Mislaid s172 offer
« on: »
I got caught on a speed camera back in January just outside East Grinstead, 36 in a 30 driving a bus. My employer quickly passed the matter over to me with a s172 notice. I filled that in and sent it back admitting I was driving. The ticket office sent me the form to pay up which i have mislaid! I don't remember keeping a copy, but trying to get it paid before the deadline which is probably this week. I can't find any contact details for the Sussex police speeding ticket office.

What's my best line of approach? I've looked onine but no hone number, and the online form needs the reference number which I don't have.
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

Thanks for that Andy. In the 53 years I've been bus driving, it's the first time i've been nicked fr speeding in a bus.

On the A22 going out of East Grinstead the road is uphill, then dips slightly. With a full load of passengers, with it tipping down with rain,force 8 gale, the camera is about 100m beyond the brow of the hill. My time was better spent trying to see where the road was than looking at the speedometer. It was also close to midnight and there's some awful pot holes to dodge. 2 buses on that service blew out tyres on pot holes that day. I drive about 40,000 miles a year! Not to worry.
