Only doing 38 definitely under 40. Flashed.
What chances of avoiding ticket?
If anyone knows the area, its north road cardiff, just past Gabalfa flyover.
38 in a 40 - if I get done. See other post.
I understand its 50% of weekly salary now. Jeez. Thats hell of a lot more than before.
How do they calculate weekly wage? I'm self-employed sort of and pay an umbrella company to do my payslips. Or could I argue based on last years salary up till April 2017?
I dont have a fixed salary as such.
Or hope they do a speed awareness course in South Wales?
If you know you were speeding, you went past a speed camera and it flashed there seems a fair chance you will be hearing about it. If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle you have 14 days to wait to find out.
They are likely to offer a speed awareness course provided if have not previously done one for an offence in the last three years, South Wales and nearly all other areas offer courses, and for up to 42 in a 30 limit, failing that you would get a fixed penalty offer unless that would take you to 12 points or more.
30 limit?
If flashed there's a good chance the driver has been caught. (Enforcement starts at 35)
Is it an urban myth that sometimes they don't follow up the ones that aren't returned within 28 days and you get away with it?
Everyone seems to have a 'friend' who got away with it like this.
Form seems to imply you risk not getting a speed awareness course offer or possible further sanctions if there is a delay (I was 35 in a 30 zone).
But then that would be a bit unfair because it was sent to me regular post and I'd be posting it back regular post. Rate maybe but there are two chances for it to get lost.
I'd be unhappy if that genuinely happened to me.
Then again if they always follow up no point trying it on?

NIP Wizard Responses
These were the responses used by the Wizard to arrive at its recommendation:
Have you received a NIP? - Yes
Are you the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned (is your name and address on the V5/V5C)? - Yes
Did the first NIP arrive within 14 days? - Yes
Although you are the Registered Keeper, were you also the keeper of the vehicle concerned (the person normally responsible for it) at the time of the alleged offence? - Yes

NIP Wizard Recommendation
Based on these responses the Wizard suggested that this course of action should be considered:
You should note that there is nothing to be gained by responding any earlier than you have to at any stage of the process. You are likely to receive a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty (COFP) and further reminder(s). If you want to continue the fight, you should ignore all correspondence from the police until you receive a summons. You need to understand from the outset that while you will receive much help and support from members on the forums, you will need to put time and effort into fighting your case and ultimately be prepared to stand up in court to defend yourself.

Well there you go. Name yourself as the driver and the offer of a course should result, no point in any delay.
One case, one thread, last warning.
