    Been given options

    1 Educational course £70 to £100 no points
    2 £100 fine 3 points
    3 Go to court

    20mph 24mph 35mph
    30mph 35mph 50mph
    40mph 46mph 66mph
    50mph 57mph 76mph

    Yes. Short answer! Depending on how bloody minded they are, they can prosecute for any offence no matter how small. The guidance is only guidance.

                Depends if they had a temporary order in place to make the reduced limit enforceable.

                  The second part of the table is for going straight to court rather than court in general. So any speed can go to court but in order to stop the courts getting flooded, they issue fixed penalties which removes most of the lower levels from the courts as people generally either take the speed awareness bribe or take the 3 points. They will go to court if you don't take the offers.
