Rest assured that the powerless peon that pulled you will have no say in whether you get to give money to the Chief Constable's brother-in-law who inevitably runs the Speed Awareness Scam. He certainly doesn't have any power to "fine" you, unless the whole court system was abolished while I was typing this.
Produce your license at the Cop Shop, say nothing more than you've already said, and await their response, if any. This is such a trivial bookkeeping 'offence' that you shouldn't give it more than 5 minutes consideration, let alone tell anyone else about it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Speed awareness course = No Points and about £85
Points and fine is just that, £60 from your pocket and a chat with your insurer, you say you have been rideing for 3 years so 3 points probably wont have much if any affect on your premium, and still 9 to go
Personally, I did the course, it scared me....... Just how clueless the other people in the room were, the woman sat next to me thought the national speed limit sign ment no entery  |

What exactly did they give you in terms of paperwork?
Did they read you a PACE caution (You have the right to remain silent etc.) then tell you "We are reporting you for the offence of..." and ask you to comment.
What piece of equipment did they use to measure your speed and did they show it to you?
Did you admit to doing 40mph?
EDIT: 40mph seems a very round number to me. I've been stopped for speeding twice and done for it once. Once I was doing 98.6mph and the other time I was doing 95.4mph. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Tell you what. That jumble of virtually incoherant texting is so difficult to read I'm not going to bother.
You really need to learn to type better on your phone. Autocorrect or no, you're just being lazy. Your phone doesn't abbreviate "you" to u and it doesn't stop you using punctuation.
If you want other people to take their time to give you advice, you should take the time to ask for that advice in a clear and structured manner.
I did do a brief description of the mental image your posting style gives me of you but I decided it was bordering on abusive.#
Happily, it is not just my problem. Carry on posting like that and the karma-bot will take your green blobs away and make you preview and spell-check all your posts. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

OK, that's an offer. You can choose to pay the FPN and accept 3 points on your license, or you can oblige them to prosecute you. It's more of a ball ache and a gamble, but they might screw up the prosecution. If you haven't been offered a Speed Awareness Scam by now then it's not likely to be on the cards, but you can always look for a number on the FPN and call and ask.
In future, decline to look at their (alleged) evidence. That helps them, not you. Your responses should be "Yes, I know what the speed limit is here. Yes, I know what speed that I was doing," and then zip your lip. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
