Hi All

Just wondering the ramifications of getting caught doing 56 in a 40 zone on a smart motorway, I literally got just a job that involves a lot of driving and now Im really worried. Ive already replied to the letter 'Notice of Intended Prosecution' via the online portal saying that it was me that was speeding.

£1000 Penalty and 3 penalty points is expected.

Surely they would need your signature, I am wary that you can nominate yourself online with a Portal, I understand it can be used to nominate someone else but not yourself.

Are you sure about that? Everyone other than the OP knows that you meant £100, but that doesn't help the OP...

Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit.

Do you intend to ignore the offer of a fixed penalty and go to court instead?

Only if for some reason you ignored the fixed penalty offer. went to court and were found guilty.As has been said, you will be offered a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points.

Oops, my apologises for the extra 0.

£100 penalty should be offered along with 3 penalty points.
