I was caught speeding at 89.25mph on the M6 on the 22/5/05 and received today by post my NIP.
I assume that you mean a summons and not a NIP?

Correct, I received a summons

I assume by this, that you mean that you were stopped at the time?

Correct, I was stopped by a Police Officer

stipulated that this offence should have been dealt with by way of fixed penalty but was not because I had a french licence.
That is correct.

Surely, this is not fair. My Licence has a number and could be easily stored at DVLA. Why should I be discriminated because I have to go to court ?
I believe that the U.K. government are in hot water with the EU over this at the moment.
In particular, because non-resident EU licence holders are often arrested until they can appear in court.
As I understand it, the U.K. government intend to introduce a system whereby non resident EU drivers can pay the policeman who stops them, but that is not in place yet.

If I plead guilty, I will occure £ 35.00 court cost, then posibly a fine above what it should have been £ 60.....
If you plead gulity, you should make that submission to the magistrates prior to sentence.

What do you mean by making a submission ?
I am actually, British Resident as I live in Wigan but I know that I do not have to change my French EU Driving Licence to full UK Driving Licence.
This document is perfectly valid and I am insured accordingly.
What do you think I should do, ask for £ 60.00 fine and no cost ?
What about the 3 points if DVLA cant take it off my EU licence ?
