In august 2015 I got a fixed penalty notice from the Scottish police for what I thought was doing 60 in a 50 mph zone.
I admitted I was the driver ,paid fine and got 3 points.
Today an insurance query took me to a government site to check the date and fixed penalty code..
It turns out that the code is for an SP10... light goods vehicle exceeding the speed limit...
As the vehicle is a Ford transit and registered as a motor caravan I'm assuming that I was still within the law to be doing 60 on a single carriageway
My fault I know for not studying the notice when I got it,but if the above assumptions are right and the notice was issued because I was thought to be a goods vehicle ,then the police didn't check the vehicle details before sending the notice...
Has anyone ever been able to overturn their penalty points after accepting them??
