I was caught speeding by a mobile camera back in March. I was duly issued with a NIP which was sent back promptly, admitting the offence. I have today just received the court summons.

Why does it take so long to process? Every day I get home from work expecting to see the letter on the door mat but it never arrives. It's worse than Chinese water torture.

Court summons for a NIP? How fast over the limit where you going? I sent mine back today, I am expecting 3 points and a fine not a summons

Ok, not exactly a summonds but a court date, but I can just plead guilty by post if I want. 24 over the limit.

I think you can (not my field, so not 100% certain) but in my view you would be ill-advised to do so unless it's a long way from home and will be a major hassle to get there. You haven't been offered a fixed penalty notice so the court could very well hit you with a fine considerably more than
