Re: Doing 42 in a 30, first time ever!!

Apologies I had to re-register as I no longer have access to my
old email account.
Anyhow, I responded to this and selected the option to do the
training, however I didn't hear anything back until today.
I received a conditional offer of fixed penalty which is either
the fixed penalty or court hearing.
I have a receipt for the original response I sent.
Any advice?

As above, the courses normally have to be completed within four
months of the offence, so too late.
Since you accept guilt, the best option now is to accept the
offer of the fixed penalty. Don't forget to supply your licence
details when you pay.

The response just asked me to send acceptance of course to the
address and nothing else and to await a response.
That's exactly what I did. I still don't understand! I didn't
receive any correspondence for arranging the speed awareness
course.

Due to the delay - caused by the RK's lateness in updating the
V5C, the course isn't on offer as the offence is now too close
to timing out (6 months). so the option is pay the £100 or go to
court. The latter requires a defence of course! Courts cannot
reinstate the course.
Unless you already have points, 3 on your licence are pretty
much irrevant.

Maybe, but you borrowed the car (insured one hopes) and exceeded
the limit? We've nearly all done it (the latter!). However 3
points is no big deal (unless you have some) and barely affects
insurance and the course is +/- the same cost as the fine, so
little lost in reality!

So with an offence date of 9/08/23 they must start proceedings
by 08/02/24, you have until 31/01 to accept the offer or gamble
on them failing to commence proceedings (by raising the written
charge) in that week. It's a big gamble but has some chance of
paying off.
