You now need to sit & wait for up to 6 months to see what will happen.

As said above, so long as you entered your details (and sent them) properly, there is nothing more for you to do. The longer it goes on without you hearing, the more you hope your file might be lost in the system but it's best not to consider that a possibility until 6 months have passed.

You’ve completed your legal obligations.

Just sit tight now.

There’s a small chance it will go away.

More likely, at some point in the next six months you’ll either be offered a speed awareness course, or a fixed penalty.

So the worst case is £100 and 3 points. Just the wait now.

Depends on the OPs licence currently.

OP how many points do you currently have? Nine or more and it will be SJP (court).

Less than nine and you are suitable for a FPN (as above).

Or could be offered a course if you haven't done kne in the last three years (and it's not Scotland).

Yes, from the OP's account, they should expect to be offered a course, being currently on 9 or more points will not affect any potential course offer if eligble

It should stay clean, you will likely be eligible for a speed awareness course. Likely, but not guaranteed.

Yes, it can happen like that, but it can take up to 6 months as has been said, so "buckle up buttercup" you could be in for a bit of a wait.

If the OP is in line for a FP / course he should expect to hear in the next month or so, it rarely takes longer than that. But all areas are different

As above, you should be offered a course for that speed (provided the offence was not in Scotland, where they are not offered).

With almost two months gone you would usually have heard by now. Most forces do not offer a course much beyond three months (so as to allow time for the course to be taken before the six month time limit for prosecution is exceeded)..

You can leave it in the (unlikely) event your case has fallen down the back of a filing cabinet. If it was me I would make further enquiries to make sure that either your response to them has not been lost or their offer to you hasn’t.

The former will cause you particular grief because if that has happened you will find yourself on the wrong end of a “Fail to Provide Driver’s Details” charge. This can only be dealt with in court and whilst there is a way to recover the situation to have it reverted to just the speeding matter, it is aggravation I would do my best to avoid.

What's the deadline?

If 6m since the index offence (4 June?) then don't pay.
