Been flashed in the Limehouse Link at 1am a few saturdays ago, 51mph in a 30. Not looking for any get out clauses just an idea of likely punishment. Seen on pepipoo that 50 in a 30 is a summons, is this a definate, don't really want to be banned as it would make getting to work that little bit more challenging.

Likjelyh to be a 3 points 60 quid if you're lucky.

How the hell did you let that happen?! It's well known there are average cameras in there.

keep your fingers crossed it doesn't arrive tomorrow

Momentary lapse in concentration, I normally only go westbound but this time I was going eastbound towards Westferry. Are they average speed cameras? I thought they were just normal gatso's

Unfortunately it arrived yesterday, thats how I know the speed.

[falcemob]

Does the NIP say they are going to prosecute the driver or contemplating prosacution?

You may get an offer of speed awarness course if you haven't had been on one or had any points within the last 3 years.

Does the Met do them? Would definately take up the offer if available. Had no points in years but I was banned over 5 years ago for speeding.

[falcemob]

Yep the Met do them, i have just had an offer for one after doing 39 in a 30 in a 32 ton truck.
I think it said on the form that they offer the course to people who have not been on one, or had points within the last 3 years. The thing going against you is your speed but fill the form in and you'll know within a couple of weeks.

Yeah it's the speed i'm worried about, above 50 is court and either 3-6 points or a ban, really want to avoid a ban if at all possible

I think it is wrong. Whoever added them to the RA was confused between average and digital ... However as a matter of habit I never exceed 30mph in the tunnel.

There are 3 sets, either end and one in the middle

I have read in another post that you will get a FPN if you exceed the posted speed limit by 26mph. Is this correct?

[FNG]

No the upper limit for a FPN is 26mph over. Below that can be dealt with by fixed penalty; beyond that it's a guaranteed summons.

You can still get a summons in lieu of a FPN depending on the officer / CPS if they deem it appropriate.

Sorry I got my post muddled up. Your answer is what I actually meant to say. So for doing 51 in a 30, its a FPN or possibly a summons.

[tigger1]

What date is it that the NIP says you committed the crime of doing a (possibly) safe speed at that time of night?

Is it more than 14 days before you received the NIP?

[Dwight VanDriver]

As I understand it doing over 38 in a 30 limit will not qualify for SA Course.

And yes, 35 to 50mph in a 30 will qualify for a Conditional Offer (£60/3 points). Over 50 gets an invite to a magistrates Court.

Just managed to get the Guide lines up after a restore
ACPO states
Rule 2 National Speed Awareness Courses will not be
offered to offenders who were travelling at a
speed greater than 10%+6 above the posted speed
limit.

So as I was doing 51, what do you think my punishment might be?
