Sideshow Bob Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 How many of you noticed the speed camera van parked behind the big motorway sign , as you exited the car-parks from the Autosport show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Keene Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'm not sure their speed camera vans... I think they are using the Automatic Number Recognition system to check for stolen cars, tax, etc. They have been around and about in Peterborough for a while and are *always* accompained by 1 or 2 marked cars further up the road for pulling people up with. (waits to be corrected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Bob Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah , I work with a Hobby Bobby who told me the that it is used for registration I.D. and also as a speed camera van if they feel like it , and yes , there was a Plod on a Motorbike waiting up the road.

neilwillis Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 You're such a cynic Blatters! Though of course it is VX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffythefirst Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 actually it's a Lotus The clocks look just like my cavalier though, although the speed may be a little optomistic for my loverly 1.8i Scruffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Are we still on the subject of speeding ? As I've been done three times all motorways, M6-88mph plain plod car, M18-93mph plain plod car and M4-87mph mobile camera on bridge. I have just been notified of an intention to prosecute 38 days after the alleged offence, has anyone had experience of challenging them as they have not issued within 14 days as it states they should in the Road Traffic Act. All comments will be gratefully received. PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Here under 'Avoid that Ticket' it says If you were caught on a Camera. The police MUST send you a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days. If they do not, the case is a nonstarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 However, I believe the relevant date may well be the date on the NIP, not the date it arrived, although I'll stand to be corrected....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Thanks Stuart thats what I thought and to Blatman the NIP states that the alleged offence was 5/12/03 and is dated by them 8/01/04, it looks like no contest, but I will let you know.

mark.anson Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Blatters is right. They have to issue it within 14 days,so saying it was lost in the post,you were on holiday on the moon etc wont work.ie your goosed. You can ask for advanced disclosure, ie ask for the picture to be sent to you, or a copy of the bobbys statement if it wasnt a camera, but this is really only delaying the inevitable.You can always elect to be dealt with by a court but they will only sting you for costs on top of the fine if your convicted.............which you will be.
