I've already posted asking for possible ideas of points and prizes on this and it was mentioned that I may just be on the right side of 3 points rather than 3-6. Would this be correct ?
I think its a well known site where the road climbs over the brow of a hill and hits a very long downhill stretch. The camera van is conveniently located right at the bottom with a good view up the hill.
I'm a little worried as its my first set of points and wonder what the impact will be on insurance etc.

And another quick question....do I give them the reference or state the road, location, date and approximate time. ie A48 Foelgastell, 24th between 10am and 11am ?

Erm puggit..... Forgive my ignorance on this one but is the 24 days from the date of the alleged offence or from the date on the cover letter accompanying the NIP ?

Very safe piece of road....perfect visibility all the way down..long sweeping corners..not even a junction. Was wondering why the cars were all queued up on the left as I started decending the hill...then clocked the van and braked to about 75-80. Evidently too late.

Quick recap. there are two dates on the NIP, the date of 'incident' and the date of the NIP letter. I presume its the latter that I have 28 days from. Sorry to be so pedantic with this puggit.

Oh yeah .. And one last thing

If I ask for evidence.....do I still need to have the NIP signed within 28 days or do they have to supply evidence and then give me a reasonable extension to the 28 days to send back the NIP ?
