Usual Advice and Relevant Experience
Discussion
I know we get a lot of these be would really appreciate any relevant advice or experience.
A colleague of mine has just got into to work a little upset, got the summons for an offence 2 months ago. 102.7mph on the M3 on a bike, good conditions etc, vascar over 0.3 of a mile.
Any advice on how to play this, he has had his bike license less than 2 years. Do they treat the magic 100mph barrier the same for bikes? Is a ban likely, even 6 points is not a great idea as presumably either way he would have to retake his test etc....
At the time the copper said in his opinion he was not driving dangerously, but also recorded that he said nothing under caution. Does this mean he now has little defence? Uses the bike to commute 50 miles to work currently.
Any advice would be great.

Cautions: what a load of knackers. An evil cop can write anything they choose, so the notebook isn't your defense, and you can't rely on them putting down any mitigating excuses you may have. Indeed, the corrupt officers out there make up stuff to get you deeper in the poo. Why, you ask? human nature.
Errr, 102? shame, I did 160 on the same road, no problem. Guess getting caught is down to luck sometimes. Over 100 = likely ban. Magistrates hate bikes even more than they hate Max Power boys.
Not a lot of help I 'spose. Sorry. Vascar is hard to defend against.
