Dodgy speed camera?

[Donkmeister]

Are you able to purchase the picture in a variety of frames,sizes and finishes?

If it's anything like my other half's graduation photos the other week, the speeding fine would be cheaper!

ninebob, you probably aren't the only one who's been "caught" by this malfunctioning camera, so even if they do send you a ticket there will be enough people contesting their tickets for the same reason. Can't hurt to contact your local cop-shop, they'll probably know it's on the blink already.

Speeding or not, if you haven't heard anything within 14 days you should be ok. Clicky http://www.pepipoo.com/NIP.htm

A Notice of Intended Prosecution, referred to as a NIP, has to be sent to the Registered Keeper within 28 days of the offence. Then you can breathe easy.

The NIP must be sent to the registered keeper within 14 days. If the driver is the registered keeper and an NIP hasn't been sent within 14 days then it's game over for the prosecution.

I've often wondered about these lines on the road? We have two cameras on the road right outside our office. They are both the yellow box on a blue stick type and there are white gridlines on the road. However, the cameras are pointing AWAY from the lines so the lines are behind the camera?? Never understood why these lines were there and if they are actually used by the camera -does this mean that maybe these are dummy cameras? I've not heard of anyone getting caught by them - but having said that they are on a hill and just after a sharp bend in the road so i doubt people would normally be doing more than 40 anyway!

Just spoken to a serving Black Rat, (Traffic Officer). The 28 day rule was reduced to 14 days with an amendment to the relevent section of the act due to the fact that so many people are receiving speeding tickets so often a lot were saying they could not remember who was driving. The Government decided that everyone must be able to remember within 14 days - hence the change.

My apologies to Blondini and the OP.

I checked my Reg, and low and behold,I've got one in the system.

How did you do that Steve?

Ring the local relevent dept up or is there a web page for it?

 

[blondini]

Toptec. I always used to say if you want to know the time, don't ask a Policeman But I might change that to Traffic Officer

Just to confirm it may have flashed due to a car coming the other way. Sometimes buses make them go off as they have a traffic management device in them that can sometimes conflict with cameras.

Most gatso's now have a small HD instead of 'film'

They take your pic in High Def these days!

I was told, ages ago, that the cameras flash once and take a photo at random intervals, just to check that the system was working properly. Think how much money would be lost if the camera stopped working due to a fault.

 

[big-all]

Wont take a chance though, never know which ones are the money making machines.

shall we all just egnore the laws that we dont like

 

[tim west]

Sounds a good idea, I'll like to ignore the law that says I have to pay tax
