Parking Ticket - Same Camera

Hi,

I've had a clear licence for 12 years but recently got a speeding ticket/NIP (38 in a 30). I sent it back having ticked the option to go on the speed awareness course.

4 days later, I got another ticket.

I had to recently renew my licence and get the new address put on it so my post is redirected and there's obviously several days between when something is sent and received.

Yes, I'm an idiot for going over 30mph but I'm not a reckless driver. Now, I'm concerned that in the time I didn't know about these, I've been driving down that road slightly over the limit.

If I'd got the first ticket naturally I would have taken extra care or found a different route (and slowed down).

I know it's hard to defend going over the limit but most of us have. I'm just what chance there will be of leniency or what can I do?

Thanks.
