Twat Van caught me

A spot I know has a Scamra Van bloody caught me, I have no idea how, and I always see it!!
So I was doing 60 in a 50 FFS.

What do I do guys, any way of getting out of this one, or do I have to sign and get points?
I haven’t read the letter yet. It was posted to my old dears’ house.

Cheers

KillA

Check all the details on the letter are correct. Road, Time, Date, Registration etc.

To be honest though, is there any point trying to get out of it. Likely you'll only get 3 points and £60 fine. Which you can probably pay by post.

3 points doesn't tend to effect insurance, unless its on-top of others of course, and £60 fine isn't that much.

60 in a 50. Were you looking at the speedo?
It may only be 55 you were measured at. Not a jail sentence.
Both my bikes speedos show 10% to the fast side. And my car at work too. My old BMr shows bang on though. All checked and double-checked using GPS

We can't 'not sign' up here in Jockland as I believe the filf would come round and take all your furniture away if you don't pay fines.
Mrs Thatcher to thank for dragging that old chestnut up from out of the middle ages. (Long life Mrs. T. you Beeatch.)

Hi

Try reading up on Peppipoo (but be careful that what you write does not make it obvious who you are).

There are possibly ways round it as legally they are asking you for a confession but have not cautioned you as they are required to do by the Police And Criminal Evidence act.

All the best

Keith

Cheers for the info guys, can’t believe I was caught in the most obvious place, when I have been on a week holiday all over the place!
Dam pigs.

If you seriously want to have a decent chance to contest it, I'd get a solicitor onto it.

I've got insurance so if I get caught speeding, I show my insurance company and they'll look into it and contest it if there's anyway out. Smile

Or... you could just admit that you were speeding (you were), and pay the fine, and take your punishment.

It is the law after all.

Your mistake wasn't speeding, it was getting caught.

Unlucky.

Oh, and this just occurred to me.... (it's just a joke Killa - chill mate!)

If a speed van catches speeders.... does a "Twat Van" catch twats?

Thanks for the info for the law on speeding Jon, yeah seems it’s still there. Rolling Eyes

I’m used to your jokes now, so tame I think your serious.

No offence

Just asking if there are still ways of getting around a small offence, like that one where you don’t sign and send it back, worked for a few people didn’t it.
I dont mind paying, just rather not.

For fucks sake, he was being genuine.

You got caught speeding, theres no way you can get out of it, so pay the fine and take the points or go to court and just get the same result but with more costs to pay.

You fucked up, now take the consequences.

About 3 years ago I got flashed doing 84mph in a 60mph zone by a mobile camera unit. The fine arrived in the post. The reminder arrived in the post. I put them to one side and forgot about them. Seems they forgot about me, have heard nowt more from them.

Shaun, there is ways of getting out of almost anything, why not try it.
I have 3 points on there now, I posted on here because if someone came up with a plan, I’d do it.

Cheers for the info Keith, there is a lot to read but I think I might be getting the jist of it.

You were thinking of selling your bike at that time, so you can't be sure of who was riding it. Write back for photographic evidence so you can help to identify the rider. Be polite and helpful. It works. Very Happy

killa · Won't Shut Up Joined: 18 Oct 2004 Karma :

Yeah I have had the licence less than 2 years. It’ll probably go then. FFS.
I thought about this….
I’m going down with a fight, I’m gonna play some GTA and get some ideas.
I think I’m fucked.

Anyone got a ped for sale. Laughing

I should have added that after they provide you with photographic evidence, you still unfortunately won't be able to identify which of the potential purchasers it was...

It worked for my best friend Wink

not long ago. He sent the first form back unsigned with a letter explaining the situation. They then sent a second form, which he signed but where it asks for the identity of the driver he wrote 'Please see attached letter'. They didn't even come back with a photograph, just wrote back saying they wouldn't be taking it any further.

My mate got away with a ticket by asking for photgraphic evidence!! He said that he'd recently lost his plate aswell and had to buy another one! (which was actually true!) Worth a try, failing that i'll give you £750 for the VFR!!

killa · Won't Shut Up Joined: 18 Oct 2004 Karma :

My VFR is worth more than you.

Sorry
