Thank you , sorry I had read READ FIRST , but was panicking I haven't had to negotiate this before , I have responded to the s172 I was wondering the consequences of being a New driver as I have had my license for under 2 years and if penalties are harsher as I have had my licence for a shorter period
You’re all good mate. I got done for 56 in a 40 having only had my licence about 6 months and only got 3 points because I got caught at 80 on the M25 a month previous and took the speed awareness.
Take a chill pill, you’ll get offered a speed awareness and still have a clean licence.

Depends if you respond to the s. 172 requirement or not.
As explained in the cunningly hidden "READ THIS FIRST" sticky at the top of this forum, you should expect to be offered an SAC for up to 75 in a 60, or a COFP for up to 85 in a 60.
However, if you do not name the driver (from what you have told us, that would seem to be you), you would still be able to get the 6 points you seem so keen on.

I have received a NIP for going 69 in a 60 (M4, variable limit gantry) , I have no points and have had my licence for 22 months so I'm classed as a New Driver, will I receive 6 points as this will be a ban in my circumstances -
