My mother is the holder of a blue badge and parked on double yellow lines. No kerb markings the assumption being she has up to three hours parking.
The local Authority uses a camera car and patrols the area. The council web site states that the car fitted with ANPR can be used to issue PCN on double single yellow lines, bus stops etc.

Perhaps they have not explained that they can only issue the notices when vehicles are parked on yellow lines when kerb markings are in force. Anyone have any observations on this matter as she is having a bit of a panic. Definitely no kerb markings but the camera drove past the parked car.

Swansea?

I think they use the camera cars mainly for no stopping contraventions. If your mother was legally parked displaying her BB there is nothing to worry about as they can't show otherwise.

Only the first notice to the registered keeper is subject to the 14 day rule for the NIP. If the car is leased that will likely be the lease company or a finance company, so you could be 2nd or 3rd in the chain. After that the Police have 6 months in order to prosecute for the alleged offence. Realistically though they would need to send you a request for driver details more than 28 days prior to that to ensure a prosecution could commence.

Have you checked that your details are correct with the lease company? Not always, but often they will notify you of any received NIPs so they can remind you of any associated admin fee they charge for completing it with your details.   

Where did you get the "+1"? It's 14 days.

I have no relevant experience, but I'd be surprised if it's more than 3-4 days. There need be little or no human involvement in the process, so no reason for any delay.

Date of offence is Day 0 when counting for NIP so it’s 14 days from day following the date of offence.

No, its "within fourteen days of the commission of the offence" [Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, s 1(1(c))].

Not 14 days from the day following, or indeed the day before.

For an offence on the 1st of the month, the NIP must be served by the 15th.

So there is this single carriageway road that is posted at 50mph and is enforced via Jenoptik VECTOR average speed cameras mounted on streetlamps. There is this exit that is only usable in one of the directions and I happened to miss it, I pulled into the first lay by after the junction (And passing a camera in said direction at 50) and then got a safe opportunity to perform a U turn taking me back the opposite direction in which I passed a different camera which is almost directly opposite the camera I passed in the first direction albeit this one is monitoring the other direction. I then pulled over and waited for a gap to do a second U turn to get back to my exit.
I'm worried if the camera systems are interlinked and may have wrongly calculated my average speed as way higher than it should be.
How "idiot proof" are these kind of installations? Like does the ANPR system controlling the stretch only check for offences between cameras in the same direction or are all cameras linked regardless of direction?
Example stretch. Eastbound features cameras A, B and C at the end, middle and end. Westbound features cameras D, E and F at similar positions to A, B and C. If a motorist going eastbound passes cameras A and B, but then decides to pull a U turn and then pass cameras E and F (All while staying within the speed limit). Will the system flag an offence between cameras B and E?

Or, A to D, B to F, D to E...

Was driving to LBA tonight and got caught by suprise that a new speed camera has been fitted by Apperly bridge. Its that recent that it has not been on Waze yet, first camera I saw is at the bottom of the hill opposite the pub, another one was a bit further on and a final yellow pole with no cameras attached to it yet. Rumoured to become a SPECS array once completed. Does anyone know if these half-finished stretches are immediately live and recording as fixed cameras once one is errected or do they only become live and recording once the final camera is installed and commissioned?
