Can I get penalty points while driving in the North?

    I have an Irish license and was driving in the North earlier today. I was driving in a 50 mile zone at about 55mph when I got flashed by a speed camera van. I'm wondering should I be expecting a fine and penalty points in the post or what's the story? Thanks.

    I think it's just a fine.

    They give you 10% +2 so anything up to 57 would be ok, 58 and you're goosed.

    Was there a sign which stated the limit as 50mph? I ask as that is not one of the standard UK speed limits and can only apply in specific places when signposted. Std speed limits are 30-60-70 based on road; any other limit needs a sign at beginning and end.

    Yeah there are signs at either side of about a kilometre long stretch of road stating the 50mph speed limit. Travel this road regularly so should have known better but I generally see more speed camera vans in the south than north. How much us the fine does anyone know?

    Did the camera flash once or twice? If it's once, then don't worry about it. Twice - I'm afraid it's a nick...
