Hi everyone,
When I was travelling on a motorway (couple of months ago) there was a reduced speed limit (50mph) while I was travelling at 60mph. I saw a couple of camera flashes behind me and thought I was getting a speeding ticket in the post. However, I have received nothing so far (the address on the v5c is up to date). I am wondering if there is a way to find out whether I have a speeding ticket or not. I am worried that the letter might have been lost in the post and I may find myself in the court. Your help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks |

Phone the police force in question where the camera is located and ask for the safety camera team, they can check their database.
Enforcement of a 50 limit starts at 57mph, so a speedo reading of 60 could be just on that 57, actual reading 58/59 would likely put you under (no guarantee). As this isn't an actual case it will probably be moved to the flame pit. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

Thank you for your reply. So, you reckon the flashes don’t mean that I have been clocked speeding then? Thanks

Thank you for your reply. So, you reckon the flashes don’t mean that I have been clocked speeding then? Thanks The cameras reset once a day, when they reboot as part of the start-up procedure they test the flash. It might have been that you just happened to drive past as the camera was restarting. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
