Basically, you haven't 'picked up a band B' because that would only apply if you delay, delay, delay, and then take to court.
Assuming your estimate of speed is correct, best tip to get lower than 6 points would be to fill in the request for drivers detail asap and receive a fixed penalty of 3 points & £100. Or you could try to delay things again for as long as possible, then delay the court date for a bit longer, argue it out at court, get maybe 5 points instead of 6 and a fine (c) 125% of your weekly wage, but at least you will have won.

Message:
I came onto the M25 at 3 am from the M40 with no indication of roadworks or speed restrictions. As I entered onto the slip road there was on one lane a 50 mph restriction,all other lanes had no signs , the road had no visible roadworks,looking up the motorway there were no visible speed restrictions on the next gantry . I went through at about 60mph and was flashed . The " roadworks" never materialised and no further speed restrictions were evidence d although there were arrows indicating we should move to lane 1 . By the M4 ,no release evidenced but , eventually I increased my speed above 50mph as I was terrified of being rear ended by faster trucks . Can I fight the NIP if I get one ?? It was totally unclear what the speed limit was.

OP, you mention "unclear temporary roadworks". Why do you think there were roadworks?

I hear trucks have brakes, steering wheels and all sorts of other mod cons these days.

Hello guys,
So today, I finished work after 6 pm, I turned out of the trading estate, and into the residential road which Is all 20mph and after the mini roundabout, I see three pcso's and one short lady pcso what appears to have in her hand a handheld camera and as soon as I was approaching, she started moving away and trying to make herself invisible, and they were all situated on a bend so cannot anticipate and slow down from the distance. I was doing 26mph on my digital dash and then slowed eventually. Will I be penalised for this?

While it is possible at that speed you could receive a NIP & request for driver details through the post, I would have expected by the weight of numbers that they would be conducting roadside stops. Was she aiming the device at you or just holding it?

Hi,
I have not received a NIP but would hugely appreciate an answer. I suffer from OCD and have been very concerned about traffic offences following a seperate red light incident in which I received an SJP notice (to which I pleaded guilty) and am yet to receive the outcome.
In short, are you guilty of an offence if your car straddles the stop line but you stopped on amber and did not move at all on red? I.e. the car does not move on red but is stationary over the line.
Today as I approached a set of lights, it turned amber. Unfortunately in my hurry to stop I passed the line and was sat with the nose of the car, and possibly the front wheel, over the line. I did not move the car again until it was safely green.
The light in question was this one here - 292 A4051
https://maps.app.goo.gl/xcwXvc1HoNC8ysL2A?g_st=ac.
Would it have flashed if so? And would it be obvious it had done so?
Thank you in advance. Again, I know I am probably overly worried, but would hugely appreciate the help.

If any part of your car moves [forward] over the stop line while the red light is showing, you commit the offence. The same applies to amber lights unless it was not safe (or possible) to stop. It is very rare to be prosecuted for crossing on amber.

Thank you for your response, especially so quickly. I suppose what I am asking then is would you expect the camera pictured to have gone off?
I expect that it is triggered by sensors/ an algorith to detect movement after the red light. In which case it would not have done so, as I did not move forward at all after stopping, albeit just over the line, on amber.

Don't know. Don't care. Pretend you're a grown up and deal with it.
Also do not bump threads.

Last week I was driving and a cyclist (no, not _him_) pulled up next to the car at traffic lights and looked in the (open) passenger window, presumably to nosey about for mobile phone usage (of which there was none). My passenger had a few choice words for the cyclist, who said he'd be reporting this to the police.
I've not had anything through yet, but just to put me at ease a little, am I as driver liable in any way for the abuse the passenger shouted at the cyclist, and if not, am I under any obligation to name the passenger if the cops do get in touch?

Hello just wondering the consequences for what has happened.
I was driving behind a very slow car on a 30mph road. Single lane each way in an area where there is a school on this road also. This was around 7.30pm today.
The car was driving at 20 - 22mph the whole way down the road, and behind me was a queue of cars also.
On a stretch of this road, i have over taken the car but did not notice there was a gatso camera on a pole.
The camera has flashed me (my digital display showed 33mph)
Would i be getting 3 points and £100 fine or worse for over taking?
Thank you

It won’t be for overtaking, it will be for speeding. If you get an NIP (to registered keeper within 14 days) you should be offered a course.
