Speeding Ticket
K9Jim:
speeding is an offence but not a criminal offence.
a NIP or notice of intended prosecution does not mean that you WILL be prosecuted, they are informing you that they MAY do.
remember your speedo can be upto 10% out either way as allowed by law. most convictions are based on ; taking the speed limit, so 30mph plus 10% plus 2mph. so that gives you 35mph! anything over and its speeding.
NOT signing the NIP can be classed as obstruct police, a criminal offence :shock:
not all built up and lit areas are 30mph. take a look at the road where it happened, is it clearly marked 30mph, if not are there repeater signs, was it a static or mobile camera, are there signs warning of speed cameras etc etc .
hope some of this helps mate and good luck

I don't know about this.
It is a very informative site and will need a few visits to absorb the wealth of information on there,Thank you for pointing me in that direction.
I know the simple and easiest solution is to pay up & shut up,because thats the british thing to do,accept the consequences and be mindful never to repeat again.
But if there is a small chance,It is my right to go for it and hope that I get the result I want.

speed seminar is now called a speed awareness course.you pay £95 and spend a full day listening to some council worker lecture you on how excess speed kills.you watch a video of people being run over and other shock tactics.then after the free sarnies and pot of tea they take you out with a driving instructer.one peson drives and then others comment on you speed and how your a bad driver.
you must show an improvement in your attitude and driving style.they then give you a cert that says you'r aggressive,impatiant etc and let you go home.no points on liecence,no £60 fine.
i asked to do the coarse as i didn't fancy the increase of insurance.you can only do 1 coarse every 3years.tip for general driving only do 9mph over the limit as 10+ does make a difference to their attitude!
oh yeah doing a big dirty burn out on leaving the speed awareness coarse doesn't go down too well,but does make you feel better! :wink:
