I have recently been caught speeding doing 58mph in 50mph zone. Help Me?

Question

I was caught between the two cameras that I assume time you between to set points.

Unfortunalety I am a company car driver and my company has admitted that it was me who was driving. I have heard that trigger point for these camers is speed limit + 10% + 3mph.

Any advise would be gratfully recieved.

Jimporary and others - this is the first time I have been caught in 15 years, so get of your high horses and kiss those ten points good bye. I am not blaming my company either as they have duty to record who is driving the vehicle. I was asking for advice not a lecture,,, and to be honest SLOW DOWN is advice its being a smart ar.se

Answer 1

If you want to be illegal but non the less prepared, you need to do the following. Before you are given the points apply for a duplicate licence from the DVLA, tell them it has been destroyed. When you get the points from the court send the duplicate licence back to the DVLA and then use the original licence when you go for a job or need to insure your car or hire a car.
Be warned if you are caught your will receive a large fine and points.

Answer 2

Help you? How?
Most of us just pay up if we are caught 8 miles per hour over the limit. It's the law. I paid up my £60 and lost my 3 points without a quibble when I was "radared" at night doing 57mph on an empty motorway, where there happened to be a 50mph restriction because of road works during the day. But I was metaphorically kicking myself. Do I detect that you're complaining because your company told the truth, when asked? What else should they do? You should be kicking yourself, not them.

Answer 3

while you're provided a fastened penalty determination you're probably superb to take this determination, as your licence would be counseled with the minimum style of penalty factors (3) and the superb (at present £60) is probably to be under that imposed by ability of the courtroom. there'll additionally be no courtroom expenses. in case you visit courtroom and are got here upon responsible of between 40-one & 50mph in a 30 they are going to award you 4 - 6 factors plus usually a amazing equivalent on your weekly income (min £one hundred), plus courtroom expenses.

Answer 4

If you want it reduced you can take it to an attorney that does speeding tickets. Most of them do.

You will pay the fine amount + a fee for their trouble. Your ticket will be reduced to a non moving violation and no points off.

OH ya.......Slow Down..... :-) 8 miles over, geez...
If you want to fight it you can ask the court to prove the calibration of the equipment and that it is regularly serviced. Think about it. If it is out of calibration it can't read right.....And yes they are annually or bi-annually NIST calibrated. That is a certification system.

Answer 5

the police give a 10% deflection on your speedo i am not sure about speed cameras but i suspect it will be the same you might have got away with speeding at 55 mph but anything over that i am afraid you getting 3 points and a£60 fine

Answer 6

Sorry mate, Your company has a legal obligation to name you.
8mph over is a fair cop.My advice buy a road angel as you licence is well worth the price of a speed detector. i brought on 2 years ago and have been saved several times.

Answer 7

ok so u got a company car,there a various ways around it,afterall you aint talking about doing a ton on the roads,was you going downhill at the time,even if slight,{go on then lol}did you have the extras in the back to weigh you down ....wink wink,look u will probably get all or both,check it out with your brief,good luck,either that or cough up 4 the next police ball

Answer 8

"trigger point for these camers is speed limit + 10% + 3mph" It's true, there is a speed camera in a 50mph zone near me I do 55mph all the time it doesn't trigger, also I do 33mph in 30mph zones - doesn't trigger.

Answer 9

have you actually had a ticket thru the post? if not you might be lucky yet, if you have then 3 points +£60 fine. Apparantly the average person in Briain has nine points on there license, so your doin ok.

Answer 10

i think you mean average speed traps? they are set at only 3mph above the limit not 10% or 7% like the other single ones. they set them so low because they know people will always push the 10% limit.
