Speeding - Fixed penalty or court summons?
Options
Someone I know was caught by a mobile camera van @ 45mph in a 30. Reading the notice of indented prosecution it states that the threshold for a speed awareness course extends only to 42mph or 43mph (I forget which, but either way it was below 45).
Will this automatically result in a court summons or is there a chance it could still be dealt with using a fixed penalty?

Her 1st ever. Annoyingly due to forgetting the braking point where limit changes from 50 to 30 entering our village!“Like a bunch of cod fishermen after all the cod’s been overfished, they don’t catch a lot of cod, but they keep on fishing in the same waters.

Makes no difference how many offences unless the three points would take the driver to 12 or more, when a fixed penalty would not be offered. Courses are normally offered up to 42mph and fixed penalties (£100 and 3 points) up to 49mph in a 30mph limit. The various thresholds can be found in section 9 of this document:

Fixed penalty is usually offered up to 50mph in a 30 limit.1

So long as he has no more than 8 points currently, it’s irrelevant.Grey_Critic said:First - Second - Third offence?0 -
Thanks, I'll tell her to stop worrying.“Like a bunch of cod fishermen after all the cod’s been overfished, they don’t catch a lot of cod, but they keep on fishing in the same waters.
