I have just opened a letter to say I have a final notice of Notice to Prosecute due to a speeding ticket (36 in a 30 zone which is a dual carriageway so I wrongly thought the limit was 40 and I was actually under the speed limit Confused.

I haven't seen the other letters and am happy (as such!) to pay & have done, the question is, when I ring them tomorrow can I just pay the speeding ticket? Or will they progress anyway? I haven't had a speeding ticket before in 18 years of driving, it's my first one, so I don't know what to expect, do I still have to fill the forms out etc? TIA!

Hi guys
I have received a NIP and was doing my google search and came to this chat.
I was driving at 49 on a 40 limit.
What do you think will happen?
It was at 2 in the morning when I was driving back to home from work.
Can i get away with just a course?

You may be offered a speed awareness course, but it is up to the police force involved. Some don't use speed awareness courses. If you aren't offered a speed awareness course, the most likely outcome is that you will be fined and get some points on your licence.
