the 14 day thing I'm sure is wrong , but it has to have been issued in the 14 days , so check the date on the nip when you get it .
Also check the rest of the details .
I'm not endorsing getting off on loopholes but my gf got caught doing i think 0 in a 50 on the A167 which is about 8 or so miles of road which links durham with gatehead i think , basically the nip on location only had A167 on it , which happens to have around 4 or so diferent speed limits along it , so in theory she could have been doing anywhere between double the speed limit to within the speed limit .
so she politely sent them a letter explaining she is not saying it wasnt her in the car but would pointed out with the nip being so vague and more than one person being insured on her car , plus it being on the main passing her house it could have been anyone in the car . So this wanted pictures to clarify it , after this the police sent round two toy police with another nip , this time it had been changed and it had A167 ( park section) which located it to a specific area .
She refused to sign this and pointed out that she couldnt be fined for the same offence twice , they left pretty quick after that and it gave a good indiation that the police had made a mistake and were trying to force people into accepting new ones
so the pictures never came and she ended up in court , adjourned, again back to court to tell them she still had not received any more info , again adjourned .
Back to court a third time ad this time they had video evidence , which was a shame , it showed the camera flicking on her car , off to other cars then eventually flashing back to hers , you could not see who was dining at all , then to top it off the camera was sitting looking at the centeral reservation which to everyones amazment was doing a steady 30 mph ha ha
Another story was my brother was going along felling bypass which is double lane 40 changing to 40 dual carriage way.
It was just before 12 and he admits he was doing about 50 , he say a police car onthe opposite I'd of the road so slowed down , the police must have drove further down and turned round at a set of lights . they then took a pretty long time of my brother doing 40 mph and them speeding with lights on to catch him up .
Usual procedure , back of the car son , you were speeding which he said nothing to and just let the police give out his verbal caution (btw this was standard panda car with only one officer in)
. so one producer later which wasnt a problem as it was all legal and an earbashing and on his way .
two weeks or so later nip on the door mat , the said officer said whilst he was travelling in the opposite direction my brother was seen doing between 80-90mph in a standard 1.2 nova saloon.
how the officer judged that is beyond me and if he had there is no way in which he would have been able to turn around much further down the road and catch said land speed record breaking nova .
this went to court and was basically laughed at , the officer also made up loads of really weird pointles lies like what my brothers occupation was and a few other little things.
it was thrown out pretty quick after that .
goes to show some people incompetance and if thisis how they treat smaller crimes then how many mistakes do they make else were , or how many people have just accepted the fine and paid up
