Pleading guilty. Go to court or not?

[TUSC-AL]

Was caught by the SPECS camera on Tower Bridge doing 37 in a 20.....thought it was 30....anyway...no excuse. Have a magistrates summons, with option to plead guilty and submit a statement, plead guilty and go to court or plead not guilty.
Would I lose out by not going to court, and just submitting a remorseful statement? Also what's the likely points and fine?
Thanks in advance.

ACPO Guidlines on speed prosecution consider that 35 and above in a 20 area is very naughty and hence the Court to deal as opposed to Conditional Offer.

Generally in these circumstances the Mags may consider a short ban. I would have thought (and could be wrong) that turning up at Court full of contrition and verbal mitigation would carry more weight that a non appearance and a letter.

Almost certain it will be more than 60 notes and 3 points.

The decision is yours.......

Do you have a local paper. Such things tend to get reported. May give you some indication.

I thought 20's were pretty much unenforcable?

Go to court and pleed your case, everybody should do it, floods the system so they cannot cope! Skankers!

Actually that whole area around tower bridge is avery high risk, first is the 40 zone with gatsos, then 40yrds later a 30 zone with gatsos then the 20 zone with specs and your never really sure when you have left the specs zone unless you look skywards of course!

I have drivers everyday trying to overtake as i do 20 in the specs zone- those cameras must make a lot of money!
