Speed Camers "Sell By Date" PtII

[Vincent]

Ok, to recap

3/7.......flashed doing 38mph

?/?........recieved and sent form back stating I was driving etc

25/8.... recieved offer & invite to for National Speed Awareness bolocks and £85 blackmail offer.

16/11....Recieved conditional offer of fixed penalty

23/12.....Recieved loads of papers informing me the case will be heard on 25/01 localy in front of a couple of bogus magistrates and I havn't read it all yet but it looks like I can plead guilty by post.

Can they still prosecute me for something that happened so long ago?

The good thing is, while all this time has passed,one endorsement has expired and one nearly has

One other thing, when I sent back the first letter stating who was driving etc, i notice that I hadn't ticked the box saying that I would be interested in a blackmail offer and the awareness course.

LOL. you were given an offer to do a course and avoid points, and didn't?

Basically, you could have avoided points, now you're going to get points.

You tool, you should of taken the course.

Points are going to cost your more than £90 course.

I couldn't afford the course at the time. And, as two of my endorsements are finished, insurance wouldn't be much more. At my age, insurance isn't too excesive anyhow. If this pans out how I think, it might not cost me money or points.

Oh well, 1 fine a year is acceptable I guess. My chrimbo has been made much more jolly by the amount of burnt out speed cameras I've seen recently I wonder if people usualy burn them if they have been flashed to destroy any evidence or just as a service to the local community?

Didn't someone on here (? Cansa), get buggered as they totted up his points at the time of the offence rather than at the time of the conviction... i.e. he got banned even though the points had expired before the case was heard...

Don't know if that's gonna apply to you, only you mentioned having at least two lots of points at the time of the offence.

My insurance is about £50 more on both the bike and car with my 3 points + the original fine. So it's cost me £460...

If you've forfeited the course and right to pay the reduced 60 pound fine you're probably going to be looking at a higher fine and possibly even more points as its now at the magistrates discretion.

I was stupid enough to ignore the invititation to take 3 points and pay 60£ for an 'unsafe' load and received a £220 fine plus 3 points - apparently the guidance is up to 6 points. I clearly lost out there!

Unless there are mitigating circumstances and you want to pay a good solicitor then I'd suggest ignoring these letters is a very stupid thing to do. Of course you will have to pay the court costs in addition to any fine they choose to give you...

When you admitted the offence then you don't run out of time...

Used to be, you could avoid it if you took too long to ascertain who was driving/riding... Which was 3 months!

Could do this by very slow communication, what charge? When? evidence please? then just at the end of the 3 months admit it (so you keep within the law) so when they get it the 3 months is up and they drop it!!! Helped if you got the ticket while driving a work van...

But once you admitted it the time frames change and they can take a reasonable time, which this is, to put you through the courts, which they have!

Should have taken the course
