I’m not going to risk court if I got an offer because I agree
that it’s too much of a risk to take in terms of a fine. I
certainly cannot afford a massive fine like that.
However, I was at the side of the road, hand brake on. I wasn’t
even wearing my seat belt as I took it off. I was indicating for
safety (although it appears that isn’t in the Highway Code) but
the engine was on.
I don’t see how that can be considered driving. But I’m not
risking it equally.

If the police were to consider it driving, then presumably they
could also charge you for the seat belt offence.

If it does come to anything post back. When you are asked to
identify the driver you can probably contact the relevant
officer. A certain degree of bemusement may help, depending upon
what is alleged.

Have you even recived anything from anyone yet?
if I was in my car stopped at the side of the road and some
random bloke started taking photos I would have done one of 2
things,
1. waved at him and posed with a smile.
2. got out and asked WTF he thought he was doing.
(probably option 2)

I haven’t heard anything yet but granted I don’t know if there
is a time limit on how long they would take to contact me if
they did decide to take action. And that’s assuming the person
who took the photo submitted it right away. I assume he could
send it off at any point even next year?

Does the 14 day NIP limit apply? Unless the cops know the
driver's face I'd assume the photo won't be enough and they'd
need to issue a s172?

Please ease my mind: Potentially caught speeding
By: ns2002 Date: July 25, 2024, 1:15 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I've just driven home, on this there was a resurfaced road
(approx 3 weeks ago) that has red circle 20mph signs on it, with
the original signs barely spray painted over. this road usually
goes 60->40->30, there was a speed camera van at the point it
goes into a 30mph, but due to the resurfacing, the entire road
was 20mph. i believe i was doing anywhere in the region of 27mph
to 34mph, i was going the same speed as the car behind and the
car infront and was just maintaining my gap.
the van had its back end facing away from me, usually the back
hatch is the only one open but both were open today, i could not
see a camera in the front hatch, the one that would have caught
me, but i could see one in the back hatch.
i currently have 6 points and a 1 month ban on record, from 2022
and 2021 respectively, i've since 'grown up'.. ive never taken a
sac, not that id see that mattering
what kind of punishment am i looking at for 27mph in a 20, and
what punishment for 34mph in 20
do i have any defence with the road signs not being completely
covered up, the 20mph was clear as day.
i am not at nip stage, just happened today, i am the registered
keeper and my details are up to date, i am not in the 'new
driver' stage, 4-5 years employees

A286 Haslemere camera & 14 day rule
By: 50mph Date: July 28, 2024, 6:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Got snapped in a 40 mph zone, my speedo showed 51 when I looked
at it and braked.
Camera on the A286 Haslemere at around village of Fernhurst.
Seems a favourite spot and seems to catch out a lot of people,
especially since not too well seen.

All above just to share so other people do not get caught out at
that location.
My question ; Offence occured exactly days ago on July 14th, I
assume 14 days expire tomorrow. NIP not received yet and
tomorrow 29/7 is the last day. If the NIP is received after
that date, is it best to take a pic with the postie to record
date & time received to prove NIP not received in time. Thanks
