What is likely to be the punishment for speeding? (UK)?

That is over the limit for a roadside ticket hence the summons.

You will definitely get a minimum of 3 points but the fine could be a lot larger and there is the chance they could give you a short ban of 7-56 days.

As the officer had a hand-held gun you obviously were not on a motorway.

91 MPH is fast for ANY road in the UK so they may decide to add another offence to speeding depending on what you said to the officer who stopped you and any other relevant factors.

Your MINIMUM penalty will be three penalty points and a fine. If you receive a summons, you may also have to pay court costs (even if you plead guilty by post).

I'm afraid that, at that speed, I think you deserve whatever you get. I think that the fact that you have a clean licence only proves that you have been lucky up until now.

Once you get over the annoyance of being caught and the financial burden of your fine, you will realise that you were, in fact, very lucky to have learned your lesson due to a police speed trap rather than being involved in an accident.

As some of the previous answers have also stated, the minimum you can expect is 3 points and 60 pound fine.

But the Police Officer who reported you could have dealt with you by a fixed penalty notice (Endorsable) for 3 points and 60 pounds. He did not as your speed was faster than the laid down ACPO guidelines for dealing with speed offenders, as such you are reported to the courts to receive a possible disqualification.

If the courts decide on a disqualification it will be for a relativley short period 21 or 28 days. But of course then you have to infom your insurance company who will then impose increased premiums.

If you do not receive a disqual period count your self lucky and learn from this. We as traffic Officers like to think that you will be educated by ours and the courts actions.

21 MPH over the speed limit is classed as a serious motoring offence. As you were clocked doing 31MPH over the speed limit you cannot be issued with a fixed penalty endorsement, you have to go to Court. They will take into account your previous good record and the report from the Police Officers report, which will give road and traffic conditions. If you were driving recklessly they will probably give you 6 points and a fairly large fine, approx £200 depending on your personal financial position. If you earn a lot of money and were driving a "flash" car it will probably be bigger. If they are lenient you will only get 3 points and a £200 fine. Good luck

you will probably get a short term ban or at least 6 points as well as a big fine as you would if it's more than 25-30mph over the limit

but ignore wt them dicks say m8, not like you were doing it in a quiet backstreet with a 30 or 20 limit where there are kids everywhere,

ppl should realise that its not speed that kills, its bad driving that does plus you can never measure the difference between safe/dangerous speed in miles per hour cos it kd b differnet at different times like the time of day/night, weather conditions etc, plus most speed limits are ridiculous, either too high or too low for the road, theres some roads with 60 and 70 limits you could do upto 80-90+ perfectly safely without causing any significant danger

It's going to be more than the "standard" fixed penalty of 3 points and £60 would have been, that's for sure. How much more, we cannot guess. That sort of excess is likely to viewed as bordering on dangerous driving.

Generally speaking, the higher the speed, the greater the risk of an instant ban and as a general rule of thumb, when the speeding offence is in excess of 40% of the speed limit, there is a risk of an instant driving ban: Work it out, that equates to in excess of 84mph . . . And a fine, albeit means-tested, of up to £1,000.

The very minimum is 3 points and a £60 fine, but such irresponsibility will be viewed harshly by the court. I would guess that you will get 6 points and a fine somewhere in the region of £300 - so slow down and think about the consequences of your actions - causing death by dangerous or careless driving is imprisonable.

I was doing 58 miles an hour in a 50 zone on a motorway and i got 3 points and a 60 pounds fine.

that's for 8 miles over. on a motorway. 8 miles is nothing.

so for you doing over 30 miles, id expect 6 points and possibly a ban.

needless to say, it's speeders who drive like idiots, who give the the rest of us a bad name,

3 points and a £60 fine

3 points, and a fine.

If you doubled the speed limit, such as 60 in a 30 zone, it is an automatic short ban. If you exceed 100mph, automatic ban.
