I was going along the dual carriageway out of Bournemouth with the speedo reading 60 (Limit is 50).

Spotted the damn camera van, the gps was showing 57 so hopefully the threshold was quite high but i'm not holding out much hope.

Whats the score? Obviously i've got 14 days to cross my fingers that the threshold was set high but its more than likely that it was set low.

Whats the game plan? I want to make them work for their £60!! I'm not rolling over and letting them take all my money easily.

What should my first action be if a NIP comes through?


Thanks,

Let me guess....just short of where the 50 limit becomes NSL ?? A favourite for the local photographic society

At 57, you are right on the 'guideline' threshold of 10% plus 2mph. I know Hants have been known (very recently) to issue NIPs for well under the threshold but I'm not sure about Dorset.

An uncomfortable 14 day wait lies ahead.

As you come out of Bournemouth there is a flyover (Castlepoint turn off) as i came over that i spotted it.

If you spotted him as you came over the flyover then dropped your speed you should be O.K (well I was), but it’s worth remembering that the git often sits there to protect the children.

Fingers crossed. The worst bit I was ignoring the camera alert I was getting on the GPS as i've never seen the van there! I won't be doing that again.


I have to say it was a real contribution to road safety they were making! NOT.

I think there may have been some irony involved

They've got 6 months to lay a court summons

But they don't seem to have sent him an NIP, so we can presume hes safe.
