Fixed Penalty = 3 points & £100 fine.

You may well be invited to attend a Speed Awareness Course - no points, just a £90-£100 course fee and a few hours of your time.

I guess the only frustration with this is that I was caught in Birmingham and I live in Reading. (I am correct in assuming that you have to go to the prosecuting Police force course?)

That's not the case any more (although it used to be, IIRC). TTC run a lot of the courses, and they operate nationwide. See their FAQ here. http://www.ttc-uk.com/2000-Speed-Awareness-Course-...

If the force in the area you were caught in is signed up to the national scheme, you can do the court in any other force area which is also in the national scheme. IIRC the ony forces not in the national scheme these days are Dorset, Wiltshire and Scotland, so you should be able to do a course in Reading (or at least somewhere in Thames Valley).
