Hi Probably should have read some information on this site before going ahead with my situation .Anyway just seeing if this is the norm in this type of speeding offence.I received a Notice of Intended Prosecution for speeding offence captured on a fixed camera 35mph in a 30. Various factors meant I was feeling particularly hard done by. I am not eligible for a Speed awareness course, this was on Christmas Day and I was on the way to hospital for a believed family emergency.Therefore I requested a court appearance and after reading the SJP paperwork I pleaded guilty/mitigation and submitted my account detailing time after speeding offence that the family member was seen by Doctor at A+E. Also stating I have written evidence of this and Doctor who saw us.A very quick turnaround to my online response.Result of court case I have ended up with 3 points(expected) and then £231 fine plus £90 costs and £92 victim surcharge.So I have managed to turn what would have been 3 points and £100 into 3 points and £413 fine.Jackpot.

There is no rationale or explanation shown on the court letter received. Does this outcome sound about right still? Not very happy and looks an expensive lesson. The courts are not easy to contact for any explanation .Appreciate any opinions or Told you so responses either way.
