Mobile Speed Detector - A31 Hogs Back

Mobile Speed Detector - Do they stop you?

Hi,

I went past a motorcycle based policement pointing a portable laser speed detector at the traffic.

My question is do they normally stop you after they find you speeding or do these laser speed detectors now take a photo - which they just send in the mail as normal with an NIP.

There were different opinions in the office!

If they don't stop and report you at the time I think you will find that it's a laser camera being used and there will be photographic evidence.

That Hogsback is a lovely road. Used to have to make regular trips using that road, in the ultimate on 4 wheels, the Astramax Van

Im sure i saw an atricle somewhere about the bikes now being used with the cameras on them. They were saying that they could hide them a lot better .. oops , i mean put them into accident blackspots

If you haven't had notification via post within 14 days chances are you got away with it.

I am pretty sure it is 14-days for a N.I.P to be actioned by the police. IIRC, they are allowed 2 or 3 days on top of this to allow for the time it takes to be delivered by post etc.

If it is a company/lease vehicle, I am sure they are allowed much longer, to take into account the potential delay in tracing the driver at the time. I wouldn't open the champagne too early just in case ;(

Good luck, chances are you probably got away with whatever it is

I know this has been tried before however photographic evidence should be banned based on a pic of a car going fast...

How fast were you going on what limit?
I was coming back from Dover one night was doing 90mph on the M2 suddenly when it was too late head lights lit up a police car sitting there pointing a speed gun at me, which was scummy because they were sitting on a platform where you could only see them when it was too late. I heard nothing and that was months ago, I thought being i was doing 90 i was in for it!
