thanks for any input.[/quote]
So, you posted a thread in the live cases forum, with the title
"Speeding Ticket", because you saw a camera van and haven't
received a speeding ticket, and accept that you are bang to
rights, but want our opinion of whether the road looks like a
higher limit, despite acknowledging that street lights with no
speed limit signs to thee contrary means it's a restricted road
with a speed limit of 30mph?
Is there something in the water?

From the image what would you guys assume the speed limit was
bearing in mind it's a 3 lane carriage with a 30mph road sign on
HTML the exiting side road.[img]http://A59

Assuming your estimate of speed is correct, best tip to get
lower than 6 points would be to fill in the request for drivers
detail asap and receive a fixed penalty of 3 points & £100. Or
you could try to delay things again for as long as possible,
then delay the court date for a bit longer, argue it out at
court, get maybe 5 points instead of 6 and a fine (c) 125% of
your weekly wage, but at least you will have won.

delaying tactics.successful tactics on band b for getting 4 poin
ts instead of 6
By: naffedoff70 Date: September 3, 2024, 12:38 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I started a similar post the other day, looks like I added too
much additional "colour" and it got taken down.
background:
last time I inflicted a similar situation on myself I managed to
delay,delay,delay (pre covid) until eventually getting a summary
justice "fill this in or else" type form. the eventualoutcome
was I delayed my conviction @11 months so only had "active"
points for 2 years 1 month (points applied from date of
offence). I obviously took additional care in the interimperiod
but, for example, if I had been caught in speed awareness
'territory', that would have still been open to me. It also
delayed additional insurance cost pain and reduced the period
said pain was suffered by 11 months. The problem for me is that
all the correspondence around delaying etc sits on a dead
computer.
It was 52 in a 30, I tried some old yarns at the time but did
still cop the full 6 points. Now expired.
last week I've likely picked up a band B, no NIP yet but
probably somewhere between 71-74 (real speed) in a 50. obviously
I understand strict liability, etc, I'm going to take some pain,
would ususally be a straight 6 points I genuinely believe that
there are some mitigating factors that make it "not as bad" as
many other "70 odd in a 50". I'm wondering if at the summary
justice stage,I have a slim chance of getting 4 instead of 6
points, assuming any actual proportionality gets applied.
Two aims -
1- anything to delay the process as long as possible, so all
tactics on that appreciated. Just to be clear I'm not too fussed
if dragging out to summary justice incurrs additional costs.
2- input from anyone that has managed to mitigate a band B down
to four points -Can it be done? Or is 4 pOints only the preserve
of those only a few M.P.H. into Band B?
Any constructive input appreciated.

Basically, you haven't 'picked up a band B' because that would
only apply if you delay, delay, delay, and then take to court.

NIP in unclear temporary roadworks
By: Mustang Sally Date: September 10, 2024, 10:40 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Message:
I came onto the M25 at 3 am from the M40 with no indication of
roadworks or speed restrictions. As I entered onto the slip road
there was on one lane a 50 mph restriction,all other lanes had
no signs , the road had no visible roadworks,looking up the
motorway there were no visible speed restrictions on the next
gantry . I went through at about 60mph and was flashed . The
" roadworks" never materialised and no further speed
restrictions were evidence d although there were arrows
indicating we should move to lane 1 . By the M4 ,no release
evidenced but , eventually I increased my speed above 50mph as I
was terrified of being rear ended by faster trucks . Can I
fight the NIP if I get one ?? It was totally unclear what the
speed limit was.

OP, you mention "unclear temporary roadworks". Why do you think
there were roadworks?
