Following the decision that some speeding summonses relating to certain sections of the M1 and N4 were struck off due to the local authorities not posting the changes in limits through official channels, see:

How does this relate to fines and penalty points that have been issued and the individual accepted the fine?
For example, as described in the article, the M1 drops from 120 to 80 after the Airport roundabout. Sometimes on a Sunday, on the hard shoulder after the slip road at the Airport onto the M1 or further along near the Coolock exit, there is a Garda van. I was recorded doing 88 in the 80 zone (similar to 55 in a 50). While slightly miffed that if a garda was driving along side me, it's unlikely that I would have been stopped, there's still no argument: I was over the 80 so I accepted the fixed penalty. Yeah I know, big of me.
However, does this current situation (which I don't think is finalised) mean that it is just the summonses currently before the courts that are affected, or does it relate to all notices since the limits changed: challenged or accepted?
It's only 2 points and though I resent the blemish on my clean record of the last 15 years, I'm not too fussed. Still if where there's a technicality. I'm always keen to exploit.
