Speeding

Bite their hand off!
I was stopped doing 96mph on the M3 on the 5th January.
I didn't surrender my licence but have since been to the police station and done so.
I was about to pay the £60 when I noticed the FPN says the wrong date.
I have read your page about mistakes and the ticket not being evidence but thought I'd still ask as paying the £60 for a ticket dated over a year ago just seems wrong.

The officer will correct his mistake at court if you challenge the matter and will convince the court that it was simply a mistake - you were lucky to get 3 points and a fixed penalty offer for that speed. Bite their hand off and take the ticket if you agree that you were going too fast - don't take this to court because you will be at much greater risk of fines and points.
