    Please make sure you write for the photos now!
    Always keep in mind the timescale for returning the NIP naming the driver, some forces will send a reminder but not all so it's best not to let it run over time allowed.

    I am not sure if I am missing something but it seems the OP's husband has some very serious charges against him, not just a red light issue.

    I think you really need to speak to your husband to find out what happened. It sounds more like a cop was watching him.

    He hasn't actually been charged with anything yet as they don't know who was driving!

    For it to stick, I hear/read somewhere that it had to be the word of two Police Officers who actually witnessed the incident?

    But if they witnessed surely they would have stopped him?

    One would have thought so - it would be unusual for 'em to let him just carry on (they might miss an opportunity to clear up some more 'crimes' like a bulb out, etc)

    Who knows until you get the answer from the police?

    My boyfriend (still my bf not my husband yet ;)) has been emailing me and literally cannot remember, though he says he would remember. I would back this up, he is a safe driver and usually drives too slow rather than too fast!

    This is what he said about thinking back to that day;

    1: There aren't any traffic light cameras there:
    2: I vaguely remember ***annoying*** someone off round about there, maybe driving too slow for them??


    I'm really worried he is going to loose his licence, were planning to move next month and i dunno weather just to move closer to his work for safety. :(

    What kind of turn around is it? If we post it tomorrow probably best phoning in a week i guess and seeing what they are doing and if it got there.

    Sorry m'dear but I don't know. I've never been in your particular situation. One would hope they're quick (as they're very quick to set time limits), but I'm guessing.
