    Read this. We don't give legal advice on the forum. It would be in your best interests to get yourself a solicitor and take it from there.

    It doesn't matter that the roads were empty nor that no one was hurt.

    The penalty can be a fine and/or 6 months in prison for dangerous driving.

    Probably best for you if you consult a solicitor. Some judges take this very seriously, especially for doing 30kph above the limit in a built up area.

    The summons will come any time between now and 6 months from the date of the offence.
