if you need to drive for work then sometimes they will increase the points/fine instead of baning i think

Probably just 3 points, but if it goes to court they'll give you 6 for being naughty.

depends on county your in.
Some places would just give you 3pts and a fine, others will try do you for more seems you were so far over the limit.
Where was there a camera on a 70mph road though? They are meant to be in accident black spots which are normally never 70mph.

if it does go to court then contest why they had the cameras where they did, etc.

if they dont say who was driving then the company can be fined a couple of grand so dont let them do that. And doubt someone else will take your points!

If you were doing 80mph on a 70mph road, a motorway that is, a traffic cop wouldn't have bothered you at all i dont think. Even just over 80 you'd probably be ok.
I've seen a few traffic cop programs and they wouldn't chase this car that was doing 84mph, wasn't worth bothering with! Typical!
