No it won't go to court, they just want to know who was driving hun. Anything between 79mph and 96mph is a simple fixed penalty notice.

Don't worry too much, you'll be copping some points and a fine, but you won't get banned. Taken from the current guidelines from the Association of Chief Police officers (ACPO), 91mph in a 70mph zone:

Between 16-25mph over the posted limit: FINE £75-£130, PENALTY POINTS 4

Good luck, hope it works out in your favour. But like EY said, you shouldnt get banned.

It is standard procedure they send that letter thru to request the required driver details to ensure the appropiate person is penalised for speeding.

As EY says you are like to get the standard fixed penalty fine and points, and no further action, unless you appeal it, which will then lead to court, but personally i wouldnt bother as very rarely does the offender win.

Dont Panic Just a Fine and Points u naughty girl !!!
