I was with my mate today in his car and she passed camera van at the side of the road today at over the speed limit by a fair bit.
He is a new(ish0 driver 11months and was in a overtaking lane (60mph zone) and was doing 85mph passing a car when she came over the brow of the hill and the van was there. In panic she never really slowed down and passed it doing about 75 but i think they may of got her.
He cant get anymore points or he will get banned (his own fault i know)
When writing a 'my friend did...' post, take more care over your personal pronouns. He is a new(ish0 driver 11months and was in a overtaking lane (60mph zone) and was doing 85mph passing a car when she came over the brow of the hill and the van was there. In panic she never really slowed down and passed it doing about 75 but i think they may of got her.

Ever been to prison? Because this is a straight ticket to jail.

Right i never knew it was that serious tbh.
So i assume that even if i took them (if it wasnt illegal) they would check the video/pic see it was a male then i would get done!
Oh well.
They might, they might not. Do you feel lucky?So i assume that even if i took them (if it wasnt illegal) they would check the video/pic see it was a male then i would get done!
Oh well.
If you're unlucky, you go to jail for perjury and so does your friend.

It was the camera out the rear of the van and we were going towards it - Would that mean it would have his face in the picture or how does it work??
Sorry for sounding stupid.
What's your mates name? I'm intrigued.He is a new(ish0 driver 11months and was in a overtaking lane (60mph zone) and was doing 85mph passing a car when she came over the brow of the hill and the van was there. In panic she never really slowed down and passed it doing about 75 but i think they may of got her.

Are you that desperate for your hole? So i assume that even if i took them (if it wasnt illegal) they would check the video/pic see it was a male then i would get done!
Oh well.
In the end its you that will be left with the penalty for her stupidity. Like a few have said, if you end up with more points in the future will anyone take themn for you?

You can request a photo when they send documents through to the registered keeper. I believe there's an option to say you aren't sure who is driving.
Taking points for someone is illegal, not really crime of the century but if they do find out I would expect a decent fine, also if you happen to pick up a couple of points by yourself you could be in a situation.
Taking points does happen though, i have been asked a couple of times to take them for others, naturally I've refused but I do know someone who is on 9 points, his mrs is also on 9 points but hardly drives.

This is where you are sorely mistaken - because it is taken as PCOJ and you are pretty much going to get a prison sentence if convicted. In fact, I'd say with 99% certainty that it would be jail. Bear in mind that PCOJ can lead to 7 years jail i.e. crown court time, not just a mags slap on the wrist and fine.PCOJ is far, far worse than speeding in the eyes of the law.
