93mph in 70mph duel carriageway
« on: October 10, 2025, 09:20:26 pm »
Hi

First time poster.

I was stopped on the roadside on 29/09 around 21:00 by an officer and issued with a traffic offence notice for 93mph in a 70mph zone.

Nothing has been received in the post yet, with the 14 days being next week (but I am aware the notice can be the nip).

I have three questions:

1 - What is the most likely outcome for this? It’s clear that I’m over the limit, of course. Over 96 is court, but nothing for 91-95. It could go to court or could be a 100 fine. I can’t dispute the speeding; I was over the limit.

2 - This is what  is frustrating: the police pulled us over. The one in front of me was right on my bumper. He is the one who would have used the speeding gun on me and caught me at 93. Is this any mitigation as it was not used on my car (I assume not)? The other car then overtook me, and this led to the police following us to stop. The officer did say that he paced over 100mph (no way I was over 100!! The other driver was 115, he said). However, we have both been done for 93mph.

3 - I have just exchanged contracts on first home and will complete it next week, so due to moving in two weeks, what is the best action to take with my licence and also with the police? Do you notify them if I have  not had any tickets?

Thanks in advance.

How do you know the other driver was also reported for 93?

No NIP is required where you were warned at the time that you might be prosecuted.
I am not qualified to give legal advice in the UK. While I will do my best to help you, you should not rely on my advice as if it was given by a lawyer qualified in the UK.

We both got pulled by police and told at same time and he got told same speed and he was also being warned about undertaking.

We then both got issued tickets in the police car separately.

I understand the prosecution but what is this likely to be

He told me i was being reported and given the verbal nip,

That excess should see a 3 points £100 fixed penalty.

If you don't have access to the address you are currently at then you need a postal redirection.  Failing to accept the CoFP will be costly.

Sounds like the officer was doing you both a favour by reporting you for a speed just within the threshold for an FPN.

Once you have access to the new place, set up redirection on your address as well going through changing your address on everything.

Be sure to read and conform to everything on the CoFP. By which I mean have you submitted your driving licence details as required? This is a step that people overlook and end up with a SJP and higher fines.
