topdog Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have just got a notice from the police as I was "flashed" by a speed camera a week ago.. first time this has happened to me..was doing 36mph in a 30mph area. I was very upset and went for a drive late at night, wasn't really "with it" (but sober!!) didn't know the area at all and it was 1am..and before anyone starts moralising, no it's not an excuse, I know I did it and am not proud of it. But how much could I expect to pay? It's a bit embarrassing, so don't want to ask anyone I know - can't really afford to pay too much, and wouldn't want to have the shock of my life when I find out how much it is. Can anyone help?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraSteve Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 ^^ Yep, £60 and 3 points. It could be more severe (all the way up to huge fine & driving ban) if the amount you were over the speed limit were more, but 36 in a 30 is quite a 'typical' speeding offence, so 'typically' attracts this minimum penalty.

raganoonande Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 My brother got a speeding fine about 2 years ago. He was doing 43mph in a 30mph zone. It was 12:30am, there wasn't anyone about, except for some police with a speed gun. He got the minimum penalty of £60 and 3 points on his licence.

viking Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 £60, plus 3 points on your licence It is. Iv'e just paid two in the same week. Don't mind speeding tickets, I have obviously done something wrong, unlike GETTING A BAN ON HERE because of some gob- $hyte Chav. VIKE NOTE TO SELF: COULD I PLEASE USE THE CONTACT US FACILITY.

Frazer1974 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If it's any use, I got flashed and never received a ticket. I think sometimes they put the flash in but not the film. In some areas of the country they're inundated with paperwork, so make it flash but don't "do" you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
