So a couple of weeks ago I was caught off guard by the same mobile camera van on different days and in different locations, first on the dual carriageway and second in a 30 mph limit. This week the office informed me they had received notification from the police as follows .
First was 74mph on the dual carriageway which is 70mph limit and second was 40mph in a 30mph zone ! Also I was driving a transit van which means I shouldn't of been travelling over 60mph on the dual carriageway. What should I expect the outcome from these to be?

74 in a 70. That's just being ****ing arsey.

But the vehicle I was driving is restricted to 60mph

Then it was 74 in a 60.

That's what I was trying to say but didn't want to be patronising as I'd already stated that in the first post

All vans with exception to car derived vans are subjected to different speed limits to cars as follows. Motorway same as cars 70mph, dual carriageway 60mph not 70mph, single carriageway 50mph not 60mph

So is the general consensus keeping in mind how for over the limit I was still 3points and a £60 fine for each one?

I expect I will carry on driving the same as I always have but be more vigilant in slowing down in the hot spots or if I see a speed camera just like every other road user :-)

So.... I received a letter in the post for each of the speeding offences yesterday with 3 options on each 1. attend speed awareness coarse 2. fixed penalty points and fine 3. Attend a court appearance.
Does this mean I can do the speed awareness coarse twice and no points etc ?
Do I have to do a separate coarse for each and pay twice ?

Hmmmm! I'm thinking its worth a punt at being points free and try arranging 2 speed awareness coarses as they have given me the offer

They have obviously failed to recognise the fact that the limit for the vehicle is 60mph not 70mph lucky hey
