78 in a 50 - what to expect?

[Dawg]

Driving home just after midnight along the dual carriageway section of the A34, my mind was completely elsewhere. I have a 5 week old daughter and am self employed - I need my car for work. I understand 78 is in the bracket which could mean a ban? Bloody bloody stupid I know..

Just received the paperwork through the post to declare that I was indeed the driver. I already have 3 points from 3 1/2 years ago and just over 2 years ago I did 36 in a 30 zone and did a speed awareness course...

So what do I do? What do I expect? Is it worth getting representation? Where do I go for that?


Thanks in advance.

It says that they intend to 'take proceedings against the driver for the alleged offence of 'excess speed' 78mph..

Further down it mentions failure to return the form will prevent the option of a fixed penalty, but I guess that's on every form they send out?
