Speeding ticket

Ryan1135

Hi there
I recently been caught speeding in Hertfordshire last month on my way to work on rods I had never driven on. where I was given a speed awareness course for 35 in 30 However I haven’t taken it yet. On Saturday by a variable speed camera I was caught on the m25 going 64 in 50 as the speed limit had changed and Its totally my bad. I’ve got no points on my license. I’ve got two weeks left on my new driver probationary period (2 years). Does anyone know what kind of punishment I would receive?
Any comments would be helpful.

3 points and £100 fine if you accept the fixed penalty. If you go to court and lose it will be the same points but cost more.

Get your speed awareness sorted ASAP or that will turn into 3 points too.

I’ve got my driver course booked for the 9th Feb. So I should only get three points and a fine even though I’m a new driver and have been caught twice in 2 months? This is a lesson learned
Thank you

As a long time driver with no points on my licence .... ever, my advice to new drivers is THINK .... excess speeds will not get you where you are going any quicker. You will also use up more fuel

I have a 3.0 engine and it always make me smile when at traffic lights there is a junior revving their 1.6 engine in a bid to be first off, not even seeing what I have already seen .... a police camera van ahead

After your course, don't expect that will be available to you again if you get caught in the next few months.

And as you must declare points to your insurance company, continue getting points and you'll be priced off the road

Correct. The first offence will be dealt with by successfully taking the course. That attracts no points. The second offence will be dealt with by Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty which is 3 points and £100 providing you accept the offer.

Slow down from now on because if you are caught again you will be in a spot of bother

access speeds will not get you where you are going any quicker. You will also use up more fuel

But it doesn't half impress their mates in the back seats, especially the ones in back to front baseball caps, refusing to wear seatbelts!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust .......

When buying a new car I've gone from asking "is it fast" to "is it comfy"?

Thank you, even though I haven’t been took the course yet will this affect the points I receive or will the offer be three points and £100 fine

You will have the option to go on the course or just admit. Ignore the course and get the full penalty points

It's a fixed penalty. Fixed means it's well....fixed at 3 points and £100. Fixed as in a fixed point not as in repaired.
