how many points?

[rooster]

doing 100 in the chim on tuesday on the A11, saw mobile camera unit by the side of the road, slowed to 60 but probably too late! 15 mins later doing 90 along the A47, another of the bl00dy things. How soon will I hear and what will I get!!!!!

Ouch ! NIP has to be served no later than 14 days after the offence.

On non-30mph limit roads, 26mph over generally goes straight to summons. Less than 26mph over is generally CoFP - £60 & 3 points..

Hope you spotted 'em in time :fingerscrossed:

SPL has experts and it would be worth posting there, in the meantime you have 14 days for a NIP to be served, give it a couple of days extra for good measure then you can breath again.

First one, if caught at 100 will result in a summons, second one more than likely £60 and 3 points.

Again I defer to the experts on SPL however I seem to remember if you are caught twice on one run you might be able to get it classed as one offence and hence only get done once. I may be wrong though.

Best of luck.

As already said - they have 14 days to respond (plus one or two days to allow for post) - must be sent 1st class.

If you do get one(or two) - head off to www.pepipoo.com and post the details there and at least try to fight it.

Cheers

Being caught on two different roads 15 minutes apart won't count as the same offence.

Rooster, lets hope that either your speedo was massively over-reading, or that the mobile sites were just ANPR.

If you are the Reg Keeper of the vehicle then if you have had nothing by the last post on the 15th day from the offence then breath easy.

If however something does plop on the mat after this take and preserve the envelope for date of franking and what class of postage used. Anything other than 2 nd class for them is OK. You may need this to mount your defence to contest a claim by CPS NOIP posted in time.

From what described very doubtful that it can be classed as a 'continuing offence' and whilst the first speed mention is outside the realms of a Conditional Offer and therefore a Court appearance the second is not. But, if they spot both then they can take both to Magistrates Court.

Which raises an interesting point. If they go Court - Conditional Offer, then 3 points will be on the Licence by the time the Court case is heard whereas the Court offence was commited when the Licence was clean. Which ever way will this go down well with the Bench?

Which reminds me there were two speeders up at Court, both members of the Bench. Before the cases they reached an agreement that they would deal with each others case and be lenient. First was dealt with and minimum penalty. Came the second- max fine and 6 months disqualification. The second approached the first and remined him that they were supposed to deal with each other leniently." Ah" said the second Chairman," I couldn't. That was the second case this morning so had to set an example........"
