Hi! Please help!
I drove at 25 mph on a three lane carriageway a few months back, in my mum's car. She received the first notice, and informed them it was me. The police then sent me the notice, but the postcode was wrong so it went to my neighbour, I expect. I think this because one evening I heard the letter box and saw the letter on the mat (opened, so I'm not sure whether all papers were inside). I returned it asap with my details confirming I was driving, but I think it was one or two days over the 28 day limit (not my fault as i didn't receive it on time). I now have a letter telling me I need to go to court.
What can I do? I was ok with just paying the £100 fine or going on a speed awareness course, but I really don't want a hefty fine and 6 points!
Can someone please advise? What might be my options at this point, please?!
