  • If you cause death by speeding - up to 14 years in prison, unlimited fine, disqualification for at least 2 years, 3-11 penalty points.
  • If you endanger life by speeding - up to 2 years in prison, unlimited fine, disqualification, 3-11 penalty points.
  • If you are driving carelessly or inconsiderately - unlimited fine, possible disqualification, 3-9 penalty points.
  • Plain old speeding - up to £1000 fine (£2,500 on a motorway), possible disqualification, 3-6 penalty points.

As a general rule, you will only be prosecuted for speeding if you were caught travelling more than 10% + 2 of the speed limit and you will only be summonsed to court if you were travelling more than 26 mph above the limit (for speed limits 40+), 15 above a 20 or 20 above a 30.

If you were travelling 10% + 2 above the limit, not going fast enough to be summonsed to court you will receive a fixed penalty notice of £100 and 3 points - if it is your first speeding offence, you may be offered a drivers awareness course that you must fund and attend, this will be in lieu of a fine and points.

And points or motor offences will drastically increase your insurance costs.
