2 x speeding fines in 2 days

Apologies if this isn't the right section.

A colleague of mine has been done 3 times in 2 days. Same camera in a 30 mph zone. He thought it was a 40. Poor excuse, obviously.  Theres a 39mph, 38mph and 35mph. Two fines within 1 hour of each other.

Is there any option here to plead stupidity? Or suck up the 9 points? Hes done a course 1 year ago.

Thanks for any advice.

    The 35 in isolation he might have been given a speed awareness course but this looks like a serial offender, the last course attended stays recorded for three years so that's out, and if he cannot work out speed limit signs after that what hope is there.
    FTLA is the place to take this but I would not hold any hope!

    Hopefully there is not another NIP on the way which will result in a topping up ban.
