Haven't read the Magna Carta recently, but I'm going to take a leap and say that it does not contain a definition of "driver" for the purposes of s. 172 RTA 1988, s. 89 RTRA 1984, or at all.
In June 2024 I received a notice informing me I was going to receive 6 points (speeding), the first camera flashed me and not even 50m after I got flashed again.Just to be completely sure were these two within the same journey? Detected speeding twice only 50m apart but still treated as two offences. Presumably "m" is metres, not miles.
3 - I have just exchanged contracts on first home and will complete it next week, so due to moving in two weeks, what is the best action to take with my licence and also with the police? Do you notify them if I have not had any tickets?Once you have access to the new place, set up redirection on your address as well going through changing your address on everything.
Thanks for the replies. I didn't see the signs, they were just off a heavily congested roundabout. They were 75cm at the time, I have some photographic and video evidence of this.Let's see the photos.
If the force are denying the existence of footage how can they use it to prosecute the aledged offence? Would a magistrate care if footage the force exhibited footage they had stated didn't exist?I don't think they should use evidence that's not been disclosed. But they don't need video anyway, the evidence can be statements from the police officers.
On August 15, I was caught driving 26 MPH in a 20 MPH speed limit. Received NIP in early September. Charges were contrary sections 84 and 89(1) of RTRA 1984, and Schedule 2 of RTOA 1988.Did you receive two things? The NIP/Request for driver details. Then a separate Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty sent only after driver details had been received.
Completed sections 1, 2, and 5 of NIP and returned to CPS by mail. Provided driving licence details. Licence was a standard UK one, issued by DVLA, so did not send licence or copy as instructed in NIP. Paid fine online (acdp.met.police.uk). Didn't hear anything so assumed that was sorted and should drive more responsibly.
Even more important is what if after the stop line, there are no traffic lights after the junction, How is one to know if the lights have changed?If you're past the stop line, does it matter?
..Yes you need to do so even if the NIP was served out of time.
Do i need to respond to the NIP confirming i was the driver at the time of offence?
...
ThanksDo those relate specifically to your address or your area? The plural "MPs" makes it look as if they are more general concerns.
In terms of applying law to facts, if I can present issues with Royal Mail services (evidenced by Citizens Advice Bureau, MPs calling for improved services, reviews of failings from Ofcom etc), is there an idea on how this would be viewed by the court as a defence?
I was driving a standard size van and as far as I am aware the speed limit for those is the same as cars?Not relevant for this case but it would be worth your while checking this for the future. I'm not sure what you mean by "standard size" but Transits and similar have lower limits than cars.
so you're not without a car, is it of a similar class ie not given you a Fiat 500 in place of your Range Rover or estate that is a necessity?Functionally similar. It's a Hyundai somthing, very much smaller than say a Fiesta. So a partial replacement that can't be used for some journeys that we would have made in the Focus.
