Re: Approx how long do NIP’s take to arrive from M1 variable

Where did you get the "+1"? It's 14 days.
I have no relevant experience, but I'd be surprised if it's more
than 3-4 days. There need be little or no human involvement in
the process, so no reason for any delay.

Date of offence is Day 0 when counting for NIP so it’s 14 days
from day following the date of offence.

No, its "within fourteen days of the commission of the offence"
[Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, s 1(1(c))].
Not 14 days from the day following, or indeed the day before.
For an offence on the 1st of the month, the NIP must be served
by the 15th.

Italian speeding fine
DIR By: ayersrcg
Date: October 11, 2025, 10:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I was caught speeding in a hire car in Italy in May 2023, with
an unexpected fine sent through in Feb 2024. I duly paid it (and
have proof of payment from my bank). I thought nothing more and
then a year later started being chased for non- payment (May
2025). I sent proof of payment( bank statement from HSBC)
promptly but got no response. I have just received a letter from
a UK claims recovery organisation claiming I owe £600 in fine
and cost. As a point of principle, I won’t pay the fine again.
If they don’t drop this, escalate costs and we go to court, what
is the likely view of a judge, if I can show a statement with my
payment to the correct account. I have communicated promptly
every time but return communications have been
slow/non-existent.

Are SPECS/VECTOR average speed camera installations separated by
direction?
DIR By: MrLH25
Date: November 3, 2025, 12:01 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
So there is this single carriageway road that is posted at 50mph
and is enforced via Jenoptik VECTOR average speed cameras
mounted on streetlamps. There is this exit that is only usable
in one of the directions and I happened to miss it, I pulled
into the first lay by after the junction (And passing a camera
in said direction at 50) and then got a safe opportunity to
perform a U turn taking me back the opposite direction in which
I passed a different camera which is almost directly opposite
the camera I passed in the first direction albeit this one is
monitoring the other direction. I then pulled over and waited
for a gap to do a second U turn to get back to my exit.
I'm worried if the camera systems are interlinked and may have
wrongly calculated my average speed as way higher than it should
be.
How "idiot proof" are these kind of installations? Like does the
ANPR system controlling the stretch only check for offences
between cameras in the same direction or are all cameras linked
regardless of direction?
Example stretch. Eastbound features cameras A, B and C at the
end, middle and end. Westbound features cameras D, E and F at
similar positions to A, B and C. If a motorist going eastbound
passes cameras A and B, but then decides to pull a U turn and
then pass cameras E and F (All while staying within the speed
limit). Will the system flag an offence between cameras B and E?

No. (Average speeds are only calculated for A to B and B to C
and D to E and E to F)

There's very little chance you'll hear any more about it.
there's no way foreign motoring fines can be enforced here.Don't
worry, be happy.

Was driving to LBA tonight and got caught by suprise that a new
speed camera has been fitted by Apperly bridge. Its that recent
that it has not been on Waze yet, first camera I saw is at the
bottom of the hill opposite the pub, another one was a bit
further on and a final yellow pole with no cameras attached to
it yet. Rumoured to become a SPECS array once completed. Does
anyone know if these half-finished stretches are immediately
live and recording as fixed cameras once one is errected or do
they only become live and recording once the final camera is
installed and commissioned?
