How long from camera to conviction

[fatboy18]

A217 Southbound' between Burgh Heath and Tadworth roundabout, went past speed scamera facing other direction, only to be confronted by FN Police scamera van, Braked bloody hard but its probally got me and im pi##ed off, what a great end to the day and the start of my 2 week holiday! Anybody know how long it is before you know for sure youve been caught?

15 days after day of offence I think.

Thanks for the reply Kinky, Im gutted. even though ive got a clean licence at present the ammount of these bloody cameras just totally frustrates me.

No worries - but don't quote me on that - might be best to wait for an expert to come along and confirm.

And yeah - it is a bugger.

I think they have to send you a NIP ( notice of intended prosecution ) within 14 days.

A217 both north and south in Lower Kingswood is a very regular spot, I live just down the road from there, but they are mainly after uninsured and non taxed vehicles so I have been told, keep your fingers crossed.

Sort of...

They are required to serve a Notice of Intended Prosecution on the Registered Keeper (which may not necessarily be the driver) of the vehicle within 14 days of the alleged offence. Note that the date of the alleged crime is not included when computing the 14 days.

Well you are clearly a dangerous man.

What if it wasnt a camera and a toddler had climbed over the 6 foot fences by the dual carriageway and stood in the road?

At 40 they would have an 80% chance of dying. At 30 they would have an 80% chance of living dontchaknow...

Who...?

Without wanting to start a political debate...which party has said it will abolish speed cameras if put into power?

Wonder how popular a party/politician would be if their manifesto included abolishing speed cameras and vans, etc and investing in more policing...?

Not voting labour will only get rid of the t?ats who brought them in in the first place!

Cameras started to appear in the early 90s - however camera parnerships came in under Labout who saw them as the ideal way to progress their 'Spend bugger all on transport' policy.

Even though most people complain about the state of the roads, trains, etc. the subject of transportation is surprisingly low on the average person's list of priorities.

Personally I'll vote for anyone who will sort our transport out without resorting to the oppressive and punitive measures adopted by the current lot in power.
