Hi Jim,
Yes i got a brief and think he made all the difference. He advised me that the court could have dealt with this in two ways.
1) To give me an instant ban for driving over 30mph over the limit which would not give me additional points and would not be totted up to the ones i had. As this ban is usually weeks rather than months then i would be able to keep my job as i can make short term sacrifices (and more significantly with sacrifices made by family, friends and colleagues) to make sure that i make it to work and visit the places i need to within my job.
2) 6 points would be added to the ones i have which i have already and would take me over the 12 points mark and subsequently a ban. With this option i would have been looking at a longer ban (probably 6 months) and subsequently would have had to plea exceptional hardship as i would have lost my job and as a result my family would have suffered for my stupidity. As my brief was satisfied that this was genuinely the case he informed the court that my plea of hardship would have reduced my ban to probably the same duration as item 1 any way.
This hardship plea can only be used once over a period of 3 yrs and was the real benfit of option 1 that i would not need it as for the short term i could avoid losing my job.
Fortunately for me the court agreed with my brief tha option 1 was sufficient for me especially as my employer had written to the court to confirm the mandatory requirement for a licence in order to carry out my work and also that they had explained the seriousness of the incident to me and were satisfied of my genuine regret.
Hope the above makes sens, if not ask and i'll try to explain it better.
As for my vehicle i will not be changing it as the problem has not been with the vehicle but with the idiot behind the wheel.
I think your comments about re-training are good ones and i'll probably look into it
cheers
