well i got the other letter last week, and requested photo and they sent me this one today.

I dont think they have to say in any number of days i dont think.

to be honest though, i was speeding at the end of the day so i might aswell accept the punishment. Would be better if i could pay it off in installments tho i cant afford it all at once, i dont have a job at the moment :(

So it is total BS that the old black-and-silver number plates offer some immunity from the cameras....
That is pretty damn clear I must say!

Definately one to frame!

mine are black with raised white letters. My black ones with mirrored letters were really hard to photograph. Maybe worth the investment :)

hold on, i thought the acceptable excess speed you can drive was 10%of the limit + 3mph, to accomodate for uncalibrated cameras, and speedo inaccuracies.

so 36 in a 30
and 47 in a 40 etc

until you breach that i thought you couldnt be done? might be worth looking into dude.

Yes 10% of 30 is 33 and that was exceeded by 3 so fair enough. Still a bit tight if you ask me though.

Working up the BHP ladder.

Damn shame, got caught myself few months ago :(

Question: If 10% is given for speedo inacurracies (as i believe it is) surely the Speedo should be checked at MOT? If police consider excess of 10% to be 'dangerous', surely the vehicle is not road worthy?

Hence all fines should be paid by Ministry of Transport *tongue*

Near Daventry, midlands

its limit +10% +a variable amount depending on the guidelines for that region. Indeed some areas do add 3mph extra, some dont.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

I was done for 35 in a 30 by a tallivan in Wrexham.

Have a look here for the law regarding the time limits on letting you know http://www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/R...age/The_Law.htm
