Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

So I receieved a speeding fine through mobile enforcement, and it was in my work van. I submitted my details to the fleet management company, and then it was issued to me, where I admitted to the fault, can't remember which section I filled in. It said on the letter a SA may be offered.

Fast forward 15th September, I get a letter giving me only 2 options, £100 + 3 points, or court.

No Speed Awareness course was offered. I know I've left it very late, and not much time is left to respond.

But I have an otherwise clean license which I need for my employment (I believe the company does allow for upto 6points, but I am not sure on that).

Is there no way to "appeal" for a speed awareness course? I understand the police are under no obligation to offer one, but I was hoping to find someone I could write to maybe? And politely ask, and explain I strive to keep a clean license as I rely on it for my work.

EDIT:

Option B was: If you wish to decline or are unable to accept this offer, or want to contest this offence please request a magistrates' court hearing by writing to the address at the top of this leter.

I don't know if it helps, but the letter arrived on 20th September, despite being dated 15th Sept.

The date and time of the original event was 29/07/2025.

Kind regards.

Usual reason with company vehicles is after going through a chain of recipients, there is a the risk of a time out. But with 4 months left that didn't seem to be a danger.

I take it you haven't done a course in the previous 3 years?

It was in England.

I had a course about 3 or 4 years ago 22 in a 20, or something.

I've not found any reliable numbers to call. The one I found was only open between 9am and 12pm. And when I finally managed to call, they had some message about system issues so they cannot take calls?

It was something yes. It probably was around the 24 mark. I cannot remember. I can try and find some paper work or something, if it's required?
