good luck. I was done for speeding (quite excessively- wot for 4 secs from 40kmh rolling start) and lost mine for 12 months. that is sa which is tough on speeders, but I had no priors, good character references, and need my car to run my business (im a tradey). dont waste time with lawyers- they tell you want you want to hear and you get the same sentence anyway- just with less money in your pocket. look if you speed then you deserve the penalty, no ways about it. the fact that you have no priors may make a difference and shows that your an all round good guy on the street (like me) may sway them to give you the benefit of the doubt. I hope so mate. I have had my licence back now for nearly 2 months and never want to go there again. it was a tough year. whatever happens, learn from your mistake and think twice about your speed always. good luck.
