Have not had cause to use your call out service- yet, But as a retired person -- of an older age - I am reassured that you will be available - if I ever need you. Hundreds of thousands of UK motorists are given speeding tickets every year, but punishments can vary according to the severity of the offence and the discretion of the attending police officer - or the magistrate if it goes to court.
This is the minimum penalty if one is given to you. An FPN will be issued within 14 days of being caught by an officer or a speed camera. Once issued the recipient has 28 days to state who was driving the speeding vehicle. A court appearance is possible if no reply is received within 28 days.
You may be able to avoid speeding fines if you agree to undertake a speed awareness course. However, your eligibility for such a course may be affected if you have been found guilty of a speeding offence within the last three years. Course availability may also depend on which police force is dealing with your offence. In very severe cases, you may need to attend court, and you may be given more penalty points or lose your licence altogether.
Im learner driver and i drive wife car and she was with me in that car. I want to know if i can go for Speed Awarness Course? I dont want on me provisional licence get 3 penalty points. Provisional licence holders can attend a speed awareness course, provided they are invited. Hi I was doing 96mph on m25 got the notice of intended prosecution letter morning Just wondering what is fine going to be Can you please help me.
You can get a rough idea of how much you might get fined by using this speeding fine calculator tool. My name is Luminita, I just got a notice speed was 30 and drive with 40 but what I can to do was my partner and he have a prolicence and he was driving with another driver in the car.
I saw already that you can see him face on that picture. They might be offered a place on a speed awareness course, however, which means they might be able to avoid penalty points on their provisional licence. I braked to 30 straight away and in plenty of time to pass the mobile speed van but I presume a letter will come in the post. How frustrating! Given that you have committed no previous speeding offences, and that the speed was within the usual discretionary limits, you might very well be offered a place on a speed awareness course.
What is the point of speed limits if there is no attempt to enforce before it is a serious offence. I believe, as it is down to police to enforce it, that it is trivialised by police forces to decrease their workload. What about the pedestrians and resident listening to their noise and breathing their fumes? I was in the most left lane coming up to cars joining the dual carriage way, and a lorry was on my right going slower than myself. I went to the further lane to overtake and give drivers an opportunity to join from the slip road without having to brake suddenly.
Is it possible the cameras were triggered by me overtaking the lorry rather than actually speeding as I crossed two lanes? It was captured as 46mph in a 40mph zone and labelled as an average speed camera which is even more confusing as I had only just joined so was the first camera I passed. It sounds like the speed cameras were likely triggered because you increased your speed when overtaking the lorry.
Sorry to hear about your speeding fine. Seems harsh to be hit with a fine for only 2mph above the limit! Unfortunately, the tolerance thresholds vary by area, with some police forces not confirming what their threshold is and others not using one at all.
I have a NIP for doing 35 mph in the 30mph zone. I drove to the T-junction,to turn right onto main road. So i sped up to safely complete the turn. By this time white van man was on my bumper,this was the moment i saw the speed camera.
The distance i had covered was yards,when i was seen. After passing him my speed was 30mph. So why did i get a NIP,trying to avoid a collision. You can always appeal the decision. It might be best to see what the fine will be before deciding how to proceed. Hi i was doing 24mph in a 20mph in london And i asked to go to court being that i am a delivery driver working through the pandemic delivering to some hospitals i done the awareness course before i got the summons so i couldnt do that again within 3 years i already have 6 points now im going to court on tuesday any ideas what the outcome could be?
Many thanks. Chris reynolds. Only certain emergency services drivers are allowed to drive above the speeding limit. As far as I know, these are police, ambulance and fire engine drivers only, but there is talk to allow more emergency service workers e. Hello, I have received a NIP for doing 35 in a It was a mobile camera and having seen the images it is literally a few metres after changing from a It was the first time I had ever been on this trip but made the trip again today to check.
Due to a bendy road, there was no way to see the 30 sign in advance. Can i appeal this. Also to note, on my way back I anchored my brakes on at each change down in speed limits. It really wasnt a safe way to drive and I had lots of abuse from other drivers. Bear in mind that only some forces accept informal appeals, so be sure to check that. Sorry to hear this. Hopefully she gets another examiner for her next test or catches the same examiner in a better mood! What is likely to happen here.
If I return the 2 notices together with my details, will they let me do speed awareness course for both? Or will they be treated separately? Or will it be speed awareness for 1 and fine and 3 points for another? Or will they just fine me for both and give me 6 points which seems very harsh for driving 5mph over a speed limit. You might be offered a speed awareness course for one, but not both. I was in a strange area looking for dealers address to sell car..
I was doing 50mph in a 50mph zone , and then entered a 30mph zone. And slowed down, however they was a mobile speed camera overlooking the signs and as I passed the 30mph sign I must of been doing 42mph tops and then about 15 meters passed the 30mph sign I was doing 30mph.
