So I may be inline for a fixed penalty, or hopefully the camera wasn't working or was was within the limit for the camera.

So for 1 minor messup in 24 years I face a possibly 3 points which is unfair IMHO, those who constantly speed should be targeted, not those who slip up once.
I can see your point. However a court would probably say that if you weren't concentrating due to strell, then you were unfit to drive.

On a brighter note, you are unlikely to get a ticket for 45mph in a 40 limit.
