You can be done for speeding at 41 mph these days, the old cameras weren't good enough but some of the new vans are capable of catching you speeding even a small amount over. It will be a 3 points and £60 they may offer you the drivers awareness.

There is nothing you can do about it now so try not to worry, it's horrible waiting for a ticket and wondering if it's going to drop on your mat but not life threatening just expendsive.

Doubtful.. seeing as the law states a speedo can overcompensate (But not undercompensate)for 10% of your speed (ie you could see 44 on your speedo but actually be driving bang on 40)

I think you'll be fine... I reguarly go over the speed limit past coppers and I've never had a point on my licence. I don't mean stupidly speeding, I mean like 2-5 mph over. Your speedo is probably off by 10% as well, so you was prob doing 41 mph and the coppers usually give you a 10% leniancy. So you should be alright... Usually they look for serious offenders. If you are unfortunate then you should get a letter through the post and most likely a speed awareness course. The speed awareness course is for minor offenders. I think most people in this thread are exhaterating or trying to scare you, tbh.

Thank you to everyone for your answers... I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

Oh also It's generally within two weeks you will hear, so anything over that I wouldn't worry as much

Let us know

You'll get a fine. Pity, really. If you'd gone very, very fast, you'd be honoured with a place inside the Guinness Book of World Records. Instead, you'll have to find solace in a yellow slip-bag through the letterbox.

probably nothing, you should just stick to the speed limit though...

I thought they only get you if you do 10% + 2mph over them limit?

So she'd need to be doing 46?

That is just a guideline, depending on the local police force, they may or may not follow that guideline. Some police forces will prosecute at 41mph, and they are well within their rights to.

If you do get a fine, it will be within the next 14 days. The fine will be £60 + 3 points on your licence. You may have the option of taking a speed awareness course, again, this is at the discretion of the police, and if you take that option, you will have no fine or points, but you will have to pay for the cost of the course which is normally about £90.

Also, you will have the option to take the matter to court. However, if you do this, the court can make you pay a bigger fine, have more points imposed on your licence and make you pay costs, this is only recommended if you are sure you weren't speeding and can prove it.

If you don't pay the fine within 28 days of the date on the FPN, you will be automatically summonsed to court.

If you were caught you'll most likely get a fine and 3 points on your license, it often takes a few weeks to come through.

Most likely you will be offered the chance to take a fine and 3 points or pay a bit more for a "speed awareness course" where you won't receive any points. Personally would pick the course option if I were you as you would avoid the points.
