Been caught speeding - What should I do?

I have been caught speeding 35mph in a 30mph, I wasn't offered a speed awareness course as I had previously done one 33months ago. As a result I have been issued with £100 fine and three points. What should I do?

Accept your punishment like the fool you are who learned nothing from your previous speed awareness course. Do not challenge it or the fine could go up to £1000 + a victims support payment + six points on your licence.
