'VS770' - 85 in 70
Discussion
Hi guys,
A couple of questions if you don't mind
First of all! On a speeding ticket, what does the offense code 'VS770' mean? It was for an 85 in a 70 limit however this code doesn't seem to correlate with the normal 'SP' codes you see listed. Just one for interest really.
Secondly, does it make any difference to anything if the ticket was not signed? The officer put an 'X' in the box but the accused did not sign anything.
Thirdly, on suggestion of a speed awareness course by the officer. What is the likely outcome if nothing arrives in the post after 3-4 weeks and the accused simply forgot about it? Will they be chased up or should they make an effort to contact the people running the course and organize it themselves?
Thanks!

That's three questions, not a couple.
SPxx are endorsement codes, nothing to do with FPNs.
VS770 will be an internal code used by whichever constabulary tugged you.
Can't help with the second. Someone better qualified will know.
Third: not sure - maybe sit tight, don't poke the wasps' nest, and it may all go away?
You can only attend a course if offered one, so if you're going to contact anyone it should be the police not the provider.

Accepting the FPN is you admitting you're guilty, otherwise you would go to court and fight for your 'innocence'. You do not have to accept the FPN unless you admit your guilt.
Not sure if you would have to sign the ticket to 'accept' the ticket, and obviously the officers signature can just be an 'x'.

Your signing to state your detail are correct and you have been given the document. Same as opening fnp in the post is not an admission of guilt.Not sure if you would have to sign the ticket to 'accept' the ticket, and obviously the officers signature can just be an 'x'.
The officer will explain if you wish contest it on the back there are details of how to go to court. The fnp has is normally 7 days to produce licence etc and 28 days to pay the fine. If you fail to do that you are automatically not accepting the fnp and court action will normally follow.
