TBH, no-one can say, it'll depend on the judge and their mood, but given your previous convictions, i'd say they will throw the book at you.
Needless to say, your insurance over teh next 5 years will be pure comedy.
As my old man said, your not stupid for speeding, your stupid for being caught.

Maybe if you convinced them that you need your car for employment, or something to that effect

Unlucky mate
Normally, it will be a ban! Gutting I bet. Don't know if you say you're very very sorry etc you may get points and a huge/fine etc.
I got in the shit for that exact same thing once - "Driving without due care and attention and failing to stop and report an accident". Got out of it eventually, because I didn't actually hit anyone. Still made me feel like abit of a victim

thats what p1sses me off soooo much, people see the convictions and 5 points etc and assume i did something horrificly wrong, when it was only a missunderstanding tbh

exactly, i just wanted opinions on what ill be looking at from past experiances etc, not to be slated as i know what i did was stupid, wasnt as if it was 66mph past a school at 3.30, it was 11pm and on a quiet industrial road!

TBH though you do deserve to be called a tw@t for doing 66 in a 30 no matter what the time. Its a 30 for a reason and that sort of speed is just stupid.
Hopefully you'll get a decent ban

Sorry mate, but your in for a ban! I got caught just before mas up hill doing 58mph in a 30. I dont have to go to court, just pleed guilty, i think i'm looking to get 6 points and a fine.
Here's a link to a site to maybe give you some idea what your in for at least. Nothing for your speed exactly, plus all magistrates differ.
