I was snapped a few years ago and dreaded that letter coming through. Thankfully it never came so fingers crossed the same will happen for you!  :y

Maybe the camera van uses Sony hardware and Microsoft, one can hope!  :P

I thought I got dinged late last year, but never got the letter.  Best of luck!

The magic figure is 10% of limit plus 3 which equals 58mph before prosecution.
Speedos tend to show higher speeds than actual above 40mph - how close to 60 were you?
14 days to go until you know......  good luck!!  :P

Not always true.....esp with camera vans....its usually just 10%

Hopefully tho there were doing something else at the time and not watching  :-/

Surely cheaper and easier in long term to just download all the camera positions and red light camera POIs for a TomTom. At least it does more than just beep at you every 2 hundred yards (which seems like the average distance between cameras these days! [smiley=smiley.gif])

Wasn't there a story (probably urban myth) about some lads who got clobbered by a camera van, went back and stole the number plates from the van, attached them to their own car and sped past the van 17 times so the van would ticket itself. [smiley=laugh.gif]

I use TomTom POIs, updated before I set out. No warning.

As to how fast, I came over brow of hill, saw him, hit the anchors, by time I looked at speedo it was 55 ish, so I'm guessing 60mph.

At end of day, I knew what the limit was, and knew I was breaking it, so fair cop  :(

So what can I expect - points and fine? How much?

3 points and 60 quid.....
