Speeding, London 20 miles zone - NIP
DIR By: abhishek1989

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi - I received a NIP for doing 35 in a 20 zone in East London.
It’s completely my fault, and I totally accept that. I have a
clean licence with no points. What’s the best-case scenario in
this situation? Has anyone had any recent experiences with a
similar speeding offence? What are the odds for an FPN here?
Thanks for your help.

Unless you've attended a Speed Awareness course in the last
three years, you'll be offered the option of that or a fixed
penalty.
The latter is £100 and three points. The course will cost about
the same, but with no points. It will take 3-4 hours of your
time, and can usually be taken online.

For 35 in a 20?
I think this will more likely be a summons.

You're right. I misread it as 35 in a 30.

Thank you! Is there anything that I can do (plead guilty
quicker) to be considered for a FPN than a summons?

No.
It's going to court. They have 6 months to commence the
prosecution and they often leave it to the last moment (just
when you thought they had forgotten). However, you'll be able
to plead guilty by post and hopefully they won't require your
presence to consider a ban.
It will be 4-6 points (likely 5) and a fine of one week relevant
earnings plus costs and surcharge (40% of the fine).

Not really, the limits for offering a fixed penalty are strictly
adhered to, so any speed in a 20 that is over 34 will proceed to
court (via a Single Justice Procedure Notice).

This could be me. I also recd an NIP this week for doing 35 on a
20 East London road last week. Absolutely gutted as I've never
had a ticket in over 20 years of driving and my licence is as
clean as whistle. Sunday morning on a straight road that wasn't
even in a residential area, and there was no one around. Even at
30mph limit, I'd still be over. So pissed off with myself.
Anyway, I sent a note with the NIP, apologising, but I don't
suppose it'd make any difference. What a totally shitty year I'm
having. Can't afford a fine and don't even think I could bring
myself to attend court.

SJPN speeding: do I have to provide income details, and what
happens if I don’t?
DIR By: PixelNomad42
Date: June 23, 2026, 4:43 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I’ve received a Single Justice Procedure Notice for speeding:
35mph in a 20mph limit.
I wanted to ask whether it is mandatory to provide financial
information to the court when responding to an SJPN.
My weekly income is above £440. If I choose not to provide my
income details, would the court normally use the default weekly
income figure of £440 when calculating the fine, or could there
be any negative consequences for leaving the financial
circumstances form blank?
I’m not trying to avoid providing information; I’m just trying
to understand if you're legally reqiured to provide it and if
it's mandatory?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
