Not from what I've seen. If they had a 0 tolerance and/or didn't flash - I wouldn't have a license by now. Maybe that would be a good thing?  :)

Give it time. :)
If nothing lands today I'll feel quite confident that it never will. I could be wrong, of course, and I know that they have 14 days, but I've had one before and wifey has had one, both arrived within three days.

An example should be made to deter other reckless risk takers. Three months sharing a cell with big Winston would be appropriate. :)

M1 is notorious for actually having 'film in their cameras'*.  If you don't get a NIP you'll have been very lucky.

Suck it up buttercup.  Bend over and take the points from the rozzers.

Most smart motorways have now activated the cameras and operate a zero tolerance policy  ::)
I very much doubt it. I know they made a big things about the Derbyshire cameras being turned on all the time (they are the most profitable in the country, apparently), yet I've seen cars going through them at least 20MPH over 70 and no flashes. They also can't do 'zero' tolerance as each car differs and the speedo's aren't reliable enough (they are now, but it still exists). Most forces work to 10% +2MPH, some are 10% +1MPH before they would even consider a prosecution.

Just a bit of info... Speedometer reading on modern cars are no longer +/- but only over read.

“Tolerances” are only a guidline from the ACPO and not set in stone - if any force chose to ignore them it is completely down to them. Mrs LD got a NIP for 43 in a 40 - Speed awareness course was offered and accepted.

You first posted about it on March 18th - was that the date of the 'offence'?

If it was 18th, then you aren't safe. March 18th would be day zero. Day 14 would therefore be Mon 2nd April. However, Friday 30th March to Monday 2nd April inclusive are UK bank holidays, so no post. You are probably safe providing it hasn't landed by Thursday 29th, but there is a risk that it'll land on Sat 31st March if you get a Saturday post, so belt and braces approach is to book a long weekend away and not return home until late on Tuesday 3rd April.

True, but they don't take 14 days, I'm safe. Wanna bet?  ;D
