pay it and stfu i'd say.
not worth causing a fuss, in my experience you just get bumfkt.
ive got 6 points on my licence for offences i didnt do and took to court - still got fined and points, plus costs plus the 15 surcharge.
not worth it.
pay it.
is there a court date??? if there is you could be looking at a bigger fine than the 60 but should still be 3 points.
if you're not sure ask a solicitor,
someone posted up an intereting (old) article on fine and points guidelines and im sure it wont have changed - think the thread was 'interesting read' or summat.
good luck anyway bud.

btw the 6 points i have, 3 were for using a mobile handsfree, on speakerfone - apparently it isnt an acceptable form of hands free operation - that went on for 6mths and i almost lost my licence over it plus over 300 in fines.
after id payed the 60 fixed penalty (under duress) - don't ask, still seething over it.
other 3 points, going thru a red light.
turning right onto a dual carriageway from a b road, i was waiting behing a geriatric in a r type civic when the lights turned to green.
i moved forward and the daft old git slammed on when he saw the red lights on sticks for the main carriageways.
i went round him, taking the inside lane, mustve hit a sensor in the road cos i was pictured going sideways through a red light.
i tried to explain in court that the red light was for the main road, i went through a green from the minor road, but waste of time, still got fines, costs plus the 15.
only saving grace, i threw my licence on the court floor in disgust and as the clerk bent to pick it up he twatted his head right on the corner of the wooden witness box lol (ouch)
i said Now
that's justice!!!! ahahaha
fiddler.
so avoid going to court if you can, unless you have a specialist solicitor.
there is a site (with a stupid name) pepipoo.com or sumat - they can give you advice on whats what.
