Can anyone advise how best to avoid getting points for inadvertent speeding? NIP suggests I was doing 44mph in a 30 zone (camera is just past the speed limit sign).

First of all don't tell them it was inadvertent - that's no excuse.

Well my friend, 44mph in a 30 limit is hardly inadvertant, is it? I think you will have to take this on the chin and learn from it ....... remember the advert on the telly that shows just how much safer you are at 30 than at 40 ...... and you did spot the speed limit sign so your speed should have been appropriate and not in the 40's ........... we all hate speed cameras but they do have a use ....... and as a result I do drive a lot slower in restricted areas because I really value my many years of safe and clean licence driving !.

I don't think 'inadvertant speeding' is considered any less bad than intentional speeding. Best way to avoid points os to make sure you're doing the correct speed. Cameras are just past signs to ensure that you have slowed down! Bad luck thouhg, I got stopped by police doing 85 on the moterway for driving erratically! I got charged for nothing!

Visit www.pepipoo.com.
If there is a LEGAL way - these guys can help. They WILL NOT help you to break the law or advise you to lie - that can get you sent to jail!!
The Forum can advise of the legality & validity of the NIP, time-outs etc.
As a side note - ALL speedometers 'over-read' (by LAW) so it was probably reading around 48 or 49mph when you were zapped. No excuse really. £60 + 3 points, OR you might be able to drag it out with a 'section 172' if you don't reply, but you'll get slapped with "failure to provide details", but if you fail in this venture... big(ish) court costs & possible "perverting course of justice".

What the heck is "inadvertent speeding?" Does that mean, "If I knew there was a camera watching me I would have slowed down?" How does it differ from any other kind of speeding? Pay your fine, take your points, and drive a lot more cautiously. And don't whine.

In UK?
try this site.... dont mess with excuses

I havent used it but they are using case law to help your case. As far as I can work out the form that comes with the speeding fine has to inform you that by filling it in you may incriminate yourself. Apparently, it doesnt say this, it just asks for the drivers details.
This has been challenged as it is all to do with our rights in criminal cases. The Police cant ask you to give information and then use that info to prosecute you without explaining that they can do this.
I read the whole site! Im not a lawyer but the site did make sence.
Or you could just hold your hands up and say "fair cop" you will get 3 pts and 60 quid fine.

There is no such thing as "inadvertent" speeding. You have control of your car. You know how to use the gas pedal and brakes to control its speed.
If your state has an optional driver education course to get out of a ticket, you should take the course and be more careful in the future.

should not of been speeding you piece of scum.. you should be put of the road.. there is no place in society for speeding motorists...Any person who cant understand a big fu(king sign with 30 written on it does not deserve a place on the road, Driving is a privilege not a right... speeding is not big and very silly, (only Doing 44) is not an excuse...You are scum...What if somebody you love like your mother/farther or your kids get a bang of a car doin 44 in a 30 zone, how the fu(k would you like that..Not very im sure you piece of sh1t..

I got done at 43 in a 30 and I got a fine and points. There isn't alot you can do to get out of it really - if the car is registered to you and nobody else is prepared to take responsibility for the offence then it can only go on your licence.

I guess it depends on what state your in...I'm in NJ...all you do is plead not guilty, go to court, and make sure you talk to the prosecutor to drop it down so you just get a charge and no points...I've had 3 speeding tickets and only one time i got 2 points on my license because i was going 20mph over. The others i just paid around $125.
Hope this helps, Good luck!

Do the following: I was told this by a copper that when you receive the first notification from the police in regard of your speeding, Ignore it. They catch so many motorists, that it is a headace to chase all incidents up. However, If you receive a reminder, then you must pay it then. Hope you have success.....
