Speeding Fines...

[Chr15]

as above, how long is it until the paperwork comes through the post?

[JRC1]

Within 2 weeks iirc..

The police have 2 weeks in which to issue you with a ticket as long as there are no extra circumstances to track the registered driver / keeper of the car. Extra circumstances are if its a company car, registerd at wrong address, etc, etc.

[Chr15]

2 weeks from the offence
or
2 weeks from the next working day?

mate* thought he was busted on a saturday. that would have been 2 weeks just passed, so would seem he's OK then.

*mate - me, i have none

[JRC1]

2 weeks from the offence I would have thought.

[bpm]

Its 2 weeks from the offence

[Chr15]

Need thanks in gen chat imo.

Was average cameras, was a case of not being sure and not caring.

Slowed in time for the fixed camera (tomtom is shit, garmin ftw)

EDIT:

OT - JRC, how muc difference did the toad alarm make to your insurance premium?

he police have to either warn you at the time of the alleged offence that you may be prosecuted or, when you are caught by camera, you have to be notified within 14 days by means of a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP). There are, however, a number of “escape clauses” to this. The legislation says that the NIP must be sent so as to reasonably sure of it getting to the registered keeper within 14 days. This means that if it is delayed in the post the offence can still be pursued. The police do not have to prove that they posted the letter, or that it was received. If you do dispute that it was received it will be for you to show, in court, that this is the case. (I know – it’s hard to prove that something did not happen, but that’s the law as it stands).

The legislation also allows the police extra time to trace the driver in the case of the car having been hired or, in some circumstances, a company car. It says that they have to act “with due diligence” in their efforts to track the driver, but no time limits define this part of the legislation. The prosecution must, in normal circumstances, be started within 6 months of the offence.

mine came through in like 2weeks'ish

[Chr15]

Been 17 days then, 18 tomorrow.

^^ RE - part 2 - as its my car and Im the registered keeper, that extra time isnt likely to be given, is it?

Now I know the times, Im going to assume Im OK.

Thanks to everybody for answering :y:

Thanks to everybody for answering :y:Don't ashume anything at all, just cause uve not received it doesn't mean the police won't do anyhting. Read what I've writen.

[Chr15]

Even if it was delayed, surely 14 days is long enough?

[Mr_P]

17 days and you've usually got nothing to worry about as long as there are no other circumstances.

The majority of tickets arrive within a week anyway, mine took 5 days xD

[Chr15]

Maybe I went too fast for the camera..?

[dan-vts1]

mine took between 3 and 4 weeks mate for 1 of them.

[adam19]

could be a delay in the post, i say if you aint got one by monday then you`ll be fine

[Pieface]

Wasn't it actually up to 3 months before they deffinitely can't send you a ticket?

[DevilDamo]

Providing you've already received the NiP within 14 days of the date of the offence.

[Chr15]

Got home today.

Nothing.

[Prickle]

How fast over 'the limit' were you going like?

[Chr15]

Ages ago, cant remember.
