That will eventually go to court (it cannot be deal with by
fixed penalty/course) and you are looking at a ban of a matter
of weeks.
Along with an income-related fine, surcharge (40% of that fine)
and costs.

Thank you JustLoveCars. Are there any mitigating factors that i
can use? I dont have any points on my license.

The guidelines for 41 and above are a short ban (7 to 56 days),
or 6 points. The offence is at the very bottom of the range, so
6 points would seem likely.
There is very little that can be said in mitigation, and we
can't conjure up reasons from thin air - have you any
suggestions? It's very easy to offer something which actually
makes matter worse.

thank you 666, very helpful.
Never been to any courts or had any points so feeling anxious.
They recently changed that road from 30 to 20 and my fault for
forgetting about that.

Unless you indicate that you want to attend court and provided
you plead guilty, your case will initially be heard under the
“Single Justice” (SJ) procedure at a hearing which you cannot
attend.
If the SJ believes that points are appropriate you will be
sentenced by that court and informed of the outcome by post.
Only if the SJ believes that a ban should be considered will
your case be adjourned to a hearing in the normal Magistrates’
Court and you will be asked to attend.
As above, six points is the most likely outcome.

Also, your fault for forgetting that 42mph is considerably in
excess of 30mph and would have seen enforcement as well.

Thank you NewJudge for the info, very helpful.
Completely agree with you that 42 was way too much, my fault
entirely.
