I pleaded giulty by letter but it has been ajourned till next year. They say that as I have 7 points they must ban me unless I can show good reason not to. I was caught doing 69 on a dual carrigeway with a temp 40 limit.
I thought it would be a fine only.

Unfortunately you thought wrong. At that speed you are facing more than the usual 3 points and £60; you'll be summonsed for a court appearance for that.

Best get yourself to PePiPoo and ask around in there (follow the FAQ instructions first)

It has already been to court and ajourned till next year. I thought that in temp speed limit zones only a fine would be imposed

Nope, temp speed limits are the same as permanent speed limits and are treated as so.

You always get fine and points if you are caught (by SCP operator or fixed camera) exceeding the speed limit. Police might apply discretion.
