If you cant do the time, don't do the crime.
You have modified your ped beyond the restrictions imposed by your, I presume, provisional, licence entitlement, specifically not only to knowingly ride a machine you don't actually have licence entitlement to ride, but also to exceed the speed limit for that vehicle type, whilst failing to declare the modifications that render your ped, no longer a ped, and a motorcycle, explicitly so that you may evade detection and prosecution for that crime....
Yet STILL got caught!?!?!
I'm not sure what's dafter, to be honest! You will in due course (up to 14 days), receive a NIP or notice of Intended Prosecution through the post, if the camera was actually 'active', and actually took your photo, and they were able to read your registration no.. and care to peruse a prosecution for exceeding the posted speed limit....
NIP should state exactly what they intend to prosecute you for.... if you are lucky bureaucrat inefficiency will mean they simply issue the usual money-with menaces letter asking you to plead guilty of exceeding the posted speed limit, and accept points and fine, and not actually put two and two together, and spot the fact that you were managing to exceed the posted speed limit, on a machine that shouldn't be capable of exceeding the speed limit, and hence actually niether the vehicle declared on your insurance or that you have licence entitlement for, and choose to chuck the book at you.....
In which case you could be pretty screwed, and you could be charged with any number of offences you were actually committing, from riding other than in accordance, to riding without valid insurance; insurance fraud, for obtaining insurance by deception; exceeding the sped limit for the road, as well as exceeding the speed limit for the vehicle type; riding a vehicle other than descried on the registration, and attempting to pervert the course of justice, deliberately, and with foresight, attempting to ride a motorcycle disguised as a moped, for the deliberate purpose of breaking the law, and exceedg speed limits for ehicle type and road.... probably having a bad case of acne, or just being criminally ugly as well as daft, depending on how flattering the Gatso photo happens to turn out... and anything else they can think of.
You have two weeks, of suspenders, to wait for the NIP to be delivered. Not much point worrying about it, now though is there... just ask the dog to shift over a bit on the door-mat when you take up residence to wait the NIP through the front door, and don't steal all its' blanket!
If you are lucky, the dawg may get a bit friendly during the night, and when your mum spots the wet patch on your pajamas, explaining the speeding ticket to your Dad, probably wont seem such a big deal ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Go to court and say "Impossibru! Mopeds can only do 45kph!"
Don't fret. If it's an old style GATSO then it's increasingly likely that there's not even any film in it. Yes, actual film, like they used to record the dinosaurs that roamed the earth when Tef was middle aged.
Even if you do get a NIP and an S172 though the door, the chances of a human making the connection, or having programmed Friend Computer to do so, are minimal.
I wouldn't expect anything worse than a £100 blackmail demand and 3 points, or better yet, a Speed / Driver / Kitten Awareness course.
Which might do you some good, since your major problem is your piss poor observations. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It's highly unlikely that the computers will cross check the class of of bike you're riding against the speed you were going, so you're probably just looking at a speeding conviction. Plead guilty by post, pay up on time and learn the lesson.
Lesson being that you're not a little kiddie any more, a moped is not a toy and what you can and cannot do with/on it is governed by laws which can have serious consequences if you ignore them.
Teflon-Mike wasn't scaremongering with his little list of possible offences, if a Police officer had caught you instead of a camera any combination of those would have been a possibility.
I wouldn't fret too much about points and a fine, they're the least of your worries, you have to declare convictions to insurers for at least five years, and as far as I know they're not obliged to forget the past on your eighteenth birthday. A speeding conviction may well ramp up you premiums by a few hundred quid, 'driving other than in accordance with your licence' and 'driving whilst uninsured' will add thousands, assuming you can find an insurer willing to take the risk. And yes you were in fact committing both of those offences because you were riding a motorcycle not a moped. ____________________ They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa, hey-hey,
the men in white coats are coming to take me away.
