Single Justice Procedure Notice
Discussion
Morning all. I was caught speeding by the police car doing 45/46 in a 30-mile zone. I have been a very careful driver from the past 20 plus year and always followed the rules. I think this time it was fault and I got caught. The police officer didn't give me any ticket on the spot or any reference number. He only took my details, and it has been over a month now and I still haven't received any fine. I spoke to met police yesterday and been told since my speed was overly high, I don't fall in the category of fixed penalty notice fine and points or a speed awareness course, hence they have decided to issue me with a SJPN which can take 6 months from the date of alleged offence.
I have full UK driving licence without any points.
I would like to ask members to please share any information that once I receive the SJPN what the likely outcome can be?
Will I be given 4 to 6 points and a heavy fine or magistrate can decide to give me 3 penalty points and minimal fine or he can offer me a speed awareness course too based on my previous driving history because my licence has always been clean. ( Or I can request the magistrate to offer me the speed awareness course).
On the other hand, the magistrate can impose strict penalty on my licence too??
Any information will be much appreciated.
Many thanks' members.

Band B
"Band B - you will be put in this band if you were between 11 and 20mph over the legal limit. You may need to appear in court where you would be fined between 75% and 125% of your weekly income.

No it’s not, it’s a fixed penalty unless you choose court which is what you have looked at, google is not always your friend "Band B - you will be put in this band if you were between 11 and 20mph over the legal limit.

Very unhelpful posting misleading stuff like this."Band B - you will be put in this band if you were between 11 and 20mph over the legal limit.

I had exactly this a year or so ago. Pulled over by the police at 46 or 47, I forget which, in a 30. I did get some paperwork from the copper and he made a point of saying that just 1 mph more and I would have been up the steps.
The brown envelope from the police asking me for £100 (too fast for a course offer) arrived a week or so later. Lincolnshire police.

Speculation. Let's wait and see.ETA the Internet says "the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence'

I don't think so. Speculating is basically guessing. Reporting what's been told by the relevant authority doesn't count as speculating to me.

I deal with prosecuting authorities on a daily basis. I’m often told X will happen and, in due course, Y happens. A phone call to an admin person should be taken as an indication only. ETA the Internet says "the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence'
