Notice of intended prosecution

[Benw]

I have been caught speeding and have received a Notice of Intended Prosecution. Do I have to tell my AFCO about this, does it really matter?

I only ask because they said to inform them if I have any problems with the law. I start basic in about a month so can't really afford to go to court etc.

Does anyone know how to get out of this?

Thanks,
Ben

I don't think you have to go to court, it's usually 3 points and £60, which is done by mail.
I suppose it won't harm to tell the AFCO, at least it would be off your mind.
Slow down, you'll get there, eventually.

I got caught speeding when I was applying for the RLC as a driver.
I couldn't afford to have points on my licence so I went to court. I only got off because there was no film in the camera. I wouldn't advise you to go to court and fight, it took me around 7 months it would be a lot easier just to pay the fine and accept the points.

Just pay up alot easier, if you don't want to get the points you can ask them about a driving ceminar in hull which has a £60 pound entrance fee and is 2 hours long.

I'll just pay the fine. I am normally very careful but I happened to be driving back from my briefing on what to expect in Foundation - my head was in the clouds.

Thanks for your feedback.

One, it depends just how much over the limit you where going.
Two, most people get caught some time or other, so if the figure is not some thing daft just let them know.

They will want to know, but just a speeding fine won't be a problem.
