Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: NIP red light A240

Agree with the above, the blue car clearly moved over the stop line when the lights were on red.

Name the driver and let them take what they are offered.

Almost certainly the camera is showing a GMT time. Wouldn’t want to fight it on that basis.

Naming the driver needs to happen regardless.

Looks to me like you passed the stop line when the lights were on red (bottom left image vs bottom right), so not sure why you think you were stationary?

Looks like a slam dunk for the police to me. Take whatever is offered.

Be aware, the image you have been sent might not be at the point the "ping" was done. It is possible the ping was a number of seconds prior to the image supplied. This would only become apparent if the actual video was viewed, the police will not release that prior to the matter proceeding to court.

Threads are (almost never) deleted, they might be useful reference in the future.

They say "exceed 30MPH on a restricted road" clearly indicates the limit at the time. Stating the limit is even required, so no wiggle room there.

Just too fast for a speed awareness course, but I assume you did one anyway last year for your 35 in 30 incident? So it will be a £100 fine plus 3 points.

Clearly there was a camera, else you wouldn't have ended up here!

Checking on Google Streetview, I can see several 50MPH repeater signs on this stretch (as of 2024). So your powers of observation may not be infallible.

Assuming you haven't done a speed awareness course in th4 last 3 years, one of the offences should see this offer. The other will should see a £100 and 3 point fixed penalty.

Your thinking is correct, This is a very common situation and the courts are very willing to do this deal. Does the V5C document have the correct address?

First you have to name yourself as the driver, the paperwork you have received will tell you how to do that. Then you have to wait until they make an offer of a speed awareness course or a fixed penalty.

At that speed you should be offered a speed awareness course, assuming the offence is in England/Wales and you haven't previously done one in the last three years. You licence will remain clean.

Unless you have evidence that the detected speed is wrong or that the speed limit was not indicated sufficiently, you probably have little wiggle room.

This is a criminal matter, just holding up your hands and saying you know you are committing an offence doesn't give you any immunity from prosecution.

You had plenty of time to have the battery replaced and moved the vehicle. Suggest you plead guilty as nothing you have said is going to form any part of a defence.

What does "I relied on incorrect DVLA guidance regarding SORN" actually mean?

14
Not really, the limits for offering a fixed penalty are strictly adhered to, so any speed in a 20 that is over 34 will proceed to court (via a Single Justice Procedure Notice).

Not much you can do. You must name the driver, otherwise the penalty would be much worse. That speed will see an offer of a speed awareness course in lieu of points and a fine.
