I have been summoned to court regarding a speeding offence. Caught speeding at 96mph in a 60 mph limit. Laser Gun by officer sat in a marked car and later followed and stopped by police car. What possible outcomes are to be expected for this offence please? My driving licence is clean at present and i need my licence for full time and part time work and to visit my children. Many Thanks,

Fortunately you were under the magic 100 mph which raises a presumption of disqualification. I do not think that you will be disqualified on this first offence but you do need to put together an argument of special reasons why you should not be disqualified in case you come before an unsympathetic bench. Such reasons will include the points you mention for needing to drive and you should also mitigate the seriousness of the offence by explaining the circumstances at the time.
It may be worth having representation at court from a solicitor with experience of motoring offences.
