Free Traffic Legal Advice

Absolutely no chance.

Courses are offered instead of going to court, once you’ve been taken to court it’s too late.

The Conditional offer of fixed penalty is your best option.

The course is presumably not offered because now it’s too late to book and take the course within 6 months, after which they can not prosecute you.

Offence was 29th June, so within timeframe.

Hi all

Looked through the forum and cant find a case similar to what im about to ask, but presume there will be one somewhere.

Currently got 0 points

Daughter got a letter stating her car was doing 81MPH on the M62, where the limit was 70MPH.

We received this letter 5 weeks after it was sent as we'd moved, and Royal Mail didnt forward it.

I was driving so she nominated me, then i sent the letter back confirming as much ... presumed id get the offer of a Speed Awareness Course, but i merely got the 3 points plus £100 fine.

Is it worth going to court to ask to do the Speed Awareness course as i fall within the guidelines, or will that just get me 6 points, court costs and a larger fine?

Reason being a few weeks after this i then got caught doing 43MPH in a 30 zone and will accept the fine/points for this ... but obviously want to keep the points tally as low as possible.
