How Many Points For Speeding?
If you're wondering how many points you'll get for speeding then this speeding points / fine calculator can be used to see what the Magistrates' Court sentencing guidelines for speeding recommends for alleged speed offence.
This is for use when you have received a court summons for speeding and not when you have received a fixed penalty (unless you wish to contest the penalty at court).

These can be put forward by a motoring solicitor during a court appearance. Possible factors that can be used in court are listed below.
