Caught by a roadside camera van at 74 in a 50, hands up, my mistake. Looking to understand a likely outcome as while I can see that this is not necessarily a summons, though I am led to believe that this also isn't a 3 pointer and a 100 pound fine, possibly an SJPN but if anyone could help clear it up that would be helpful.

74/50 is too fast for a course but within the threshold for a £100 fixed penalty with 3 points.

Google / AI will probably generate nonsense about a Band B fine with 4-6 points or a ban 7-28 days. If so then ignore.

Thank you agt, that’s very much appreciated. As you correctly point out the various AI platforms appear to be misleading in this respect.

It's a mistake when you get caught and a risk you take when you don't.

I doubt if many actually drive 50% above any speed limit without it being their intention to do so.

It's easily a mistake if you're distracted, e.g. come off the M180 towards Shorpe on a straight bit of dual carriageway with nothing but fields around it for a couple of miles, in your head it's a 70 until you see the 50 limit signs...

If you lack the attention span to the point of distraction, or ability to recognise when you need to slow down , what else could you miss?

I agree, there is no excuse for not seeing a speed limit, especially in a modern car which will no doubt bing and bong to tell you off way before you had a chance to not notice. Choosing to take the risk of being caught is very different.

Don't get me wrong, it's not an excuse, I'm just saying it's easy to imagine a scenario where it's a mistake as opposed to someone seeing the speed limit signs and saying "screw this I'll do what I want"...

I will. I won't be going 50% over the speed limit.

PH is becoming overrun by sad sacks these days, the tagline used to be ‘Speed Matters’ now all folk want to do is have a snipe at someone, it’s pathetic.
