You should get a Notice of Intended Prosecution within 14 days - this asks you to name the person driving at the time of the offence.

It will probably be dealt with by way of fixed penalty - £60 fine and 3 points.

Depending where you live, you may be given the opportunity of attending a course - more money, no points.

Yes. 6 points within two years and you revert to learner status.

Remember that it is the dates of the offence that count.

Wait and see what happens - there may not have been any film in the camera.

I don't have a crystal ball but I do know very often the camera flashes and nothing comes of it.

I suggest you buy a sat nav device that makes an audible noise whenever you exceed the speed limit. It's not infallible but it could help.

You will not have to drive like a slug. If you stick to the speed limit then you will have no problems.

You shouldn't have been doing 40 mph in a 30 zone should you, speed limits are there for a reson.
