Well, the background to this is that I was caught doing 101mph on the A449 (70mph) about 4 months ago. Hence, I was summoned to appear before Gwent (blackwood) magistrates court.
Got there about 9:15 and was first one there. Got there even before the judges. I was due to appear at 10:00. There were a few others there for speeding too. Anyway, went in and they read the charges, I plead guilty. They say they they are considering banning me and if I have anything to say about the offence or how that would affect me. I said yes, and I handed them 4 references that I had got off work, and other people high up that I knew well. I also had a load of things to say but as soon as they read the references they handed out the sentence....
£100 fine (+£35 costs) and banned for 7 days. NO POINTS
Should I be considering an appeal because I had more to say? They didnt let me speak much. Or should I just leave it?
