I was wondering if I should make a plea to the police to ask for the speed awareness course rather than receiving my first 3 endorsement points.
The maximum speed for which the police will normally offer a course is 86mph. They are quite rigid on that. At 92mph I would say there is absolutely no chance of a course.
A solicitor might offer to approach the police on your behalf, but it is my view that it will be pointless. They may even offer to represent you in court, but that would also be pointless because the court
must impose a minimum of three points (and for that speed they are more likely to impose 4 or 5) unless they find there are “Special Reasons” not to do so. Those reasons must relate to the offence itself and not your personal circumstances. From your description there are no such reasons.
I think your partner has the right idea.
