3 points, £60 fine or whatever it is these days. May offer you a speed awareness course to reduce the punishment if you are lucky.

First 3 points shouldn't affect your insurance but try not to get anymore. Was it a Gatso or mobile unit, may be worth getting a Road Angel or similar. Normally warn you of frequently used mobile sites as well as fixed scameras. Personally I've got the pocketgps.co.uk speed cam database loaded into TomTom navigator, it has proved invaluable when driving in unfamilar areas. I mean flippin scamera van on a quiet dual carridgeway section of the A40, hidden around a long sweeping bend, would have got me if I hadn't be pre-warned

How come the Road Angel don`t warn you when going towards fixed gatso, think blackspot also says you can`t be done as well.

Think I got done today by a mobile site....totally empty road --no pedestrians.

My speedo was showing 34/35mph. Shouldn't speed in a 30mph zone I know

Keeping fingers crossed.

U wont get done, all speedos read 5-6mph above the actual speed, so u were probably doing 29-30mph.

34 in a 30 is hardly speeding. I dont think anyone sticks to 30 round this neck of se london, if they did itd be queues everywhere obviously except when theres a school or kids about or something.
