Got a speeding ticket today frown

The offence code on the ticket is HE53. Do any of the BIB know what that means and what I will end up getting on my licence?

Thanks

Internal offence code.

Did you receive a Fixed Penalty ?

If not,
What speed was alleged -
What was the limit for the type of vehicle you were driving -
How many points do you have currently -
When did you first pass a driving test -

Never heard of an HE53 - the insurer ratings guides dont give any idea as to what it is, either.
I'd advise speaking to a solicitor, or CAB. That just isn't right...

It sounds like an internal police identifier code for the alleged offence. It is not the same as any endorsement code which may go on your licence.

I assume you were pulled over at the roadside and that you were given a Fixed Penalty notice ?

in that case, 3 points and £60 and the matter is put to bed.

With regard to the endorsement code on your licence - it would be SP50 if you were pulled over on a motorway, or SP30 on any other type of road.

Every force has it's own 'internal' codes for FPN offences ..... you need to ring the force who issued the ticket and ask someone what it stands for - simple as that.

Do not get confused - as many seem to on here - and think it is something that will appear on your driving licence. It is an admin thing, no more, no less.

Out of interest why not just use the "normal" code?

There is no 'normal' code .... 'No seat belt' in one area is a different code to another. I accept a national list of codes for police use would be somewhat more helpful but that is far too easy rolleyes

Tickets - all that I have seen - have a space for the officer to write the offence in so the driver knows what they are being done for.
