Speeding Kingsway Dundee

[Gramrugby]

Anyone been done for 60 in 40 limit on the Kingsway ?. If so how many points ?

[ModernAndy]

I've never had points but thought it worth asking for clarity, have you been sent a notice for speeding in the 40 zone and if so, do you know the exact speed you have been caught at? Or perhaps have you seen a camera van while doing somewhere in the region of 60 down that bit of road?

Not me, my son. Sent a notice for 60 in the 40 area, so no argument. Just wondered how many points he can expect since he's only held a licence
for 15 months.

I'm not a lawyer but I believe the length he's held his licence shouldn't matter when considering how many points he'll get (especially for a fixed points notice if that's what he has got) but I believe there is a 6 point limit for the first 2 years. It's not something I know much about but it sounds like 60 in a 40 is just within the margin for 3 points. Hopefully somebody who actually knows what they're talking about can confirm but if you want the number of a good solicitor I'd be happy to PM you details of somebody I know who dealt with a friend's case.

There is a six point limit, that's what he's worried about. Thanks for the offer of a Solicitor's details, but we have a friend who's one of the top in Scotland. He's on holiday at
the moment, hence my request for anyone's experience.

[ModernAndy]

One thing that does come to mind is has he been summonsed to appear in court or is it a fixed penalty?

[Gramrugby]

Neither yet. Standard letter of intention to prosecute asking for details of driver at the time of offence.

Likely be 3 points and £100 fine and he will need to tell his insurers and could mean a increase in the premium at next time of renewal.

Many thanks for the responses guys.
