Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Caught doing 37mph in a 20mph zone.

Speaking from experience and to manage your expectations, I was caught doing the same as you, I was given 6 points and a very hefty fine!

Sadly I am yes, hence the slight panic of seeing the camera flash.

The Flame Pit / M23 - variable speed limit
« on: December 21, 2025, 02:04:25 pm »
Travelling home early hours of this morning after finishing a night shift and the variable speed limit sign on the M23 was illuminated to state a speed of 50mph has been imposed, it had already been changed to 60mph prior to the 50mph so I was slowing down anyway doing 60mph. At the time of the speed change, I was slowing down and recall my speedo showing 53mph when I saw a flash on the camera in rear.

Have I been done for travelling at 53mph despite slowing down? At the time I was travelling in the 3rd lane and another car travelling seemingly faster than I was, was in the 4th lane so I'm not sure if the flash was for me or them.

Any advice appreciated.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: 35 in a 20 - no points on license, what can i expect?

I'd just send back the plea as quick as possible - they tend to look at this favourably.

I've just been done 5 points and a fine for doing the same speed - 35 in a 20.

If you've got a clean licence, hopefully this helps you.

I'd avoid wasting your money and the solicitors time to get something worded - if you word it as you have said in your post, they would probably question your driving in the first place.

Good luck!

Incredibly quick.

Which Judicial area dealt with the matter?

South West London Magistrates Court

I've logged onto view my driving licence online and it looks like I've been given 5 points plus a fine of £492 without any of the extra charges they will tag on...


That seems very quick if you only received the SJPN two days ago.

Yeah I know - I'm guessing it's because I submitted an online plea

Thanks - I'm aware they need to add on the other charges. By being able to see the endorsement online it is just a weight off my mind knowing that I am not looking at a ban.

The DVLA site shows the endorsement (points and endorsement code) and the fine. It does not show the surcharge or prosecution costs.

I will be driving very VERY carefully for the foreseeable. Lesson has been well and truly learnt.

Thanks for all your replies.

So today I received an SJPN to submit my plea.

I've just submitted a guilty plea, but I'm now wondering, does this mean I'm still at risk of being banned from driving or if they were going to do this, they would have done so already?

Thanks for any further advice.

Speeding and other criminal offences / 35mph in a 20mph
« on: March 12, 2025, 04:32:41 pm »
Received a NIP early February after being caught by a mobile camera device, doing 35mph in a 20mph zone.

Second offence, already have 6 points on my licence.

Received a response thanking me for my response and because I was going too fast, court proceedings are being initiated and I will receive communication shortly to advise of options available to me.

What am I looking at, realistically?

Please don't comment with anything unhelpful.
