Speeding fine - How do I pay
in [UK Drivers]

From: Another Dave on 17 Apr 2010 11:53 Been done for speeding. Been sent a letter offering three options: 1. Attend a course costing �65 - �125 2. Pay a fixed penalty of �60 and 3 points 3. Attend court. I want Option 2. but there's no way of asking for it in the letter apart from waiting 14 days for Option 1. to expire. Do I just wait for 14 days? Another Dave

It sounds like you need it.

Everything is clear enough, so that might explain why you couldn't match what was on your speedometer to the road signs showing the speed limit. I'm not sure a course would be of much use to a driver like you, maybe you need a further driving test and eyesight test.

Pay a fixed penalty of �60 and 3 points Is there a potential difference in the effect on your insurance with 1 and 2? (I know that most insurance companies will disregard the first speeding conviction, so what will be the effect of a second one with either option?) tim
