       NIP for speeding (24mph in 20mph zone) completed awareness
       course 1 day before for previous offense

       Hello good samaritans,
       I have recieved an NIP today, please see below:

       Bit of background:
       1. I drive a leased vehicle and my details must have been shared
       by keeper.
       2. I got a previous speeding notice (caught by camera on 30th
       April, completed speed awarenss course on 8th July, 2024).
       It's interesting that this fresh alleged on the same vehicle
       occured just 1 day BEFORE I completed the speed awareness
       course. I don't know if this is relevant but thought I should
       share. I had got a similar letter last time where I filled the
       form and subsequently logged into ndors.org
       I can still access my account on ndors.org, it doens't YET show
       this new offense. I wasn't aware of this forum when I got the
       letter last time but thought to post here before doing anything
       at all this time. Please advise what's my best course of action
       here.

       No taking the course the day before makes no odds.
       How on earth would this show on NDORS as you’ve not only not
       taken a course for it but you haven’t even yet been identified
       as the driver!
       You’ll get a conditional offer of a fixed penalty once you
       confirm you were driving, read the instructions on sending
       licence details carefully!

       I knew that, was just highlighting the obvious that I haven't
       acted on the letter yet.

       So basically, I should simply fill the form and send back like
       last time?
       I suppose not worth challenging this, pay £100 and live with 3
       points on my license for now?

       You can't "challenge" it.
       You either  accept the FP (£100) or not. If not, you will be
       referred to court, where you can plead not guilty. Unless you
       have a good defence (which you haven't mentioned) you will be
       found guilty, at a cost nearer £1,000.

       Many thanks, out of curiosity what can be a good defence? Faulty
       speed camera/medical emergency?
       I suppose even then if would require going to court, so just not
       worth it, even if that.
       Also, is there any grace allowed over 20mph?

       There are lots of possible good defences, but as we don’t make
       thinks up you can tell us of the scenario.
       Technical defences would be a defective Traffic Regulation Order
       (that sets the limit) or signage (that tells you of that limit).
       Most speed cameras are very accurate, I’m not sure what type is
       fitted on VE.
       Yes,as in all limits grace is +10%+2mph so 24 in a 20, you were
       caught at the lowest detected speed they enforce.

       ??
       Grace is 10% + 1 and enforcement from 10% + 2?

       Thanks, I will respond to the notice online.
       It seems even if there was a compelling reason to appeal (faulty
       camera for example), the hassle of going to court would rarely
       be worth it, unless too many points already on licence.

       Enforcement starts at +10% +2mph, noting that as speed cameras
       round down, that means no enforcement up to 23.99mph.

       It says: "Please return the filled in and signed document to the
       address above."
       You can only respond online if you were not the driver.
