57 on a 50
« on: »
Good Evening.

I have read few posts on here so hopefully I’m not breaking any rules. Just need some guidance please. This is on behalf of my brother, coming back from Luton airport he got issued the attached. This is his first offence and is really upset. Any guidance around what he can do to ask for the Met to have leniency?

Kind regards

If it's his first offence he should be offered a speed awareness course, so no reason to be upset. All he needs to do is return the form promptly naming himself as the driver.

For the sake of completeness, the relevance of it being a "first offence" is simply that other than the speed alleged being not greater than 10% +9mph above the limit. the other criteria for being offered a course is that he had not completed that course for an offence committed in the 3 years prior to the current offence.

Other than being offered a course, asking for leniency is pointless unless there is some compelling mitigation that you have decided not to trouble us with. It's pretty much a sausage machine/paint by numbers.
