That is a 3 point (only) offence, are you sure it says 4 on your driver record?

Clearly was not a parking ticket, as these do not attract points. So I suspect it was something else, although 4 points seems a strange number. What is the offence code on your driving record?

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: 52mph on a 40mph limit road council now want driver details

Very much doubt a council is sending driver request for a speeding offence. Yes a S172 must be compiled with or you will indeed be visiting a court.
Not sure what have been reading but I suggest you stop doing it.

So have you responded to each request naming yourself?

First question, are you the Registered Keeper (i.e. do you have the V5C document, in your name and current address)?

The Flame Pit / Re: On 6pts but possibly now 3 more - need some advice

Existing points have no bearing whether a course is offered or not. A course would normally be offered up to 10% + 9, so in a 70 MPH limit that would be 86.

No you need to stop sending them 6 names, it will just **** them off even more. Doing nothing further seems the best approach.

Based on the dates, it appears they started the SJPN process at the end of January, so in plenty of time. When you received it is largely irrelevant.

Could you just take holiday to cover a possible ban?

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: accident reported to insurance and not police now court summons
« on: February 04, 2026, 05:56:58 pm »
The police don't have be notified if it a non-injury accident AND details are exchanged at the scene. It seems the latter didn't happen. Usually the police will not prosecute if insurance companies are engaged, so this seems unusual.

Being late for a meeting isn't going to help you in anyway. I presume you are pleading guilty?
Expect 6 points (but a short ban up to 28 days is a possibility), plus a fine of around 100% of your weekly income (Reduced by a third for an early guilty plea). Plus costs and victim surcharge

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: M50 Bow Lane - speeding exceeding 70mph
« on: February 04, 2026, 10:46:08 am »Which going by your logic, why have they bothered putting the signs up along the other 155 miles of my route?Who is "they"? I suspect over that 155 mile route you have passed through several police force areas and councils. I think this horse has been flogged enough, let it RIP.
