Mate gone done doing about a 100 on his R plates on the M2, yes he was an idiot, managed to get his boss to right a grovelling letter to the judge, managed to get 6points so had to resit his test, no ban though. Oh he was in his R plates due to just getting his licence back 20 months before for a drink driving charge.

Solicitor is the first port of call a decent one at that
I lost the books myself, back in the day
2 points on Rs for no R plate
Then Court for dangerous driving (sunday afternoon, country road left hander onto my road handbrake..... police around the corner) - reduced to careless 6 points big fine and back to learner
Over the year of being in and out of court for the DD got 66 in a 40 court again, at this stage was already on Ls took another 3 and points and a fine...... so 11 points on the Ls done the Test again the following week, done deliveries for a few years lesson learnt
never had a point since that was 10 years ago
Take it on the chin learn from your mistakes

I got done twice for speeding within my 2 years and had to resist my test. No ban though. So you will need to make a plea that you require your car for work/school/uni or something to get off with just 5/6 points. Best case is 5 points, second best is resist your test, worst case is a ban as you were twice over your legal speed.

Armagh is worse by far for young driver's get caught in tyrone and you'd get off with it no problem. Seen two people got caught one at 110 on a 70 off his R's though got 5 points, other at 127 off his R's got 3 month ban or something well under what he should of for the speed. Different districts have different views on it all imo.

I honestly don't know dude, depends on them and what it say's on the summons. I know some summons have been sent out days after getting caught. Sit tight get on to a solictor and a letter or something from work signed up by the manager and owner or if your in uni the head of something and hope for the best.

The police officer said the summons would be out in 2 ta 3 months but never give me anything is that normal ?
I got a letter through eventually, think it was june/july after being stopped in February to say my lisence would be revoked after the 19th or something like that. Had my lisence back 2 weeks later after completing my theory and test.
I call bullsh1t.
