Correct procedures when issues a speeding fine
I was served a NIP which I duly completed admitting that I was the offending driver. No other details were required nor any details of the alleged offence were offered.
Suffice to say that I was driving with excessive speed contrary to Article 2 of the 70, 60 & 50 mph RTA. The next communication I received was a letter from TTC 2000 thanking me for opting to attend a speed awareness Course. I did not opt to do anything, I wasn't offered any "options" and haven't yet been advised of my offence.
I feel a bit annoyed at this as it appears I've been convicted of something that I'm not fully aware of. I've had a couple of conversations with someone at the Central Ticket Office but other than to advise that I was caught by a policeman with a camera (I wasn't aware that there was a camera on the road) I'm none the wiser.
Has a step in the process been missed out?

Administrative cock-up. Yes, step missed out. But rather than make a fuss, if I was you I'd be grateful and simply attend the course because the consequences are far less financially painful than the effect on your insurance premiums of points on your licence.

Regarding insurance and a recent letter, if one attends a speed awareness course is it technically a speeding conviction and therefore to be declared to the insurer?
