So, I have now got 9 points and have just found out that I have just been court on a camera again. I have to send off the form , should I go to court and plead my case or should I hope the justice will be lenient ?

Hi, it took 5 months for a council/constabulary to tell me I had forgotten to send them my license with the form... should I have issues with this ?

So you have been "caught" by a camera, doing what?. Assuming this is an offence that carries 3 points or more and a course isn't offered, your attendance at court will be requested, as courts don't like to disqualify unless the defendant is present.

You can have issues with it, but can do nothing about it. Presumably they offered you a conditional fixed penalty and you failed to comply with the conditions, and the consequence is that it is now going to court, that happens quite a lot.

Council?

I presume this is a speeding or red light offence?

If you did not comply with a conditional offer then the amount you've paid will be refunded and you will receive a court summons. (Well actually a postal plea under Single Justice Procedure)

Depending on the offence you may receive more than 3 points and will almost certainly have to pay court costs, surcharge and an income-related fine.

You cannot accept a fixed penalty offer if you will reach 12 points (within 3 years based upon the dates of the offences).

Instead the matter will be heard at court and you have the option to submit an exceptional hardship plea to reduce the 6 months ban, potentially to none.

The impact on others carries more weight.

Well that's a likely case to plead, but maybe OP has a defence case in mind. Which is why i asked him/her to clarify.

So if we guess that this is linked to your other post and guess you were caught by speeding by a camera and offered a fixed penalty but failed to send off your licence so it is now going to court, and guess that your 9 points were for offence in the last three years, the minimum number of points for speeding is 3 even if the court is lenient, then you will have 12 points and will become a totter.

That will mean you will be disqualified for a minimum of 6 months unless you can convince the court that exceptional hardship will be caused to you or someone else by your disqualification. That is not just the hardship that anyone would suffer, not even losing your job, but more than that. That is more easily established if someone suffers, for instance if you have a partner or family who depend in some way on you driving. If you tell us your circumstances we can advise.

If OP had 9 valid points when caught speeding, and was not offered a SAC, it was always going to court regardless.
