are all FPNs just 3 points (regardless of speed)?

[charliestar]

may i ask what might be a silly question? (and apologies if it is)

i saw this table on PePiPoo http://www.pepipoo.com/Magistrates_guidelines.htm#...

but does this just apply if you get a summons and go to court? i.e. are all fixed penalty notices 3 points?

thanks!

Endorsable FPNs for speeding are 3 points, if the speed is such that an FPN is insufficent then its dealt with by summons where a court can impose a higher penalty.

There are £200 & 6 points FPNs for no insurance.

Just reported in my localpaper that a lady driver had been banned under the totting upprocess for speeding pass the same speed camera four times in 3 weeks. It is in a 30mph limit and it is reported that her maximum speed on any occasion was leass than 38mph.

Whilst i have some sympathy for her, ignoring the advertised limit 4 times in 3 weeks at the same location isn't very bright.

She needs one of these:

Possibly the road used to be a 40, and has now been reduced to a 30 and all the repeaters removed. So what the woman would have had to realize is the absence of repeaters denoting the new limit - would you notice if you used the same road every day?

True however I would notice the sneaky cameras in that so called 30 limit which keep flashing me everytime I drive down it!!!

4 Times in 3 weeks? Surely when the 1st NiP arrived she'd have taken a hint?

My wife got done twice in 3 days for 39 in a 30 (used to be 40), I wrote and explained that she was unaware of the change and if the NIP had come before the second offence then she would obviously have been aware. They agreed to consider it as one offence instead of two. In fact they actually then forgot to proceed on either and she has heard nothing for eight months!

If true, and no other important facts ommitted, that's a result!
