Roadside police with speed gun stepping in the road causing me t
o steer towards oncoming road
By: unknown Date: December 27, 2024, 7:41 am
---------------------------------------------------------
While I was en-route to a hospital appointment with my pregnant
wife, as I turned in a road (20mph road) I noticed some
locomotion with 4 high viz individuals between parked cars on
the left. As I approached (going around 20mph) they moved
towards the road, and I notice one of them with a gun
dangerously stepping in the road to get my license plate I
suspect). Causing me to brake and do an avoidance manoeuvre (the
only point when I looked at my speed and was doing 16mph at the
time).
Whilst I don't think I was over the speed limit until I receive
a NIP, I want to write a complain or do something about the way
they conducted this speed trap. How can I go about it please? I
understand they were so keen to catch people speeding (like
haven't they got better things to do between holidays?!) but
they need to do this in a safe manner! What if I had an oncoming
car on the other side of the road, do I have to make the
decision to run them over or crash the oncoming car?! Very
unprofessional!

as this is not a live case it's in the wrong forum and needs to
be moved to "have I been caught"
it may have been a badly organised community speed check group.
you could contact plod and ask who it was.

The above car park is monitored by ANPR and customers are
required to sign in on a tablet to ensure that they are genuine.
Last evening the driver went to the pub for a meal with a number
of guests and due to the turmoil of Xmas eve forgot to sign in
upon arrival .£140 spent and during the meal remembered had not
entered registration number. Spoke to a member of staff who
stated as long as this was carried prior to leaving car park
this would be ok.
As anyone had experience of this type of issue and outcome. I
will return to the car park to see if it specifies you have to
enter registration number upon arrival

It says above car park but where is this car park exactly?
The manager of the pub should be contacting Euro perhaps and
advising them not to issue I would have thought. That’s how to
control the outcome. Left to a PPC, they are unlikely to
withdraw at a guess even if you produce the receipt but that is
all it should take.

Speeding offence in UK hire car for French resident with French
licence.
By: FrenchFlyer Date: December 29, 2024, 7:54 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Today on the A3 just outside of Guildford I passed a speed
camera van at an indicated speed of circa 85mph (NSL Dual
Carriageway).
I was in a UK-plated rental car.
I am a French citizen, French resident and have a French driving
licence.
I understand (if detected) that I will receive a NIP from Surrey
Police (where I incidentally passed selection to be a special
while at University, almost 20 years ago).
Obviously, I have no issues holding my hands up to the offence
and will reply to the NIP if and when received.
My question is: what will the likely consequences be?
Unless procedures have changed since I lived in the UK: fixed
penalties cannot be issued to people without a UK address, so
the only remedy would either be an awareness course (online) or
referral to Magistrates' court?
Would be interested to hear from anyone with experience of such
a set of circumstances.
Happy new year to all.

What was the speed limit at this point, as I know the A3 around
Guildford has lowered speed limits for a stretch?
It could be quite a while before you hear anything, as the NIP
will go to the Registered Keeper (who may or mat be the hire
company).

Thanks for your reply.
It was on the Ripley bypass, southbound just after leaving the
temporary 50mph limit as you come off the M25, definitely a 70
limit.

If the hire company name you as the driver they may have a job
tracing you if you are a French resident.The hire company may
well charge you for any traffic fines and charges if they have
your card details, it depends on their T&Cs. DVLA will issue a
ghost licence in the UK and point will be added to that. They
can't put points on your French licence. A court could possibly
ban you from driving in the UK or a while. It's quite easy to
confuse mph with km/h on some cars. :) 85 km/h is about 50 mph.
