Flashed by camera, how long till notice?

[Tony*T3]

Driving into Cardiff on Saturday 21st December, didnt notice my speed had crept up to around 44mph (ish) when I had entered a 30 zone (bit annoyed, main road, reduced from 50 - 40 - 30 over around a mile, somehow missed the drop tp 30mph). Was wondering what/when to expect from the enforcers? Double flash of the camera, does this mean defiantly going to be prosecuted? Just hope it was below 'throw the book at him' threshold. No points on my licence currently.

Road was completly empty at 9.30 Ssaturday before Christmas, which surprised me.... obviously not many people out last minute shopping.

What can I expect, and when?

Not necessarily. There might not have been a camera in the housing. If there was, it might have run out of film. The double flash might not have been triggered by you, etc etc.

I do remember reading that there was a 1 in 8 chance of receiving notification through the post after triggering a static Gatso. How accurate this estimation is or was is unknown, mind.

The Registered Keeper is required to be served a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days of an alleged speeding offence. The day of the offence is not included when computing the 14 days.

If the scammers fail to serve a NIP on the RK within the 14 days required by law, then prosecution of the offence to which the NIP refers should fail.

So who is the Registered Keeper, according to DVLA records (ie the V5 logbook) ?

I'm the registered keeper. Its now technically over 14 days, however, would this include all the bank holidays and the slow post over this period?

Its strictly 14 calendar days - irrespective of public holidays, weekends etc.

The scammers / police are required to make allowance for postal strikes, increased postal times over the festive period, etc (by posting earlier or using a guaranteed delivery service, for instance).
