Re: NIP in unclear temporary roadworks

eventually I increased my speed above 50mph as I was terrified
of being rear ended by faster trucks

I hear trucks have brakes, steering wheels and all sorts of
other mod cons these days.

Handheld speed gun used by PCSO
By: Jjb0800 Date: September 19, 2024, 2:06 pm

Hello guys,
So today, I finished work after 6 pm, I turned out of the
trading estate, and into the residential road which Is all 20mph
and after the mini roundabout, I see three pcso's and one short
lady pcso what appears to have in her hand a handheld camera and
as soon as I was approaching, she started moving away and trying
to make herself invisible, and they were all situated on a bend
so cannot anticipate and slow down from the distance. I was
doing 26mph on my digital dash and then slowed eventually. Will
I be penalised for this?

While it is possible at that speed you could receive a NIP &
request for driver details through the post, I would have
expected by the weight of numbers that they would be conducting
roadside stops. Was she aiming the device at you or just holding
it?

Sit over stop line on amber
By: Worriedinwales Date: September 24, 2024, 10:08 am

Hi,
I have not received a NIP but would hugely appreciate an answer.
I suffer from OCD and have been very concerned about traffic
offences following a seperate red light incident in which I
received an SJP notice (to which I pleaded guilty) and am yet to
receive the outcome.
In short, are you guilty of an offence if your car straddles the
stop line but you stopped on amber and did not move at all on
red? I.e. the car does not move on red but is stationary over
the line.
Today as I approached a set of lights, it turned amber.
Unfortunately in my hurry to stop I passed the line and was sat
with the nose of the car, and possibly the front wheel, over the
line. I did not move the car again until it was safely green.
The light in question was this one here - 292 A4051
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/xcwXvc1HoNC8ysL2A?g_st=ac.
Would it have flashed if so? And would it be obvious it had
done so?
Thank you in advance. Again, I know I am probably overly
worried, but would hugely appreciate the help.

If any part of your car moves [forward] over the stop line while
the red light is showing, you commit the offence. The same
applies to amber lights unless it was not safe (or possible) to
stop. It is very rare to be prosecuted for crossing on amber.

Thank you for your response, especially so quickly. I suppose
what I am asking then is would you expect the camera pictured to
have gone off?
I expect that it is triggered by sensors/ an algorith to detect
movement after the red light. In which case it would not have
done so, as I did not move forward at all after stopping, albeit
just over the line, on amber.

Don't know. Don't care. Pretend you're a grown up and deal with
it.
Also do not bump threads.

Last week I was driving and a cyclist (no, not _him_) pulled up
next to the car at traffic lights and looked in the (open)
passenger window, presumably to nosey about for mobile phone
usage (of which there was none). My passenger had a few choice
words for the cyclist, who said he'd be reporting this to the
police.
I've not had anything through yet, but just to put me at ease a
little, am I as driver liable in any way for the abuse the
passenger shouted at the cyclist, and if not, am I under any
obligation to name the passenger if the cops do get in touch?

33/34 in a 30 (overtaking slow car)
By: rsk_1 Date: October 31, 2024, 4:14 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello just wondering the consequences for what has happened.
I was driving behind a very slow car on a 30mph road. Single
lane each way in an area where there is a school on this road
also. This was around 7.30pm today.
The car was driving at 20 - 22mph the whole way down the road,
and behind me was a queue of cars also.
On a stretch of this road, i have over taken the car but did not
notice there was a gatso camera on a pole.
The camera has flashed me (my digital display showed 33mph)
Would i be getting 3 points and £100 fine or worse for over
taking?
Thank you

It won’t be for overtaking, it will be for speeding. If you get
an NIP (to registered keeper within 14 days) you should be
offered a course.
