| I think yours was a road tax camera or he was breaking the rules. I've seen so many Mobile Scammers operating with the windows closed at the back. Some of them with silvered windows. Are you sure the rules haven't changed? Anyway if the van did have the windows closed, you were caught speeding by t... |

Lights on :30: terminal sign still not fixed yet, although I didn't thi... |

| I had a similar occurance but I accelerated onto a second set of lines after the lines next to the camera. Its as if they were trying to get drivers who accelerate away from the camera zone. Anyway its now 14 days after that and thankfully no NIP yet so looks like they're out of time. see this threa... |

Why don't they just scrap or reduce the 3 points then and just have a fine. Many people would object less to that. OR What about an option to pay to reduce your points: A driving licence valet  |

| I believe that yellow backed signs are non complient in non-street lit areas. If the area is street lit AND is a "principle road" the terminal signs must be lit with thier own specific lights. Does this mean a speed limit is unenforceable where the terminal signs are unlit due to a lighti... |

| What happens if you are away when the NIP lands. You could naturally assume that it was delivered after the 14 days and send it back marked "out of time" |

| The reliance on normal post is flawed because they cannot prove you have received it or been served the NIP within the time limit. Post gets lost all the time. What would happen if you did not open the letter (you can easily see its an NIP), waiting until the 14 days is up (assuming the offender kno... |

| what would happen if you wait until the NIP you just received (say it arrived within 14 days) is more than 14 days old then mark it out of time and send it back. If a dishonest person were to do this could they get out of responding to any NIP every time and just "blame it on a slow post servic... |

When they respond with "it is not possible becasue this the camera took it from the re... |
