Hi All,

I was done doing 30 in a 20 area. I received a fixed penalty which I paid online, but I missed that I had to send in my license.
They refunded my fine straight into my bank with no explanation and I have now received a SJPN.
I haven't had anything like this before and I am unsure what I should do. Should I plead guilty and attend the court or should I plead guilty and not attend?
Is there a difference in outcomes? What happens?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can't attend a Single Justice process - it's a postal procedure only. You can opt for a hearing should you wish.

Fortunately, that excess is still 3 points at court but you may be liable for an earnings related fine. For a guilty plea this would be 33% of weekly relevant earnings. Costs of £85 and a surcharge of 10% of the fine (min £30).

The court does have the power to sentence at a fixed penalty equivalent sentence but 'forgetting' to send the licence in may not see sympathy. You can ask them to consider such a sentence and grovel a bit.
