They're supposed to send a NIP (Notice of Intention to Prosecute) within 14 days, which asks who was driving. If it hasn't turned up now, you're probably ok.
Before Christmas I sped through a speed camera and got caught (stationary camera that flashed) funnily enough it was in the cage while I wasn't paying attention, not on the mighty fazer which I am probably more likely to speed on. As I've never been flashed before I was wondering if people know how long it usually takes to receive the fine/points in the post as I've heard nothing yet.
tbh you probably " learned" more by not getting caught than being done...when you will feel aggrieved and want to get yer own back on the system! I got let off a silly speeding offence ( cruising over limit in a 40)many yrs ago, and paid so much more attention in the future...its whats so wrong with this " automatic" speed fines. No discretion, no opportunity to improve drivers by face to face talking.No room for error...sure use a blunt stick for th eidiots, but marginal overages aint always that big an issue, depending on traffic conditions...

Steve, think 10%+2 was the recommendation from the acpo? AFAIK, its still the case? Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
The usual criteria In Lancs for prosecution used to be 10% +2 over the limit. Not sure if its changed with the new system.

Not sure if its changed with the new system.This is what I always thought, but my dad got caught a couple of years ago (albeit in Cornwall / Devon) and went on the course where they said it is 10% + 1Realistically its not a huge difference, especially at higher speeds, but just something to be aware of
