    Hi,

    If I get caught doing more than twice the legal limit how likely is it I will go to prison?

    I would'nt like to hazzard a guess, but I should think you'd be in with a good shout!
    What have you been up to then?

    I don't think you will go to prison but you will loose your license for sure

    I would say that it would be more or less a dead cert judging from some previous cases in recent history, unless of course there were some exceptional circumstances. I believe some people have been imprisoned for far less than 160 mph. There was a bit of a crack down in the courts, but of course it might have changed. Personally I think it is crazy to imprison someone for speeding, unless of course they have caused an accident and caused injuries to others.

    depending on the circumstance. If you had a young pillion yes as happpend in the past.

    I can't see doing 160 on say a quiet road is worth the same as knocking over and killing/injuring a person due to dangerious driving should be in the same category but is often the case

    IMO All cases are different, as some have mentioned it's all down to circumstances, and perhaps mainly how you present yourself,
    It all depends I guess on two words. "dangerous Driving" if it's deemed you were indeed in the laws eye you were riding/Driving dangerously at all?
    First thing I'd say is keep off Internet search engines, these do nothing for you apart from causing worry and stress, take it as it comes.

    At this particular moment in time I'd be checking that I'd blurred my reg sufficiently in my album pictures.
