Getting ridiculous now driving in london, why dont we just go back to horses and carts. Anyway...

Probably banged to rights but i thought i would put it up for your eyes to peruse for errors and have a little rant.

I was picking up my Daughter and last time i did so they had put up LTN's on all the side roads where i would cut through to get to her to avoid the bottle neck at Brixton, so this time i went in from the top of Brixton and have not done this before so i was looking for her block of flats whilst checking i wasnt contrevening another newly invented restriction and checking whether i was allowed to traverse the bus lane or not and etc etc etc, yes i was doing over 20 clearly, under 30 until i spotted the speed limit was now 20 on a main artery, i dont even know where the camera was that got me but i am pretty sure when i spotted it it would have been then i would have possibly noticed the speed limit.

Dont think ill get off with this one but you never know.

Cheers and happy driving out there.

Got offered one before and ill tell them exactly the same as i did last time.. poke it up your bum, ill take the points and good luck writing it onto my paper license lol, which looks like a map thats been rolled up in Sinbads pocket.

Points all go onto an electronic driver’s record anyway, so I doubt such a reply will cause the police any concern.

For me, driving is an occupational hazzard, possibly things might have changed since i last got a NIP, the last one where i was offered the course was nearly twenty years ago if i recall correctly, i rarely get caught and the difference to my premium with and without the points was £11 and the course was held in Hendon and cost was £200, i live in Surrey so was never going to happen.

I am guessing that there are no avenues of appeal or reps available to NIP's ?

You cannot appeal a NIP. It is simply a notice. If you want to challenge the allegation you will have to decline or ignore any out of court offers and see the matter heard in court.

i cant see any large roundals on the road from the picture,

Well none are required anyway.
Plus had you exited a road with an existing 20 limit then no terminal signs would be needed either.

Oh well, thats the door closed on that one, lets see whats offered..if

So you can tell them - in your own words - to "poke it up your bum"?

Or was that just false bravado?

If you're offered a course, take it.

Yes, exactly what i am going to do, tell them to poke it up thier bum, theres like £8 difference cost between the course and the fine, ill take the points and not lose three hours of my life being droned on at about doing 26 in in a now 20mph major A road, these 20MPH zones, LTN's and the like are a farse, driven by cyclists with clip boards who contribute zero to poy for all the stupid ill placed bike lanes.

Actually, i wonder if the mamil's will abide by the highway code of not overtaking on the left now they can actually go faster than a car is allowed to.

anyway... so im not tasking the course, do i need to do anything, it seems that i just ignore the course and then they will send out the fine ? going forward ill keep the sat nav on that will warn me of 20mph zones and where the cameras are.

I wouldn't rely on it.
