If I had received & accepted a conditional offer for a speeding offence does the speed I was caught at remain in the system for officers/court to view in the future or does it just show SP30 exceeding 60 limit?

Ie if I was lucky & an officer in the past used discretion & gave me a conditional offer for something that could be court territory, would others looking at the offence in the future know it was potentially a bit more serious than a few miles over the limit. (It did say actual speed on the ticket, they didn’t write it out for a lower one)

Do you generally worry about things that are of no consequence?

Has anybody ever told you that you are over thinking things?

I know I’m overthinking things!

I’m fairly sure though that prior convictions are taken into account when sentencing, but I get that FPN’s are different.

Just wasn’t sure if the details were there

Wondering “hypothetically” if I was in reported for a driving offence now if they could see i’d dodged a bullet in the past or if they’d just assume an old SP30 was for something minor.

If you have a speeding ticket, then instead of probation, you'll get locked up for 20 years to life wink

I think they will see you have three/six points on your licence already, and go from there.
I do not think that they will dispute the decision made at the time of the original offence.
Speeding points drop off your licence after a certain number of years anyway (can't remember how many years and can't be arsed to check).
