Three Speeding Tickets, a minute apart
Luisa114
Posts: 2 Newbie
I have received 3 speeding tickets, each 1 minute apart (so 22.41, 22.42 and 22.43) on the same road (though they are treating it as separate sections divided by roundabouts). It was a 30mph zone and I was going at 36, 36 and 42 mph.
I'm not sure whether to just accept the 3 fixed penalty notices and take 9 points or to go to court. I'm not disputing the offences though, so would that mean I'd have to appear in person? I would just be arguing that I think they should be treated as one offence.
My concern is that 1) I don't want to go to court, 2) if I do go to court/make submissions and they are rejected, could I end up with a higher fine that the 3 x £100 fixed penalty notices, as I will have rejected the offer of fixed penalty notices?
Any thoughts/advice much appreciated

As we major on private parking tickets here, PePiPoo will be your best bet for police tickets. If you do receive a ticket, register there but please note that a hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering and post a new thread; here's your link:Have a read through some of the other threads and use the NiP Wizard there before you post your own to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the police (both sides, if appropriate) as they need to see all the small print.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Thank you, that's much appreciated. Sorry, I thought police tickets were covered here too.0
