Speed camera sites + Radar’s close one.

Hi
They should tell you where they will be, but this is not always the case. Most scamera partnerships post the information on their websites, I am currently working on a list of these so UK members or visitors can plan their route. Talivans usually use Laser and can target the front or the rear of a vehicle, and not necessarily be parked on the same side as the moving traffic they are targeting.

Unfortunately I can only post the area websites for members to check themselves, because they do move sites on a weekly basis, however members can familiarise themselves with the areas because they do come round quite frequent. Another tip is to know what your local talivan looks like, some use almost plain vehicles, some use vehicles which a blind man could not miss, but be aware most vans know are equipped with ORANGE not BLUE lights, this is another way of blending in to the everyday traffic passing off as a construction vehicle.

Yes, exactly like motorway maintenance, they even change the colour of the rear chevrons.
They are visible which makes it “acceptable”.

This might help. I will post this with it’s own header elswhere.

Trying to fight an NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution)

I know someone who followed the guidelines below and won.

Tell them you can’t remember who was driving at the time. First request the photographs as this may show the driver clearly enough to be recognised. If this still does not clarify who the driver was, then you should write and inform the police that you have reviewed the photographs and still are unable to work out who was driving.

In 2001, Head of Middlesbrough CID, Detective Superintendent Adrian Roberts, appealed against a fixed penalty notice that he had received for allegedly doing 35 in a 30 zone. Detective Superintendent Roberts, 36, was filmed driving at 35mph in a 30mph zone and a fixed penalty notice was sent to his home. He took the notice to the head of the force’s administration of justice department and told him he couldn’t remember if he’d been driving at the time. Superintendent Graham Cummings decided to scrap the ticket after ruling the photographic evidence was inconclusive.

As the Police are not above the law – you should be treated in the same manner. So if you can’t recall who was driving and the photographs don’t show the driver then a letter should get it dropped.

If it does not then another letter detailing the case of Detective Superintendent Adrian Roberts and requesting why his was dropped and yours was not, should bring about a result, if this does not, ask them why you should take the blame for someone else’s behaviour and remind them we still live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty.

Most prosecutions for speeding are based on the offender admitting their guilt when returning the NIP, if everyone was to question the allegations the system would eventually grind to halt.

Remember, they have to prove you guilty not you prove yourself innocent. Who can say I don’t drive/ride your vehicle on my own insurance. You are not being prosecuted for insurance matters.

Their equipment must be calibrated but not for every outing, I think it is only 12 month intervals.

Radar, hope you were lucky, it may be the other vehicles may have obscured your plate or even been the vicim themselves, if it was you they wanted and they could not get a clear shot,,,, I bet they are spitting feathers.

Any news yet Radar? 14 days today. You should not trust strangers to test drive your vehicle before selling it, how can you remember who they are?

Best Regards
