Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi All. I need some advice. I received 2 speeding fines (~ 25mph in a 20mph) within one month of one another (on same road). I received notice of first fine and on request for doing a course, fine an/or points I opted for the speed awareness course. But then that same week the notice for second fine came through. I wrote a letter to the service to ask if the course could be considered for both. I did not receive a response so assumed it was fine. Sat the course. Then a few months later got a Single Justice Procedure Notice?!?

I'd like to contest as do feel like I was trying to find a solution but got ignored until it came to this.

Timeline
16th Aug. 2024 - First speeding offence
07th Sep. 2024 - Second speeding offence
Can't remember exact date but letter of offer for speed awareness course. 
15th Sep. 2024 - Letter sent to Metropolitan Police for course to cover both offenses
15th Sep. 2024 - Speed awareness course booked
03rd Oct. 2024 - Completed speed awareness course
20th Feb 2025 - Received a Single Justice Procedure notice.

I’m considering pleading guilty, as I acknowledge the offence, but I need to understand the full consequences, including potential penalties, impacts on my driving record, and any long-term effects.
Alternatively, I’d like to know what to expect if I plead not guilty, including the formal court process and any risks involved.

Anyone had any similar experience?
I’d appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have navigated a similar situation.

We can’t advise on the impact of the second offence without more details - speed limited, alleged speed and so on.

Thanks. Updated original message.
Both offences were around 25mph in a 20mph zone.

Your timeline does not include separate entries for receiving/responding to the NIP/S1/72 request(s) and receiving/responding to the subsequent COFP/Awareness course offer (if you were eligible). Or were they "super-NIPs" which include both if you are immediately admitting being the driver? You would never have been eligible for a second course or for the one course to cover both offences - it just doesn't work like that.

So, what exactly did you receive/reply to for the second offence? If you didn't reply properly to a COFP, then it would simply have defaulted to the SJP you got.

Why will I still be convicted if I am pleading not guilty and case is valid
- or is that on assumption that court would not find in my favour
- based off your own experience with similar scenarios

Thanks again!

Because “I wrote them a letter and they didn’t reply” isn’t a defence.

Speeding is a criminal offence, but it is not recordable - so no criminal record (as regards ordinary disclosure).

Double check what you have been charged with - is it a dual failure to furnish and speeding as your timeline is not clear if you replied with the driver's details?
