Think i might have got caught by a mobile camera today doing over 110mph, i slowed as soon as i saw it but im not sure on the range of them things, any idea's. And if it turns out they did get me can i get round it with any loopholes:( :(

I'm told there are students somewhere on the web offereing to say it was them and to take points etc, not sure if they'd go as far as taking a ban. Suppose everything has a price.

 

there are some loop holes i beleive, such as filling in and returning the NIP but not signing it.

or if you don't get a NIP within 14 days then they can bog off.

 

Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988,

 

(1) Subject to section 2 of this Act, where a person is prosecuted for an offence to which this section applies, he is not to be convicted unless—

(a) he was warned at the time the offence was committed that the question of prosecuting him for some one or other of the offences to which this section applies would be taken into consideration, or

 

(b) within fourteen days of the commission of the offence a summons (or, in Scotland, a complaint) for the offence was served on him, or

 

 

© within fourteen days of the commission of the offence a notice of the intended prosecution specifying the nature of the alleged offence and the time and place where it is alleged to have been committed, was—

(i) in the case of an offence under section 28 or 29 of the [1988 c. 52.] Road Traffic Act 1988 (cycling offences), served on him,

(ii) in the case of any other offence, served on him or on the person, if any, registered as the keeper of the vehicle at the time of the commission of the offence.

There may not have been any film in it if your lucky fingers crossed Keith:(

Wait 17 days initially. If you have heard nothing within that time then you're ok.

 

The NIP must be sent within 14 days, not received within 14 days.

CHEERS

I thouth you had 14 day to revieve it, but saying that unless they send it recoded there is no record of it being recieved.

 

They are allowed extra days if the car is between owners or hire car.
