Speed Camera help pleeese

I'm worried. Does anyone know what the likelyhood is that I'll get a Fixed penalty or Court. Basically, I think I have been caught today doing over 60mph in a 40mph zone. I thought it was the end of the zone and speeded up down a hill to see a speed van with the doors open facing me. What I'm asking is what is likely to happen now as I am really worried and have never had any speeding ticket ever. I have obviously done wrong but I was anxious to get to a job interview. I am a single parent unemployed for 4 months. Any advice, experiences gratefully received, thanks .

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

As far as I know, you'll get a letter through the post. If you admit to the offence, it's just a case of paying up and getting the points put on your licence. It's only if you refuse to admit that it goes to court (I think).

First, they have to send a NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution) to the registered keeper within 14 days of the alleged offence.

This has to be completed, naming the driver, within 28 days. If you get one of these, I would head over to the forum at www.pepipoo.com to get more detailed advice.

The bad news, if you were zapped doing over 60 in a 40 limit, you may not get a fixed penalty, it's likely to be a court summons with a potential 4 or 5 points and a £200 fine.
