It can - ticket is the standard fine, visit to court adds costs.

i got 3 points and £60 for a 50 in a 30
was a clear road but i was over the limit end of  anyway im very careful now as i cant get more then 6 points as im a newbe
What did amuse me though is the yellow ticket i got stated it was a purple nova when i drive a blue corsa  didnt argue though as i felt lucky it was 3 points . in theory though could i have argued this?
Anyway good luck and play it safe in the future

No, I was implying that in powerfull car, it is possible to triple most speed limits in the dead of night.
So, on a fast stretch of road with a low speed restriction in force, and travelling in a quiet car, particularly if you are distracted from monitoring your speed, you could probably quite easily do 40 - 50 mph without any mallice of forethought.
