The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three points on your driving licence
Drivers who are caught speeding in the UK will have to pay a minimum of £100, though fines increase to up to £2,500.But how you are dealt with after you are speed depends on how you are caught speeding.You must return the notice within 28 days, telling police who was driving the car at the time of the offence.
If you plead not guilty then you will have to go to court and could face a more severe fine if you are found guilty. Go Safe Casualty Reduction Officer, Gareth Thomas said:"Legally, we don't have to be visible. I could camouflage myself if I wanted to - but it's all about being fair,and preventing an accident. Even if I parked my van and went for a walk somewhere, it would deter people from speeding right away."If drivers choose to flash to warn others about a speed van, they could be in breach of the law.
But Gareth explained in some circumstances, police can offer the option of attending a speed awareness course - an alternative to a fine and penalty points. Gareth, said:"An accredited course is far more likely to improve driver behaviour and consequently make our roads safer.
