Missus got speed camera nip through with a section that allows yo to tick speed awareness course (if suitable) fixed penalty or court.

 

 

My concern is it doesn't state the penalty or points you will get, is that legal?

 

 

It also has warning that if you fail to reply to the s172 notice the penalty WILL be higher than the speeding fine,

 

 

I thought both were max £1000 and 6 points?

AIUI the s172 notice is to ascertain who the driver is, once that is returned the FPN is then issued to the driver named on the s172 with the choice of speed awareness coursen(if suitable) or a fixed penalty fine + points or plead not guilty and court.

 

Presumably that letter will give details of the fine and points

Maximum fine on normal roads is £1000 & (up to) 6 points. On motorways, the maximum fine rises to £2,500 (points remain at up to 6). But you're correct in that the fine & points for failing to give the required information is £1000 & 6.

No the form makes you choose how you want to be dealt with or name someone else as the culprit. It implies that your choice is final but gives no VPN details only cost of course if chosen'
