Hi Carrie
Thanks for your comments. I do try and keep it well balanced. It’s the revenue side of things that get to me, if all the revenue was to be spent on genuine road safety, I would be a happy chappy BUT this will never happen.

Best Regards
Stuart XV16

Too true, I know of areas where serious accidents take place and they can’t even get a pedestrian crossing. The money would be better spent on general road safety, however once they have done this and the casualty rate drops there is no income.

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?

Yes 4 times, although I only have the 3 points left now, that’s what set me off with the crusade. I just wished I knew as much then as I do now. I have been lucky lately probably due to the detector. Lets face it some of the limits on our roads are way outdated.

Hi Radar
I was not aware of this, but I will write a letter to both mags asking them if they will consider it, I must start buying a copy of Bike as well as all the others. If any other member comes across an article please let me know, regardless of what it is, I do search all the daily papers and regional papers throughout the country on a daily basis. I need ammunition to keep fighting the cause, so if you see an article in a magazine or on TV please tell us here.

Thanks…

Best Regards

He should be on the Horlicks adverts.

I have heard about it, but would like to see some before I parted with the dosh. There seems to be lots of diferent things cropping up, maybe a test site would be a good thing. But remember the Truvelo forward facing camera and the SPECs systems don’t use flash, not but it bothers us when on the bikes.

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.

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.

This is a tricky one, you can certainly try but remember they make up their own statistics so proving it may turn out to be expensive. If you can give me a bit of time I will dig out some info I have and post it here shortly. I will try and get done for you later today.

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