More NIP questions

Is there any implication about receiving a NIP without them indicating what speed I might have been doing?
It seems possible that you sign the NIP (If stupid) only to finf out you have been clocked at (say) 120 MPH.
It is a bit different admitting to a minor speeding offence, three points and a fixed fine, than admitting to a banning offence.

Absolutely. They are required to specify the "nature" of the offence. What that means , of course, is ultimately up to the courts if you decline because they haven't told you the speed, and are subsequently charged under S172.
More importantly, if they don't tell you, you don't know if they are entitled to ask for self-incrimination evidence (S172). Stott -v- Brown, Privy Council, Dec 2002 laid down that penalties had to be 'modest' and no jail.
