Weekly income re speeding fine - OceanMan

So I was caught speeding, 72 in a 60 zone. How will my weekly income be determined? I've been unemployed claiming universal credit for a while, working temporary jobs in between. Not long after I received notice of the fine I completed a paid medical trial and was paid £3000 for roughly one months "work". Will that be taken into account, will I have to work out all I've been paid over a certain period and provide an average figure?

You'll probably be offered a speed awareness course if this is a first offence, or a fixed penalty fine and three points - either way, it's £100.

Earnings related fines only occur if it goes to court
