the 14 day rule with speeding fines
is it that the fine has to reach you within 14 days, or has to be sent within 14 days?
i went past a camera van something between 60-70 ina 50 limit, on the 16th of feb, havnt heard anything yet. can i breath a sigh of relief yet or shall i wait until the weekend?!

scroll down to NIP and read.
You need to understand the law and your rights and be prepared to fight and stand up to the fookers....
I would post my own experience as regards to the 14 days rule but my posts are mostly ignored so can't be arse.
Some pointers:
Take note of the date on the NIP and the date of the conviction.
If it genuiely arrives after 14 days then you will need balls to fights it....!

This last section should be of particular interest. It means that if the police spent a month just trying to find a record of the car's owner, that month doesn't count as part of the 14 days. Similarly, if your dog tore up your mail with the NIP in it, that too is no cause to bar the conviction.

Temporary speed limits.
You should note that exceeding a temporary speed limit is a non-endorsable offence. This means that you can only get a fine, but not have any endorsements (points) applied to your license. Of course, like most things in law, there is an exception, and in this case it's national speed limits (ie. motorways and dual carriageways). If you exceed a temporary limit on a motorway, such as in roadworks, or the controlled-speed section of the M25, then it becomes an endorsable offence, ie. points. This information is in some dispute at the moment, but came from a traffic officer undergoing basic traffic training so I have no reason to believe that it's false.
Interesting

If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle and haven't received the NIP by now you're in the clear - so long as you have the balls (if necessary) to tell them it's been served too late.
If the vehicle is registered to someone else, so long as the feds issue the NIP to that person within the 14 days they can take as long as they like to get a new one to you, up until the offence times out at 6 months old.
If the RK does get one, and don't return it giving your details for the full 28 days they are allowed, that helps you get towards a time-out.
