Have i been caught speeding?

[fkvtr]

Sorry if this has been aksed a million times before, but im after passing the speed cops and the had the handheld "hairdryer" pointed at me. I didnt see them until i had passed and im not sure if i was goin over 30. Do these chase after u if you were speeing or should i expect a letter in the post?:wall:

[Karl]

Death sentence imo.

[rey]

[Cal]

Maybe he was just doing his hair

Search button is your friend.

LOADS of threads.

[fkvtr]

I did a search. Nobody seems to actually know :wacko:

[Matt]

Youve got 2 weeks mate. If you hear nothing in two weeks then your off the hook. I dont think they chase you either. They do in america but i dunno about here

[jacko87]

The letters can take upto 3 months to arrive, or that used to be the case anyway :n:

Is it definately 2 weeks now?

[Luke]

2 weeks for personal vehicle.
3 weeks for company vehicle/hire car/van etc.

Anything past these dates are VOID.

[Matt]

I was watching fifth gear on dave the other day (so its from and old series) and they said its 2 weeks

[hellonpluto]

i m sure they chase after you or have some other copper down the road to stop you.

If you are caught by a speed camera how long does that take to go through? I cant remember if one flashed me in a moment of non-concentration (i was very close to the speed limit like 33)...not sure if i dreamt it thou...i'm confused.com

[betty02]

Dont speed anyway

[jacko87]

2 weeks for personal vehicle.
3 weeks for company vehicle/hire car/van etc.

Anything past these dates are VOID.

Ideal then :y:

[fkvtr]

Hmm guess il have to play the waiting game.meh.

[alanrichie]

Dont speed anyway

:O

How long have you been sitting on this information :geek:

[ben_glen]

they dont chase you, they only chase you if its a traffic cop and he's in the car, if he was stood out the car with a hand held its usually a letter through the post within 2 weeks..

[Craddock]

Yeah, you have.

[fkvtr]

The thing is, i only got the car on saturday and the guy i got it from has 9 points on his license. Hope he has sent the owner reg from away already for his sake !

[a17vts]

I had the very same thing happen to me the other week. I'm not sure what speed I was doing but they looked like they were going to come after me but they left it. That was about 3 weeks ago now.

Fingers crossed nothin will come of it.

[moxy89]

its is 3 MONTHS 100%, they wont chase you either, you find out soon enough normally they come within 2 weeks but they can take up to 3 months.

[Yates]

with the hand held ones they dont take pictures so how can they send you a letter? theres no proof.

with handheld they wave you over if your speeding or if they are sat in car they will follow you

[Andi9386]

Yates is right folks, with a hand held speed gun the Police can't prove who it was driving. Think about the hundreds of motorists that probablly use that road, and with out the Police taking down every single vehicle's Registration plate and car make and model then no action can be taken against you.

If it had been a police officer in their car with the hand held speed gun then they can follow you and pull you over and give you a £60 fine and 3 points on your licence on the spot.

*EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* wrong.
Some of the more hightech ones can trace your numberplate with the same technology as numberplate recognition.
So depending on the type of gun used, you may have been caught

oh and the fine isn't on the spot usually these days

[rey]

down on the road where i drive up to work, they have a cop standing there with his speed gun, and then further up the road, two police bikes, and two t5s pulling the speeders over..

[Add91289]

type speed traps into google and thers a site that tells you everything you need to know. cba to find it doh. i went on it once.

[dannyboy2005]

Dad got caught by a zapper, same thing. He got a letter in the post within a week and that was in a company van.. 38MPH in a 30mph. he says he can't see how he would do it but you can;t deny it :S

[Easty]

If you didn't get pulled then you're ok, the radars' are just a speed indication device to alert the officer how fast you're travelling.

It doesn't take a pic of your plate or anything, only the mobile camera's which are in the back of vans do that
