Have you ever lost your license before? Do you need your license legitimately for work?
If you have a clean record (no previous major tickets or suspensions) and you legitimately require your licence for your livelihood (the inconvenience factor doesn't count) then you would have a good solid chance of being issues with a section 10 if you go to court, alternatively you may be able to obtain a probationary licence for 12 months with one point to allow you to continue to drive.
Your strongest asset/defence in these ciercumstances is your attitude, and given your original post it seems you have come to terms with the fact that YOU are the one who is responsible and this isn't anyone else's fault (shit like, I didn't see the road sign/my bike was playing up/I had a guy chasing me etc).... This kind of "it wasn't my fault attitude will do nothing other than provoke the magistrate to double your fine and your suspension.
Go to court with the attitude of I stuffed up, I should have been paying more attention, I'm willing to pay the consequences of my actions however I would like to REQUEST that the court consider my circumstances and ALLOW ME THE PRIVELAGE to continue to use my licence.
I have seen it plenty of times... If you don't require your license for work and can do without it for three months if suggest copping it on the chin and learn your lesson.
