Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi All

So after many years of 0 points I seem to have screwed up badly. I think I had the wrong speed limit in mind, looking at the numbers - but it was a complicated day and my mind was distracted to say the least

Not much more to say except please if you could have a look and advise that would be very very much appreciated

You have to name the driver (which I'm taking is yourself) regardless of any other matter, or you commit a six-point offence that comes with a large fine.

If you accept the speed measurement is correct, then unless you take issue with the signage a fixed penalty and 3 points is the best you can hope for. Pleading not guilty and losing at trial could cost the better part of £1,000 if not more.

Thank you, yes I will be naming the driver and sending it back tomorrow - no question there. I guess I was checking if everything is in order here as I would not be doing anywhere near that much over the limit knowingly over that much distance. But as mentioned it is possible I misread the whole thing. It was a 250+ mile day so I don't recall the instance

Thanks for your response.

I have sent the response to name the driver. I will also have a look at Google Maps and try to plot my route to see if theer are signage issues

Are there any known discrepancies or key things to look for?

regards

The photo shows you passing a repeater sign, the relevant terminal sign depends on where you joined Western Avenue, but if it was at the Chiswick Roundabout it is HERE

I have received the attached Conditional Offer

Redacted and attached, will hold off responding for a couple of days in case any of you have any inputs

Thanks in advance

Hi Andy

Are you asking why I have attached the COFP? If that is the case, it is simply a checkpoint for the eyes of those who know more than me. I cannot pre empt what I dont know

Also I have no intention of getting anywhere close to the deadline of furnishing the details, but also I see no harm in getting more eyes on it

regards

The first post was the NIP after which I responded with identifying the driver. At that point I had no idea what the offer was, just the nature of contravention

Today's post was after receiving the COFP, so a material document came through my door with the offer of 3 points and a fine

I understand if you feel there is nothing to be gained from this but updating the details of a new document having arrived... I disagree that is bumping the thread

Thanks for your time though

Thank you, I understand the point now.

I think I will take this one on the chin, I think it could have been worse given the alleged speed

I will take one last look at the signage and send the doc back

Thanks all
