43 in a 30 - Court summons , predicted penalty ?

[Stoatman]

Hey all,

A good friend of mine has just received a court summons in the post because of allegedly getting caught going 43 in a 30. Bit naughty but she is very upset and needs her car for a long commute to work etc. I guess the fact that she needs to go to court is worse than just getting a 60 quid fine and 3 points or a speed course.

Any ideas what the punishment would be. She has a clean driving license if that makes a difference.

Caught by a speed camera and just had the letter . I guess if your stopped its up to the police chap at the time ?

[Stoatman]

Not sure to be honest. difficult to excise the exact info. I have never had a letter so not sure what you need to do next. I thought you sent it back proving you are the driver but not sure

[Stoatman]

Updated info , yes its just an NIP . I guess this is signed to say "yes its me in the car" and then they send you a fine back. All standard stuff is it ?

[Stoatman]

No not me (honestly not me !) One of the mrs' best friends . I had a garbled message to try and find out the expected punishment and courts were mentioned before I could get the exact info. THanks for the insight so far
