bruno22rf Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Deffo 14 days, including weekends, from the day AFTER the offence. I would not worry too much as very few cameras are actually working at any one time-if you do get caught, check with your Insurance company to see if they are going to load your premium for the particular offence before deciding what course of action to take-I was done for an SP30 and when I rang my Insurer they told me that the offence was so common that they did not consider it when setting the premium.

chrisjpainter Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 You'll be In the clear. If you did most of it at 45-50 (assume an average of 47) and only accelerated to 70 over last couple of hundred metres it probably increased your average to 47.1. Add in the over reading of your speedo and the 10% allowance that they factor in and you are probably 10mph below getting a ticket. Chillax. Yeah this is one time where the average speed camera system actually works in the (careful) motorist's favour! the speed you were doing over a greater distance prior to accelerating will count for a lot more than that the comparatively short time you were doing over the limit. you might be all right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always assumed that the average speed is taken between any 2 consecutive cameras and not the overall distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks guys. I've always assumed that the average speed is taken between any 2 consecutive cameras and not the overall distance. I think you will find that it is taken between 2 consecutive cameras.

DSPUK Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Good old Shropshire Star said the other day that 1200 Numpties have so far been issued with ticket's - I am on cruise control from start to finish - most times--- but there is always some plonker doing 43mph then as you start to pass 7mph quicker they speed up.

Ya reckon if I sent all the PW happy thoughts to PC Plod, that he might have a change of heart?! We can but hope! I've been done a couple of times - in my more reckless youth! - and both times it appeared on my mat within 2 days. The longer you hear nothing, the better. although, it's always the hope that's then crushed that's worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I know its after the fact, but may I offer a tip' 30 limit , drop to 3rd . 40 or 50 limit drop to 4th do not change up until you clear the limits. It wont stop you speeding , but it will help you to control the car's speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikk Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 They were the only ones to get caught though, imagine how many times 'they' get away with it...including one who had a ban for no insurance reduced to a few weeks instead of a year because he needed his car for work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypig Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Sorry to make your week longer but, The 14 days to serve certain papers will only apply to the registered owner or keeper... If it's a company car or registered to someone else then... Papers need to be served on them... They have 28 days to reply. Papers then need to be served expeditiously on the named person and so on until it lands on your mat... Could take months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnerbob Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Did you know that the trade off between taking three points and an awareness course is the money raised from said course is channelled into funding more cameras !!

lampro Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 wouldn't surprise me , in the west mids they have stopped funding the cameras on the b roads and making more of a nuisance on the motorways and duel carriageways with average speed cameras and mobile units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
