Oh dear... that means that the third offence here is going to
result in a 6 month 'totting up' ban for reaching 12 points.

I had to go back and check..so I had an endorsment course in
2022 for speed, a speed fine on November 2023 which I got 3
points for and this year I had this speed fine in question in
april 2024 and a yellow box fine with tfl in August, so speed
fine this year only 1..somhow I felt like I had more ;D
so Hopefully this one is the only SJPN I get

As already explained, points are not "taken", they are added.
There is no such thing as an "endorsment course". If there was a
course, there would be no endorsement, and vice-versa. Which was
it?
The yellow box "fine" from TfL was a civil penalty, which is
irrelevant.
Can you please clarify EXACTLY what is currently on your licence
record?

You probably didn't see it but I had already clarified on
previous posts that I only have 3 points from December 2023.
Apologies for wrong terms used, I meant o say that I did the
speed awareness course in November 2022.
That's it, I've had no other point.

Just one last question..
when pleading guilty, is if better if I chose to attend court of
it won't make much difference in term of getting away with a
cheaper fine?

It's very unlikely to make any difference. Sentencing usually
simply follows the guidelines.
Even if it were to reduce the fine, you'd have to offset that
against a day of your time plus travel costs.
