If you been caught on camera how long did your fine take to come through the post?

Im sure i got caught last Sat, will be a miricale if i didnt. So just waiting for it to come through the post now. I was doing about 50mph in 30mpg zone. Before you all moan it is a Dual carriage way for fook sake that then goes into a normal road but is in middle of no where! god knows why its 30mph and not national speed limit! But what makes it worse i was in world of my own and was ovetaking a slower car at the time when i notced the van DOH! lol

you have to receive the ticket within 14 days of the offence, if its a speeding camera. You will receive a form asking who was driving, you then have to return that (not sure within what timescale). After that you will receive the from telling you of the offence and the fine/penalty. You can ignore it if you wish, or follow one of a few different avenues, go checkout http://forums.pepipoo.com/ for information on the process and your alternatives.

The 6 months limit is for whether the Police decide to procecute or not.

Im quoting from memory, checkout pepipoo for the full SP

Rob was on the old Road going to Cardiff, take a left by the Garden centre on that dual road by there its a 30mph

Yeah if you dont get the fine in 2 weeks its void. but just wondering if people got it a day or two after the offence or just towards the end of the two week period

If it arrives just throw it in the bin

Seademon

They usually arrive within 2-3 weeks but if you take it to court etc they have to prosecute you within 6 months - if its a day over the judge will throw it out and will refund you with costs etc

It does happen! Happened to 3 of my mates so far when they've been stopped by the police for doing more than 30Mph over the limits - 2 of them didnt hear anything from them at all & 1 went to court but it was 1 day over the 6 months and the judge dismissed it

I wasnt so lucky though!

30mpg, now I know you drive a diesel so a 30mpg must at least be a 70mph area. In which case you should be fine as you were only doing 50mph

Rhys - is the car you were driving registered to you?

If so, it's 14 days.

If not, they have 14 days to contact the registered keeper, after that I think a NIP in your name has to arrive with you no more than 6 months after the offence


Neil.

Rhys

The car is registered in the old dears name, so will soon see if comes through the post! lol

Oranoco

If the cars not registered to you mate they have 6 months to track you down unless your old dear is willing to tell them to fook off after the 14 days. The 14 days is for the NIP to be sent not received.

gurnE

Just blame your mother then

Oranoco

Cars registered to her just deny everything and tell your mum to be more carefull. Speeding is dangerous
