Totting Up Ban
Discussion
Unfortunately I recently got snapped at 35 in a 30 whilst on 9 points. I’ve received a notice to say this will be dealt with in court after holding my hands up to being the driver.
Does anyone have any tips or experience on how to word my statement for the hearing? I understand that inconvenience to me is not a reason to allow me to keep my licence. My father requires care and I live approximately 1 hour away so I would be unable to get to him at short notice should I be needed. School run stuff etc I would assume is not relevant here.
Does anyone have any idea of how long hearings are booked in advance as I received the notice 2 days ago?
TIA

Many thanks for all the helpful replies. Just to confirm, I did a speed awareness some time within the last 3 years so that option is not available to me.
I have engaged a brief and I hope they will help me put forward my case.
Worst case scenario I am walking/taxiing/bussing/training everywhere (for a minimum 6 months), which given the parlous state of public transport in this country, should qualify as exceptional hardship IMO.
