yeah but would you have admitted the speeding charge , if you thought you had a chance of getting off with it, if the potential punishment was a 20 year stretch? No, you'd have fought the speeding charge. Many people take the pragmatic view of not fighting it, get a credit for throwing your hand in and a lighter sentence, get it over with and move on. No way did we expect a 10pt deduction because it was hugely disproportionate and unprecedented. Perhaps we accepted the charge anticipating that there was a £3m fine incoming along th lines of what Leicester had for a similar matter,
