Just got back from Cyprus and there's a letter from the fuzz 
94 in a 70. It's been sat on my mat since last week so will need to post it ASAP.
The letter states: 14 days for your car 21 days for a company car. Hopefully I'll get 3 points and £60 as 86mph is the speed awareness course.

It will probably be between 4-6 points, and 75%-125% of your weekly income as a fine.

I got a 3pointer & £60 fine for 97 on the A5 dual carriageway across Anglesey....
So you might get away with it.
I could of kissed the copper who told me that, I was doing over a ton when I crested the hill.....hahahaha
Still made the Ferry too

I had this on the link road between Cardiff and the M4; he showed me the footage and I was doing 106mph at one point. He asked me what I did and I said sales manager and he looked around the vehicle and asked if it was a company car to which I replied yes. He then gave me 3 points and a £60 fine. As you say, I could've kissed him as a ban would've been horrific. He said my lane discipline and braking distances were sound and that it was clear that I spent a fair amount of time on the road. He was almost apologetic when he gave the ticket. Top bloke!

I think you probably need a speedo awareness course 
94mph is probably >100 indicated on the speedo

Was this in a temporary roadwork stretch or haven't you been caught for driving like a hero through them yet?

i thought it said in the highway code that you are allowed to exceed the speed limit in order to safely overtake slower moving vehicles for up to a 1/4 of a mile.but must reduce speed to inside the limit straight away after making the manouver. poss defence if it goes to court
