I forgot to tap in my Oyster card (yes, very lame excuse, this is true but I guess I have no way of proving this) and got caught and given a £40 penalty fare (now paid).
Will I still get a court summons? I'm freaking out over this and don't want to be given a criminal record over this.
For reference, it was on the DLR from Greenwich to Shadwell, a journey which I'd never made before, and I'm not familiar with stations without barriers. This obviously isn't a valid excuse, and I definitely deserve the fare, but does the fare carry anything else with it, and should I be worried about receiving a court summons anyways?
I might be overreacting, but I seriously don't want something like this to ruin my life
