An update all, Good news! offered a course, with hefty course cost of £100 but I guess I can't complain :)
-
If I don't get offered a course, is there a way to like contact the department or try and request a course - I believe the last course would have been a very long time ago.
We try to avoid hypotheticals (what-ifs), but I do believe that a Scottish bloke called Mr Bell has recently invented a device that allows for sound based communications at significant distances. Even more recently, a system of sending something called electronic mail was invented. I understand that it is becoming quite popular.
Some times, courses are not offered when the criminal scum ion question ought to have qualified. This happened to me once. I was told that it was because they hadn't bothered to check whether or not I was eligible. I prefer to believe that it was related to the safety camera manger having my photo on a dart board in his office.

You should be offered a course for that speed, assuming that you haven't done a course for a speeding offence within 3 years before the current (unspecified) alleged speeding offence.
Let me fill it in and send it across, I assume they'll send a letter back informing me of what is next if its a course else if not then the fine and penalty points to be incurred.

It's a standard template letter used for both speeding and red light offences, if the camera is capable of detecting speeding and red light offences, no speed will be shown if it is a red light offence. So basically ignore it.
You must name the driver else you will commit a far serious offence. There are no magic bullet defences.
Got it thanks for clarifying on the redlight front, yep I was the driver so I'll be putting my self down :)

Question is what options do I have
See below
I assume I'll have to fill it in as the driver then await to see if they offer a course?

No other chance of appealing or countering?
Not based on what little you have told us.

Guys
Managed to get a speeding ticket for going 35mph in 30mph at A644 Huddersfield Road, Adjacent to The Malting, Mirfield can't even remember this or the location, as it was so late at night.
It does say the following 'The speed of the vehicle on this occasion was recorded at 35mph (not recorded for the red light offences). - What is the latter in the bracket about, was there red light camera that I happened to have skipped? which I deffinitly do not remember taking place.

I haven't attached the NIP as stated in the read first.
