More Speeding Qs

[S1417]

For those that have been through the process.

How long does it usually take for the fixed penalty or summons to be issued once the NIP has been returned?

Asking for a friend...

Up to 6 months.

Over 6 months and it's difficult for them to proceed (in England, providing you use the right legal argument) or impossible to proceed (in Scotland, with the same proviso).

When I was up for posessing a vehicle without insurance, the court date come through for 2 days before the 6 months was up.

Enjoy your wait.

If your on the Brink then buy a Lawyer.
They can present your mitigation better to the audience.
Court is a bit of a Closed Shop and they relate to one of their own rather than some oik from the streets.

Unless you reckon it's not worth the bother of course.

83 in a 60 - isn't that just 3 points and a £100 fine?

I got nipped in Scotland a few years ago by a hidden traffic car, averaging 84.74mph over a mile, in a 60 zone too. When I got pulled the copper said I was a lucky lad because anything over 85 in a 60 and that's when they take your license?

Needless to say I fought for the pen and happily signed for my points...

ACPO suggests that anything above 86 in a 60 is the start line for prosecutions. I reckon you will have the Points and fine.

The CPS don't have the budget for contested cases, they'd far rather you just fess up and pay the blackmail money.

However, if you don't get the blackmail letter through within a month then it's likely going to court.

Don't the points increase if you're +10 mph over the limit?

I ended up with 4 points and £250 fine for doing 51 in a 40. That was Manx rules though.
