Well none are required anyway.
Plus had you exited a road with an existing 20 limit then no
terminal signs would be needed either.

So you can tell them - in your own words - to "poke it up your
bum"?
Or was that just false bravado?
If you're offered a course, take it.

Yes, exactly what i am going to do, tell them to poke it up
thier bum, theres like £8 difference cost between the course and
the fine, ill take the points and not lose three hours of my
life being droned on at about doing 26 in in a now 20mph major A
road, these 20MPH zones, LTN's and the like are a farse, driven
by cyclists with clip boards who contribute zero to poy for all
the stupid ill placed bike lanes.
Actually, i wonder if the mamil's will abide by the highway code
of not overtaking on the left now they can actually go faster
than a car is allowed to. ::)

anyway... so im not tasking the course, do i need to do
anything, it seems that i just ignore the course and then they
will send out the fine ? going forward ill keep the sat nav on
that will warn me of 20mph zones and where the cameras are.

Seems a pity that you should decide unnecessarily to accept 3
points because of a couple of falsely held preconceived notions
you have...
As I explained previously, I attended a course last year and
found it rather helpful with no droning and no talking down and
not at all an inconvenience. You might have found that
attending one would have been quite informative if you drive for
a living. You might have discovered, for example, that a 20mph
limit doesn't necessarily have to have roundels on the road.
You also might have learned that 20mph limits have nothing to do
with cyclists and rather a lot more to do with extensive
scientific evidence proving that 20 mph limits significantly
reduce the risk of serious injury to pedestrians.
But of course you don't want to know any of that...

They send out a conditional offer of a fixed Penalty, not a
fine. A fine you have a pay, a CoFP you don’t.

They might do that. Or they might decide to prosecute you in
court. Their choice.

No they dont want to spend that money on little old me, anyway,
i just thought i would check in see if there was any last ditch
ways out of this stealth tax/money trap.
Is there a period that they have to respond by or send the
notice CoFP by ? because i just received it and its dated the
1st of August.

There is no legal requirement to issue a COFP. Strangely enough
there is no legal requirement to issue the COFP that there is no
legal requirement to issue within any particular timescale. The
only issue would be if the suspended enforcement period (28 days
from date of issue) extended beyond the 6 month limit to
instigate court proceedings.
