Speeding fines - what's the punishment?
The majority of people speeding will be classed as committing a "minor offence" and will still receive a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of a £100 fine and three points on their licence.
However, you can avoid the points and opt for a speed awareness course if it is offered to you.
Whether you're eligible for an awareness course varies depending on which police force is handling your offence.
According to the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme, the body that manages speed awareness courses in the UK (with the exception of Scotland), you will only be offered to take the course if: "you haven’t been convicted of any other speeding offences in the past three years."
