Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: 3 x Single Justice Procedure notices
« on: Yesterday at 10:25:36 pm »
Thank you for taking the time to respond and advise about the 14 day limit.

In answer to that enquiries:

1. He was offered 3 points for each offence (and a safety awareness course was taken to negate the 4th speeding offence).

2. Both : he did not notice the speed changes and the notices kept moving. (He noticed the movement after he was made aware of the offences as he kept an intentional look out).

He was only made aware of the offences once the redirected notices were received - by this time, the road layout had changed again so he was unable to take any pictorial evidence of the road relevant to the offences.

3. The SJNP paperwork includes pictures of his van with notification of date, time, travelling speed and location code for the offence.    There is also a separate “offence wording”  detailing date, location,speed limit and speed he was travelling.

4. Thought this may be advisable as I have heard occasionally cameras have discrepancies on calibration and location number.

Speeding and other criminal offences / 3 x Single Justice Procedure notices

Hello,

I am making an enquiry for a friend and would be grateful for any advice.

Whilst undertaking his employment as a courier, my friend has received 3 speeding notices resulting in 3 single justice procedure notices (S172 camera detected offences) for speeding: travelling at speeds of 58, 60 and 63 in what is usually a 70 mile zone, but which had temporarily reduced to 50 miles due to roadworks.  The speed reduced to 50, then increased to 70, then reduced back to 50 and increased again to 70 between junctions 9 to 11 on the M27.

The speed change signage was not clearly displayed and kept moving, thus my friend did not realise there were new speed restrictions in force.

There is no static camera on this stretch of road and presumably it was a mobile camera that captured the images.
(I don’t know if this is relevant : though there was equipment, no road workers were seen undertaking roadworks).

A 4th speeding offence on the same stretch of road was negated by taking a safety awareness course. The 4 offences occurred within approx 2.5 weeks on the same stretch of road.

My friend is potentially facing 9 points to his driving license, jeopardising his job as a courier and invalidating his specialist courier insurances necessary to undertake the job.

I am unsure if this is relevant: he only received the initial notifications of the speeding offences well after the 14 day timeframe stipulated had expired as the initial notifications went to the van hire company address and subsequently had to be redirected to his home address by the authorities. (He was renting a van for work purposes).

We will be contacting Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary for camera calibration details.

The deadline for reply to the single justice procedure notices is imminent and we would really appreciate any guidance.


Thank you
