58 in a 40
By: AlbaZeus Date: December 4, 2025, 2:36 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi
Recently rented a transit van from enterprise to move house.
Received an email stating they'd been contacted regarding a
moving violation.
Emaied back and they provided the form from the camera unit off
Police Scotland informing I'd been snapped by a fixed camera
doing 58 in a 40.
The road in question is a dual carriageway but is indeed a 40.
New to the area so must have missed the sign although no excuse.
Anyway clean licence, been driving 23 years so was wondering
possible consequences?
It's in Scotland if that makes..a difference

Assuming you don't have 9 points or more on your licence, that
would be a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.

Is going unsigned still an option in Scotland?

Have Enterprise responded to the police? You must not, until the
police contact you.

Yes Enterprise have advised me they have sent my details on to
the Police.
I have not responded to the Police as I haven't had any
correspondence from them as yet.

It means you complete the S172 but don’t sign your name. Can you
search this site for references to going unsigned to read about
the implications.

To be honest I'd rather just take the 3 points and fine without
the hassle of dealing with police at my door for an unsigned
form.
I'm happy to take responsibility for my actions, was just
curious of the potential outcome of doing 58 in a 40 as I have
never been hit with a speeding ticket.
