Coming home on the M4, it was restricted to 50mph for road works (which were not obviously in progress!!).

Average cameras clocked me at 58mph

Junction 27 of the M4

When did it arrive? Waiting for mine. Lol

Yesterday :-(

Nasty bastards them Welsh! And the Jocko's!! We should have killed them all off back in the day! England would be such a lovely place without that lot and their pesky borders

How much are they conning you out of?. Any points?

AFAIK, the minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points added to your licence.

However, providing you haven't previously taken a speed awareness course within the past three years, in a 50 mph limit, a course may be offered between 57 - 64 mph. Prices range from roughly £75 to £100, with £90 being typical.

Thanks David. I hope you’re right - I’m waiting to hear if they offer a speed awareness course. My last fine was 20 years ago, so I was well overdue another!

I've got two in the last three weeks! 36 in a 30 and 59 in a 50 I've been offered a speed awareness course for the 36 in a 30 and I'll take the 3 points and a fine for the 59 in a 50. Shit happens one of the lads at work got caught three times in a row by the same camera and he's only had his license 4 months so he's looking at a ban and re test

You've been spending too much time with Michael

3 points is nothing these days. Insurance companies don't bother with them as they suspect everyone has 3 points on their licence.
Personally with the course costing more or less the same, I would just pay the fine and the 3 points.
