Re: Speeding - alas, not cobra related :-(
It depends really, I'd request the photos and see what they look like. You never know you could have lent your bike to a friend from America, he might have been driving when the bike was caught speeding but he's probably left to go home now so they may have to follow it up over there.

SLOWLY!!!

By the sound of it you've been done before, you should have learnt your lesson. 75 in a 60, thats 25% over the limit, I have no sympathy for you, you deserve to be caught at that speed. Pay the fine and take the points. If you play with fire then you get your hands burnt!

You commit the crime you pay the fine. Just put it down to bad luck

Re: Speeding - alas, not cobra related :-(
I plan to own up, but my question was "how should i proceed?"

and what's the proceedure in this country?
as i'm not from the UK and have never been through the system here
& I also have a EU licence. . . .

That will confuse them no end and it will probably go round and round in circles and they will eventually ask you to pay the fine only.

Not EU licenses, as the systems haven't been integrated, other than France where points are sometimes enforced back in the UK.
