Caught speeding, reckon I will get a ban??

[Fisty]

Right you lot, this is an odd one.

Recently the council has reduced the speed limit near me to 20mph from 30mph. I completely forgot about this one morning and got caught at 31mph. NIP has arrived this morning.
The only reason I can see for them reducing the limit is to make some extra cash, 2 days after the limit is reduced they have camera vans parked on it!!

Now, the speed I was doing is >50% of the limit, reckon this is going to see me banned??

Tom

EDIT:-OH FFS

Its not a NIP, (had a bad day and didnt read it properly) It's a "warning" from the local speed team (old people with a speed camera) apparently my reg is on file and if im caught again I could be prosecuted..... No wonder I didnt see a van.

Cunts.

Doubt it, TBH. I reckon you'll be alright.

Would be very harsh if they did - I mean, it's not like you've been riding the same stretch of road at 30mph for years perfectly safely before they intervened :lol;

[skylineonfire]

I doubt it, especially given the circumstances behind it. 3 points 60 quid most likely?

I never realized they would do speed checks/cameras on 20 zones, I always thought it started at 30, not sure where I read that, here I think.

Ffs Tom..

Sorry I can't say anything on the ban side. Have you been asked to come to court?

You haven't had much good luck recently. I hope that this is the end of it for you and Pork Chop!

Just noticed that there's a difference between the legalities of a 20mph ZONE and a 20mph speed limit. Which has been implemented here?

Not sure on what the differences in legalities are, just that there are some

Old people with a speed camera? I knew there was something odd going on a few days ago in Bedford! Tons of old people all in high vis crowding around a roundabout that links together 3 roads, with a few tripods and some odd looking cameras, I braked thinking they were real police (wasnt even speeding, just habit as did everyone else)

They really have the authority to get your address and mail you threatening you?

[cornish]

There is some weird stuff abut zones and limits for 20mph places. Some stuff about speed humps and other features being present or not.

'Could' be prosecuted? Send them a letter back telling them nosey old cnuts with spy cameras fillming you cos they fancy you will be reported to the police as perverts

If you get banned for doing 31mph then you're going to have to make up a story for 'why you got banned' or forever be the subject of copious amounts of ridicule

Miles OT:

I remember reading somewhere, that a lot of the 20 mph limits have seen an increase in accidents in some areas, as drivers were losing concentration by going so slow, getting bored and frustrated.

See if I can dig it up.

Ask to see the Traffic Order changing the speed limit to 20. Ask to see evidence that the required notice was published.

Or just send them a picture of your arse with an invitation to apply lips.

20mph zones bother me.

In Hull as far as I am aware, _every_ 20 limit has accompanying speed bumps, making it not only completely obvious, but suicidal (in suspension terms) to fly around at 30.

In Oxford, vast swathes of the city centre are 20mph, including many back streets. You literally have to guess sometimes, or annoy the person behind you by doing 20 in a 30.

20mph zones should be reserved for schools and hospitals. Someone can turn the signs on when they unlock the front gate. Job done.

[symonh2000]

I was driving in Oxford the other week in the 20 zone doing 25mph.

A car undertook me using the bus lane, then shouted abuse out of the window.

This was on the Banbury road just before you join St Giles near the city center.
