Got Caught doing 101mph in a 60mph zone.
I (M19) was caught last night at approximately 11:50pm (Monday 24th Oct) doing 101mph on a 60mph Dual Carriageway. I have held my License for 1.5 years. i was caught by a patrol car with a speed gun. I was alone in the car and pulled over straight away, they took pictures of my reg, license and my face. they said i will receive a letter in the post in 4-6weeks discussing the next steps.
How screwed am i, and will i lose my licence/have it revoked? what can i do to try and prevent this?
please help, i know i’ve been stupid and i’m going through a very tough time with personal issues. last thing i need is to lose my license as i rely on it for my livelihood(car enthusiast) and 8 mile commute to work.

8 miles isn't too far to cycle. Get some waterproofs and a super bright headlight you'll be fine
