20 years of Blemish free driving Alledged doing 40 mph in a 30mph area.(or first time ever been caught?) and I get a Notice of intended prosecution        What happens now?    :cry:

NiceBlueWellies:
Don't know what happens next, but I had one come through a couple of weeks after having sold my car (forms filled in straight away and sent off).  I filled in the notice received, accordingly, and sent it back.  Never heard another thing.  That was just before xmas a couple of years ago, so whoever bought my car had a nice xmas present.  :twisted:

Well my dad got pulled last year, after probably 40 years of safe or at least unnoticed bad driving.........all they did was made him go to a speed seminar. It cost him I think £50 for the seminar and then he had to get B & B too cos the seminar was in the town where he was caught..... dont think he was doing 40 in a 30 though,  think he was clocked at 36.  This also saved him getting any points on his license I believe.

Blu:
Although this is not an excuse,I assumed the speed was at 40mph, maybe I need to go back onto the road where this 'offence' occured and see if the signage was there to indicate this.

What is the law where points on licence happens?
how many can they give me,is it compulsary that I am given them,or is discretion used?

As I am now an 'alledged criminal' do I go off to court and make my plea,or Do I get a fine through the post along with an endorsment?

gtomo2:
the first letter you get is to confirm the driver details etc. you fill that bit in and send it back then in about 2 weeks you will get the fixed penalty notice this has the option on it of going to court if you want or just pay the fixed charge. I did the court option on mine and i still lost but they only did me the 3 points and £60. and that was my third in about 9 months after 20 years of not even a parking ticket :cry:  :?
