Speeding fine - what happens next?

carlsberg777

I got caught speeding and was unable to send te letter off and now unable to find it to do so. i was just wondering what would happen next if i would straight away get the thousand pound fine or another letter? thankyou for your help x

banger9365

court summons for S.172 unable to identify the driver( 6 points and a fine,court costs ect too)
or you mite be lucky and get a reminder after 28 days
and if your really unlucky the speeding fine and points too
not a good idea to lose the NIP
all with in the next 6 months and 28days from the date of the first offence(unless you live near hull and then i can take longer to get to you)

ring then or send a letter asking for a duplicate nipp ,if you have really lost it

6 months and 28days means 6month to lay the paper in court and 28days for you to get the sumons

Do not do anything illegal and you have nothing to worry about. If you didn't learn when getting all the other points, clearly you don't deserve to be on the road. Driving is a privelige, not a right. You must obey the rules of the road. Buy yourself a copy of the highway code, it's only £2.50 and if you do everything it says nothing will ever happen to your license!

I would appreciate it if you would keep your sanctimonious lecturing for the next convention of https://www.brake.org.uk

The poster asked a pefectly factual question to which the answer is that the points don't count towards totting up 3 years after the dafe of the offence.

Given the level of camera saturation of the UK's roads I personally think anyone driving 30,000 to 40,000 miles per years is now doing miraculously well if they manage to avoid being disqualified through totting up sooner or later. And before your next gambit no I do not accept that most speed limits are sensibly set and I believe the Police should put most of their effort in to dealing with people who drive dangerously by tailgating or rushing out of side roads without looking at slow speeds in to the path of oncoming traffic. These are the people who really need to have their driving habits changed.

Parking fines seem to do a pretty good job of deterring people from parking illegally on double yellow lines etc and the current points system for speeding is very arbitrary and unfair to those who drive very high mileages on the roads.

Answering the mans question would be a lot better than soap boxing and pontificating.
Or will it be you that casts the first stone, Mr perfect?

Indeed, another old thread.:D

It is unfortunate how these threads get resurrected, a waste of effort for all and usually instigatedby a newbie searching for something and not realising the timescale. Maybe the search jobby should be "date selective"??

I had a fine the other week when I was caught by a police car with a mobile camera. It is hidden behind a derelect building and as far as I can see there are no signs on the side I was drivging to say what the speed limit is. My work collegue was caught in the same place and it feels like it is purely a money making thing. The camera is behind the building and not far from a bend. Can I contest this? I have not been given the option to go on speed awareness but have to pay £60 and get 3 pts
