Had a letter trhough informing me that i was doing 60 in a 40. can i get out of it anyway???
thanks
If you were, and the charge it accuses you of clearly states the correct offense was committed (I got out of one because they sent two which both accused me of offenses I didn`t do), then unless you know The Doctor, there isn`t anything you can do. :/
If you were doing it then you`re guilty. Looking for some sort of loophole??
Take your punishment and it may deter you from doing it again..
Can....worms......... everywhere........ aaaaaahhhhhh

If the NIP - ( Notice of Intent of Prosectution ) came more than 14 days after "said" offence then you can get out of it vvv easily. If it came within this period then itll be a fight and a half. 60 in a 40 should only result in 3 pts & a £40 fine so your proabably best just to stomache it.
PS - By a Radar Detector OR Drive VVV Slowly 8-)
All the best

Invest in a Lazer Defuser, that really f***s them up!
I was flagged doing 40 in a 30 and got £60 and 6 points. I`d say your looking at the same for 60 in a 40. Incidently I was caught out of town - on a road that two months previous WAS a 40 area. The slags didn`t even have a `new speed limit ahead` sign displayed. Could I have got away with it do you think?

yes u cud av got away with it because trhere wassn`t any speed limit signs up so u were unsure of the speed limit, so u stuck to what you thought it was previously! I`m just gona pay up the £60 and get another 3 points, which totals 6 points. the incident happened roughly a year after my first incident, give or take a couple of days!!!!
Just a FYI for DustyBin - Laser defusers are great ( except you need another device for Radar / Gatsos etc ) anyway the police are aware and getting annoyed with laser diffusers and a traffic cop mate has informed me there is now a database of cars that the police have been unable to lock onto with a laser - they will soon operate a 3 stricks and your out - As far as im aware Laser Defuser are illegal too - The only reason Radar detectors are not illegal is that they only recieve the signal they dont interfer with it.
