If your offence date is before the 1st April 2009 or you hold an International Driving Permit this matter will have to be dealt with by way of a court hearing. You will need to send a photocopy of your driving licence and a covering letter to the Safety Camera Unit. Your file will be prepared for Court and you will receive a summons in due course. If your offence date is after the 1st April 2009, holders of valid foreign driving licences can accept the fixed penalty option as an alternative to a court hearing. If you wish to accept the fixed penalty you must complete and sign the Conditional Offer form and send it to the Fixed Penalty Office within the specified period, together with your payment and driving licence, The GB Driver & Vehicle Licencing Authority (DVLA) will place the penalty points on a driver record.
