Hey guys I hope you can help me, just received a notice of intended prosecution for going 74 on the M1 jn 6a-7, the variable speed limit was 50 on this stretch:( Honestly didn't know the cameras were in action and ignored the variable speed limit signs.

Problem is I passed my test in sept 2013 and am worried this means an instant ban! Am I right? Should I accept the offence and risk the 6 points as im under 2 years holding a license?

Hope you guys can offer some advice on what to do here

Hey, sorry I can't offer any advice however we have these on the M6 and I was only with my friend last week who sped through them and said they didn't work although he hasn't recieved anything in the post as far as I know. How long did it take for the letter to come? Im sure I have never riligously stuck to those bariable limits either.

Not the best intro for a new member. We do have a welcome section for new members.
I don't think its the help of a RRS forum you need, i think you need to sit your test again.
Why ignore a speed limit
Its restricted for a reason. Safety.
Don't be surprised if you get banned. In my opinion, you deserve it.

Learn to obey the rules. Too many numpties on the road.

i agree with Ady, speed limits are there for a reason....

..and do you actually have a RRS?

Thats the trouble with new drivers ,think they are the greatest. They go off as soon as they get a full licence. With a powerful vehicle, and drive at 24 MPH over the speed limit. Get caught out and then cry i didn't think the cameras were working. Well news for you they were working itisme

Wow! You guys take yourselves way too seriously. This is obviously a wind-up. Why would ANYONE (let alone a new driver) join a (random?) motoring forum and start by asking for advice after doing limit + 24mph and ignoring speed signs & cameras thinking they were insignificant and/or inactive? Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Im struggling to understand if someones having a laugh here, what benefit do they get out of that post? I don't get it. Am I missing something?

Same "benefit" that some people get by deliberately starting rumours and spreading misinformation. Not all rumours fall in this category though, some can be very lucrative

I don't get it either but apparently it is a character trait. Have a read if you are interested: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
