well my personal opinion is this go to pepipoo.com and find out what the likely punishment  is going to be,then if worthwhile ask the scamera/dick turpins for the pictures to see if you can determine who was driving,then you can make your choice as to a, bend over and take some or b,keep quite and cop 6 points for not knowing who the driver was.

and possibly be done for perjury as my neighbour was for saying just that

[sassanach]

they provide you with a website to access in the avon and somerset area so you can see the pics online before you cough!!

[sassanach]

people  get done for perjury when there is clear evidence to contradict your statement ie saying the wife was driving when the pics quite clearly show a geezer!!

Most of the "talivan" cameras now take 3 pictures ... 2 of the speeding event and then a closeup of the drivers area. This is to forestall all those who used to try it on. When I was done 2 years ago the 3rd picture was easily good enough to identify me as the driver.

As previously said ...  NIP will often have the log in details required to view your picture/speeding details on the secure web site.

The Wiltshire one is here ..

It is very a risky strategy when they have got the NIP to you in 2 days, IMHO. Most people don't have that bad a memory and if it's going to court anyway, they will blow holes in such a defence pretty sharpish.

All you can say is to plead guity, do a bit of brown nosing, say how sorry you are and that during the overtake you were not paying sufficient attention to your speed, etc.

[Mr Skrunts]

A lot of cases have been dropped where they could not prove the speed camera was not calibrated properly using certaain camera's.

[Entwood]

if the limit is 60 you would need to be in excess of 80 to go to court as i understand it.

Well I am embarrassed to say that the van clocked me at 95mph.

Just found this ... ok it's a motorway not the road you were on ... but ...  ??

get your butt over to pepipoo.com.

Yeah and end up getting twice the fine....sorry but that site just tries too pick holes in the NIP ect.

Best bet be honest and plead guilty at earliest stage.

One of our Admins also helps out on that site  

Just to clarify, its not me.....

agreed....

A lot of cases have been dropped where they could not prove the speed camera was not calibrated properly using certaain camera's.

and the onus, as I understand things, is on the defendant (i.e. you, as the speeder) to prove that its not been done...

That Wiltshire and Swindon safety camera website is interesting,

"A driver detected travelling at 96 mph on the M4 on 22nd June 2008 was fined £1200 with £50 costs and 5 penalty points.

A driver detected travelling at 98 mph on the M4 on 25th June 2008 was fined £850 with £50 costs and was disqualified for 6 months.

A driver detected travelling at 103 mph on the M4 on 2nd August 2008 was fined £700 with £50 costs and 6 penalty points.

A driver detected travelling at 101 mph on the M4 in 5th August 2008 was fined £1,000 with £50 costs and 6 penalty points."





........but sadly its pointing to a fine in the region of £1000+ and 5 points for our guys case.........

Interesting point is that all the above speeding offences were committed on a motorway........our guy was caught doing 95mph on an A road........

More info on the alleged "uncalibrated" cameras .... methinks I detect an urban myth ...
