Re: Have I been caught?

Morning all. Are M25 cameras operated by the relevant safety
camera partnership for that county or centralised does anyone
know?
I was flashed Monday 9th June but yet to receive anything
through. I want to check nothing has been sent and lost rather
then get a nasty surprise in 6 months and then have to convince
someone that I never received the form and please can they
sentence me to £100 & 3 points as opposed to 3 or 4 times that
amount.
I'm not 100% sure what the capture speed would have been,
probably around 82ish so no danger of it being more than the
usual offers of disposal should it come to it. Whether I decide
to do a SAC or the 3 points on an otherwise clean licence I
haven't thought about yet.
Camera was a Hadecs 3 as far as I can tell. It was definitely
mounted at the side of the road as opposed to gantry.

Do you own the vehicle or is it leased? Is your V5 up to date
and correct in tn every particular with the address?
Search Google on M25 cameras who issues FPNs? as the seacrh term
and
Google AI produces this (which may or may not be accurate)

a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) is typically sent to the

is eligible, they may be offered the option of attending a speed
awareness course instead of receiving points on their license
and a fine.

including static speed cameras, average speed cameras, and
cameras for detecting other offenses like driving through a red
'X' on smart motorways.

Presumably it is possible to telephone the appropriate force and
enquire whether anything is outstanding against yr reg.mark?

Thanks for your reply John, however...

In fairness I did ask if anyone knew, not if anyone knew how to
use Google. But as the suggestion is it would be the specific
force for that area I'll phone Herts SCP in Stevenage and ask.
Cheers,
Bert.

For the sake of completeness, I contacted Herts who do look

As Herts have confirmed they look after that section then print
off/screenshot their message and keep safe just in case.

So I was parked in double yellows very briefly. (My bad)however
when I came out the shop the traffic warden was just walking up
to the front of my car and got his camera out started taking
pictures as I’m driving off can I still receive A PCN without a
ticket physically being issued and put on the car?

"Just some preliminery advice
Late one evening recently, I drove through a temporary 50MPH
speed limit on the M25 in surrey. I was doing 56MPH according
to my digital display speedometer. I had cruise control on for
56MPH as I didn't want to annoy lorries who like to go at this
speed or faster. A camera on the gantry flashed twice as I
passed. I know it must have been at my car as my car was the
only one going through at that time. Am I likely to hear
anything? I have heard that just because a camera flashes, it
doesn't necessarily mean that a photo is taken and also even if
a photo is taken, if speed is deemed within a possible
grace/tolerance margin, once again it might not follow that the
driver will be necessarily pursued? Just interested to what
others think at this stage."
It's good to be able to report that it's now been 2-weeks + 4
working days since this incident and I have not heard - the post
has been for today.

Usual point of enforcement would be 57mph and above. At a
displayed 56 it is likely you were doing slightly under that due
to over reads.
Do they sometimes flash with no further action taken. Yes, as
per my post a few above yours. In my case I contacted Herts CTO
after 2 weeks and asked them direct via the webchat. They came
back to say nothing on record.
That was mainly because I was convinced I was at a speed above
the point of enforcement and wanted to make sure nothing had got
lost in the post, but obviously wanted to wait until 14 days had
lapsed before I poked them.

I'm the registered keeper. Will a parking ticket be sent to me?

We can't possibly know.
If one is indeed sent, it should certainly be to you (though
there is no limit to the incompetence of the parking companies).
Are your details on the V5C correct?
