Theres no escape, I wasn't aware I was speeding but clearly I was so Ill take my punishment like a man but a hefty percentage fine of pay this time of year will be a real kick in the gonads
From what I understand, the guideline (not the law) is to give you 10% + 2 mph leeway, which in your case makes the limit 68, so 3 mph over which puts you in band A

I reckon you'll be offered the course, worst case 3 points and a £100 fine (either option gives your insurance company carte blanche to screw you over on renewal time I believe)

I'm 99% certain that the percentge of your salary thing, is only for serious offences and repeat offenders that end up in court
