Speeding tickets?

[nikkie]

How long would it normally take to get one from a camera?
When I was away last week think I may have been over the limit briefly(missed the speed sign) and it was right next to the camera .If I got caught how long would it take to arrive?

i got done recently and had the ticket within the week. I don't know if it varies between regions though.

some can take upto 4 weeks depending on where you live. Average is 2-3 weeks

the ones round here come pretty quickly

sometimes they flash and have no 'film' (or whatever makes them work) in them it seems

DH got flashed (so to speak) 3 weeks ago, it went to his company who have forwarded it on.. so how much is a speeding ticket these days...

i was told it would be within 2 weeks but obviously differs in regions

Noth Wales if that helps, hope I haven't just got rid of the last ones from 5 years ago , got confused as the speed limit seemed to change every couple of hundred yards.
I feel so guilty

2 weeks i was led to belive is the max they can wait

you may fidn if you were only a small mount over that they dont preoscute

"It is a legal requirement that a Notification of Intended Prosecution should be received by the registered keeper within 14 days of an alleged offence."

info

Apparantly if one ignores their letter (even the very threataning ones) they can't do anything to you as they have to prove it was you driving the vehicle.

Anyone done it or is it a legend?

Thats a myth!!

chai- someone posted here a few months ago that they'd forgotten to respond to an "Intended notice of Prosecution" and wondered if the police would chase it up. From memory, one poster said that her boss, "gets them all the time and just bins them, and no one has chased him up", another said that she got one just as she was about to go to Australia for 2 months or something, and her Dad wrote saying that she'd get in touch when she got back. She never has and no one's contacted her. My guess is that if it's a really high amount over the limit they will chase you up.

a good friend of mine had 4 brothers who all looked similar ish...

1 time around Xmas (they were all back from uni... all PHd students) 1 of them went through a speed camera...

mum (registered owner and keep got the letter)... cause it was such a busy day and they had all driven the car past the speed camera (round the corner from their house) they honestly didnt know who it was at that time...

they got a copy of the picture and couldnt tell from the picture which brother it was that was driving...

mum (a VERY honest woman) was mortified but explained to police she honestly could not say which of her sons it was at that time...

she ignored it and to this day nothing has come of it... so no fine was paid and no brothers had points on their licenese... so yes it prob is true...
Mum (reg owner and keeper) could prove it was not her from photo... but not which son it was!

nanhtl normally the mum woudl have been charged withe h mroe seriosu offence of " failure to proide information as to twhot he driver was" which ahs a fine of 150% of a weeks wage rahter then 50 % fo a nromal speeding one

We had an article in the paper last week about non payments of parking tickets and they claimed one person owed over £8000 pounds.

Slightly different thread perhaps.
