Just realised it went to court yesterday but I missed the deadline to reply - anyone know what happens next ?

 
Depends if it came recorded delivery

If you signed for it you can't claim ignorance and not receiving it in the post

I first agreed to go on a speed awareness course

Then got a £100 demand so I sacked it

Then got court summons

But forgot !!

 
Nearly happened to me think its £250 fine and 6 points, don't quote me on it, managed to get on speed awareness course for day before deadline so luckily never happened to me

 
This happened to my friend. You will more than likely get a ms90 conviction 6 points and a good old fine. Think my mates fine was £700 ish. MS90 are not good and insurance companies penalise you heavily

 
Ring them up and see if you can resolve it. Better that you contact them rather than a knock on the door.....

I've ignored several, sometimes you get away with it, another time popo turned up with a warrant for my arrest.

Good luck!

 
Same thing happened to a mate of mine, the police locked him in a cell with a big black guy known as 'Big Bubba'. He never speaks about what happened after that.

one thing is for sure you will treated worse than someone who constantly breaks into houses or who mugs oaps or someone who steals your van and burns it out so you loose your living.

 
On a serious note Lo, that sucks. We all make mistakes, and its often those of us that work hard that can be absent minded with stuff like this. Makes some phone calls and see what happens.

 
Looks like 'big bubba' will need to find another cell mate ...

Got £320 fine but as I'm a poor little window cleaner am paying over 3 months - ( 60 mph on M1 temp road works )

Which will help as got another fine £100 ( 36 mph in 30 )

I wouldn't mind but me van is slower than a tractor
