Speeding and other criminal offences / Caught doing 37mph in a 20mph zone.
« on: February 11, 2026, 11:20:24 pm »
Hi,
I have been caught doing 37mph in a 20mph zone.
I have received a SJPN after admitting I was the driver. I have no excuses and I am considering pleading guilty. My license is currently clean (with all points expired/cleared). I was wondering what the outcome most likely would be. I understand that it is a Band B offence so I would be given a fine and 4-6 points or 7-28 days disqualification. I work as a private hire driver, so I would need to be driving to earn my income. Would mentioning I am a private hire driver make things worse? What would be the best thing I can do?
Also is there any point in going to the court as I am pleading guilty and they said they will post the decision to me anyway.
