Get thee straight over to www.pepipoo.com and the fightback forums, and fight any NIP that arrives.

3 points and £60 fine....

The option to fight the prosecution is always there.

Win and you walk away with nothing...

Lose and you run the risk of more points and a heavier fine....although in reality the fine will only be increased between 50-100% plus court costs....at that speed, even if you challenge it and are found guilty; 3 points will probably only what's awarded.

Doh! 42mph on a dual carraigeway!! I'm surprised people can even breathe at those terrifying speeds.

Fighting this is a win-win.
At worse you still get you the points but useful court system experience for very little additional cost, and jam up the tax system a bit.
At best you get cleared and become a national hero.
