To be honest after giving a lift to a guy i work with to court for the same reason. I took a seat watched what happens (3 weeks ago).
There were about 10 cases infront of my fellow work mate and all of them were rejected. Except for a courier driver who had lost his licience not because of speed but because of too many parking fines...
The judge guy said to all those speeding, its for your own good. Slow down and if i see any of you again you loose it for 3 years...
I thought to my self this is very hard. 2 of the guys were apprentice, one was an electrician and the other was a plumber. So both of them had really good reasons to get their liciences back and the gudge said no with out even blinking an eye...
They are cracking down big time...
The fact that you were on a good behaviour licience is gonna kill you in court...
