Hello there
On 11th August I drove past a Talivan and convinced myself I MIGHT have been a little over the limit which was a 30mph area. However, it's been such a horrible year for me in one way or another, quite frankly I think if I'd WALKED past the flipping van I'd have convinced myself I was speeding. I'm simply after a little reassurance if possible please. I know about the 14 day guideline, and today IS 'Day 14'. After going through a two week roller coaster of emotions and panic attacks I'm simply wondering if you more knowledgable guys think I may be ok to start relaxing now? Thank you. |

I'm sorry I should have said in my previous posting. I have owned my car from new since 1997, so I am its one and only keeper. I have lived at the same address for 9 years and 2 months. I hope against hope nothing will turn up. Have had enough horrible things go wrong for me this year, I truly have done my bit! |

Whilst the law is 30mph a little leeway is normally allowed, usually 10% +2, so 35 mph.
Plus car speedometers normally under-read though it must not be more than 10% and it must never under read. My own car when reading 76 MPH is actually doing 70MPH. (not in a 30 limit I need to say). Paula |

I so appreciate your help. As I say, having been through redundancies and bereavements I'm simply at the stage of "when will the next horrible thing happen", which of course I know is daft, but I guess one gets like that when life has chucked it's worst at someone. I am one of life's boring people, same car for 14 years, same address for over 9, so if I'd done anything untoward I would suspect I'd be easy to trace. Thanks again. |

The law says 14 days and you are the keeper and not recently changed address so yes it looks good.
