probably be that they do not have any. He could then say: "I was proceeding at ... |

You seem to strongly believe we should challenge it then? I will definitely look in to it... any info regarding the possible ban/fine would be useful also.
Thanks! |

| Wow, there really are a lot of ways to challenge this. However, the thing that concerns me is that he has already entered a plea, will not be appointing a lawyer and also the court date is next Wednesday. Surely having entered all this, it's too late? Also, having read a lot all over the internet ab... |

| This one's on behalf of my partner actually who is up in court next week on a charge of driving at 104mph on a public dual carriageway A-road (A46 Lincolnshire). We realise he was very much in the wrong and are entirely prepared that he will get banned, however just wanted to pick everyone's brains ... |
