I've just opened a letter from Warwickshire Police saying they have caught me speeding on camera  Now, I don't know if I have to pay a fine or go to Court - the letter is a bit confusing. I was doing 35 in a 30 zone. Anyone know what happens from here? |

I think you pay the fine, and get a discount if you do it soon enough. If you challenge it, you can take it to court. I think that's what happens anyway; I've never been caught ;D (And dammit, I thought you meant you'd been caught on here at work!  I was readying the  smiley before I'd even clicked on the link!) |

You don't get a discount; there's a fixed penalty and if you pay the fine within I think it's 14 days, that's all you and pay and get the points. If you appeal and it goes to court, you could end up having to fork out for court costs and if you lose, you'll probably have to pay a bigger fine too  |

yeah lol but that's your world Ho where peeps seem to get away with a heck of a lot of stuff!  Having read the letter in more detail I have t send them a form back and then they decide if they fine me or if they summon me to court |

3 points on your licence for 5 years (I think) and a £60 fine.......I was done by a mobile unit once for the same offence. |

If you do something wrong you should be punished for it. Which is why I currently have a button I can press to send the counter terrorism lads round to Uncle Ken's house to do him over and send him to Guantanemo Bay. |
