What am I looking at??
Discussion
Um
A computer screen and a Keyboard?
Seriously, you *may* not get asked to go to court and just get a 3 pointer and is it £60 now. If not and it is a court appearance, depending on the beak on the day and their mood anything from 3 - 6 points and a bigger fine. I am no expert but I am sure there are a few waiting to answer.
Good luck
Steve.

a while back (about 4 years ago) and got 3points and 60. 
52 in a 30 = more than 20 mph over posted limit...rings a bell with me, sadly.
don't want to be the bearer of bad news but I got done last year on an innocent stretch of road through a forest, no schools, houses, shops and it was 11pm !!!! got done for 51 in a 30mph.
6 pts and 400 fine
needless to say I watch my speed like a hawk now...lesson learnt. Oh, I pleaded guilty by post, and had to fill in one of those earnings related forms..where they base fine on earnings so your fine could be more or less.
probably not the happy news you were hoping for....still, fingers crossed you might get off with less if your lucky.

DVD, I may be wrong and may have mentioned this before, but there is definately something about the courts not being able to fine you more than the conditional offer, even though they threaten to. A colleauge of mine did this, and the beak was surprised that he knew about it.
Something aout section 6 human rites act something.............blah blah blah.
I will investigate and find out exactly what happened.

I think you highlight a myth.
Road Traffic Offenders Act, which deals with the Fixed penalty system and outlines punishments at Courts for offences, it treats speeding Conditional Offer with 60/3points and in the punishments section with 1000/3 - 6 points at Court. So we have two set punishments, different, for the same offence.
IIRC then because the punishments are set by law then Human Rights can not be invoked.
