Mislaid s172 offer

---------------------------------------------------------
I got caught on a speed camera back in January just outside East
Grinstead, 36 in a 30 driving a bus. My employer quickly passed
the matter over to me with a s172 notice. I filled that in and
sent it back admitting I was driving. The ticket office sent me
the form to pay up which i have mislaid! I don't remember
keeping a copy, but trying to get it paid before the deadline
which is probably this week. I can't find any contact details
for the Sussex police speeding ticket office.
What's my best line of approach? I've looked onine but no hone
number, and the online form needs the reference number which I
don't have.

Thanks for that Andy. In the 53 years I've been bus driving,
it's the first time i've been nicked fr speeding in a bus.
On the A22 going out of East Grinstead the road is uphill, then
dips slightly. With a full load of passengers, with it tipping
down with rain,force 8 gale, the camera is about 100m beyond the
brow of the hill. My time was better spent trying to see where
the road was than looking at the speedometer. It was also close
to midnight and there's some awful pot holes to dodge. 2 buses
on that service blew out tyres on pot holes that day. I drive
about 40,000 miles a year! Not to worry.

Most forces seem to insist on "licence details" (referred to in
the legislation as "identification details") being provided
separately to the penalty being paid. There seems to be a
question mark over the legality of this requirement, but if
you're just after a quiet life, it would seem prudent to ensure
that it is complied with (if you haven't already done so).

Wait and see if the cheque clears, the helpful lady on the phone
said she'd sent a reminder letter out, that I couldn't get an
SAC as the last one was 2 years and 50 weeks ago! I seem to get
nicked every 3 years, always late at night with nothing else
around.
