Speeding Question
Discussion
Hi all. So I received a NIP stating that I had been driving at 47 in a 40 zone.
The issue is, on that day my wife and I shared the driving. I have already done a speed awareness course last year so I can’t do another one, and my previous 3 points for speeding have just dropped off. My wife has a clean licence. Now she may have been driving at this time so she would be legible for a speed awareness course. My issue is if I put her down as the driver and the police check, I don’t want to get into trouble for a genuine mistake. Yes, we could request the photograph but I don’t want to delay it any longer.
If I take the points, although I will only have 3 points on my licence, in the eyes of the insurance company, I will have 6 as they have their 5 year rule for driving offences!
Not really sure what to do? Any advice is great fully received.
The most annoying thing is we remember having a discussion when we saw the speed camera van, but can’t recall who was driving then, plus we were definitely not speeding at the time: adaptive cruise control with sign reader activated in the car and alerts if we go over speed limit! (We don’t have the time to contest it in court, so that’s not an option.)
