Caught on fixed camera

[V1PER]

Got caught on a fixed camera 36 in a 30 ..
Asked for photo and got it is it worth asking for calibration cert or just take the fine and points???

Wouldnt mind but it was at 10pm and i was covering a call out for a work mate...Oh well shit happens...

I do have a clean licence at the moment...

Ask for a course first ... could save you on the points

Dont do the coarse in beds.....According to the letter just after the money i guess...

Another example of lottery justice in Britain. Commit an "offence" in one area, get a course and no penalty, do it in another area and you do not get that option.

Points it is then i suppose............

Remember to take your trousers down now as the insurance company will want a share of the camera profits as well now

And this is where it can make your blood boil even more. I ran dummy quotes with a SP30 and it worked out around 40-60 quid extra a year....BUT the swines load that for 5 years, even though the offence is wiped after 3. My present insurer said they would cancel if I had just one SP30!! ( And they are another 50 odd quid cheaper than others )

So it is not 'just' a 60 quid fine...more like 200-400 quid over the years.

Still, you MAY get lucky. I sent the signed NIP back and never heard a thing. Case times out next week.

( Mind you, I did move back to NZ at the same time!! )

Why don't you have a detector?

If it's a FIXED camera, eyesight often works quite well as well.

To be caught at 36 or so it must be 40 indicated..... Not a good idea.
