Speeding Ticket

Post by r2uzenblot » Mon Feb 14, 2022 11:41 pm

I had a friend who passed a parked police car at some speed on the M5. Sure enough a few miles down the road he got pulled over. When asked by the Police Officer what he thought he was doing when he passed them he replied 'Braking heavily'. Luckily the officer had a sense of humour and let him off!

Where's that from?
I've been driving at the +10% limit for years without problems (so far) - is that no longer the principle that's worked to?

The Association of Chief Police Officers recommend not to give a ticket as long as you are less than 10% plus 2 MPH above the limit. Three factors can change this
1. If you are lippy
2. If you drive for a very long time (whatever that means) with what is clearly a police car behind you and do not slow down
3. if you happen to drive in Dorset, Durham, Hampshire, Humberside, Wiltshire, the Metropolitan Police and City of London, as they haven't signed up to the guidelines

As above, the 10% + 2mph is only a recommendation, to allow for discrepancies in speedometers which are a lot more accurate these days. Technically +1MPH is illegal

Well I no longer frequent any of those, so that's ok for me. What about North Wales, are they signed up? They have a reputation...

As for points 1 and 2 - those people deserve to get done.

receiving a speeding ticket can be an unfortunate and frustrating experience. It is important to take the necessary steps to address the ticket promptly and consider the potential consequences, such as fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance premiums.

Review the details of the ticket carefully and consider any evidence that could support your case. Depending on the specific circumstances, you may want to consider hiring a traffic attorney to represent you in court or negotiating a plea deal with the prosecutor.

I was driving near Hastings last week and it was crazy busy bank holiday Monday with motorbikes everywhere as some event on yearly, anyway I went into a village with a temporary 20 mph limit I slowed down and could see the camara van and I crept up to 22mph so I’m waiting and wondering and hoping I didn’t go higher than 22 …think they have 14 days to issue ticket

Look up Notice of intended prosecution and you will find all the rules.

You should be OK as most speed cameras allow for error and allow 10% plus 2mph. Not always but most do.
