You may recall I thought I'd been done by a camera van coming back from Scotland....

Got the letter from Police Scotland today  .

The Scots don't do speed awareness courses it seems, so it's 3 points and £100 fine.

Hey ho, that's life - at least I didn't get a disqualification this time

You must have been trying very hard, Robert. I got clocked at an indicated 38 in a 30 last year and heard nothing, and coming back from Whitby two weeks ago I passed a camera van at 80 on the A64 and have heard nowt...yet.
Maybe my speedo is knackered.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

It must be. Snot green Astras cant reach 80.

It accelerates quite rapidly downhill, and there are lots of ups and downs in Yorkshire.

Car registered to you for a while? No change of address? If so it's outside the 14 days...

Hire car, wrote to employer, so I guess new timers start each time they get new info .....

Rental iirc. All bets are off re limits. Registered keeper informed in time besides as the offence took place in Northern France, so northern French law applies. This is probably different to English law...

And no offer of a point free course .....

This 14 day thing is very iffy. It would have to be well over 14 days to escape prosecution.

Dear Mr . . . . .

You are hereby summoned to attend court and give the SNP leader a due seeing-to in the presence of witnesses

If Lord Opti got a letter like that he'd be up the A1 like a scalded cat!!

No, it wouldn't. The 14 day 'thing' is in the primary legislation. It's a cast iron defence backed up by case law.

However, it only applies if you were the registered keeper of the vehicle at the time of the offence, and you hadn't recently changed address/bought the car etc. This was a hire car, so it doesn't apply. The RK will be the hire car company, so providing they got the NIP/S172 within 14 days then that section of the law has been complied with.

There are ways to defeat/frustrate speeding cases in Scotland for English residents - all depends on how keen the 'offender' is. Pepipoo is the place to research this.

Corrected, and . . .

You know what, I just might. Possibly not so bad with the kit off . . . . .and a bag, Oh and a gobstopper
