You can only get a CCJ for a private parking invoice.

All you can do is monitor your licence and credit record but the latter would only be affected if you'd not acted on say a private PCN in a retail park etc.

If a lot of your driving is in one borough/council area you could ask them to check the VRM for PCNs but these like the bridge toll only result in bailiff enforcement not the county court.

I very stupidly due to traffic and a bus blocking me went down a one way filter lane in Piccadilly Circus. I know it says no entry and there are signs but I couldn’t see them due to the bus blocking me. I just thought it was a filter lane to the right.

The bus driver pulled up along side me and was very rude to me. Unfortunately I had no where to go. Couldn’t reverse due to traffic so I just went to the right which was my direction when the light turned green. No excuse - I simply become confused.

Considering how many cameras are in the middle of London I can’t imagine any situation where I don’t get a SJP notice and have to name the driver.

What is the penalty I’m looking at here? I have zero points on my licence currently. Thanks. 

The above car park is monitored by ANPR and customers are required to sign in on a tablet to ensure that they are genuine.
Last evening the driver went to the pub for a meal with a number of guests and due to the turmoil of Xmas eve forgot to sign in upon arrival .£140 spent and during the meal remembered had not entered registration number. Spoke to a member of staff who stated as long as this was carried prior to leaving car park this would be ok.
As anyone had experience of this type of issue and outcome. I will return to the car park to see if it specifies you have to enter registration number upon arrival

While I was en-route to a hospital appointment with my pregnant wife, as I turned in a road (20mph road) I noticed some locomotion with 4 high viz individuals between parked cars on the left. As I approached (going around 20mph) they moved towards the road, and I notice one of them with a gun dangerously stepping in the road to get my license plate I suspect). Causing me to brake and do an avoidance manoeuvre (the only point when I looked at my speed and was doing 16mph at the time).
Whilst I don't think I was over the speed limit until I receive a NIP, I want to write a complain or do something about the way they conducted this speed trap. How can I go about it please? I understand they were so keen to catch people speeding (like haven't they got better things to do between holidays?!) but they need to do this in a safe manner! What if I had an oncoming car on the other side of the road, do I have to make the decision to run them over or crash the oncoming car?! Very unprofessional!

It says above car park but where is this car park exactly?

The manager of the pub should be contacting Euro perhaps and advising them not to issue I would have thought. That’s how to control the outcome. Left to a PPC, they are unlikely to withdraw at a guess even if you produce the receipt but that is all it should take.

 

Plod = police

What was the speed limit at this point, as I know the A3 around Guildford has lowered speed limits for a stretch?

It could be quite a while before you hear anything, as the NIP will go to the Registered Keeper (who may or mat be the hire company).

If the hire company name you as the driver they may have a job tracing you if you are a French resident.The hire company may well charge you for any traffic fines and charges if they have your card details, it depends on their T&Cs. DVLA will issue a ghost licence in the UK and point will be added to that. They can't put points on your French licence. A court could possibly ban you from driving in the UK or a while. It's quite easy to confuse mph with km/h on some cars. 85 km/h is about 50 mph.
