Speeding Court Date.

    Hi there,

    I got caught speeding over 5 months ago. Fair cop, I was overtaking 2 lorries on a stretch of good road having been stuck behind them for about 15 miles of twists and turns. I got clocked at 121 in a 100 zone. I never got a ticket in the post and got a summons yesterday for a court date in July, midweek, about a hundred miles from where I work. I am self employed. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any help/advice.

    What is the penalty for this?
    What happens if I don't show up?
    Is there any way out of going to court?
    If I go to court is there any way I can beat this?
    Will they believe I never got a penalty point notice?
    Will it matter anyway?

    So bloody annoyed. If I had gotten a ticket I would have paid it, no qualms. Now I have to take a day off and waste it.

    Thanks!
    Gumby.

    You should get a solicitor.
