'If you were not stopped and warned by the Police at the time of the offence, a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) must be served on the registered keeper of the vehicle within 14 days of the incident. Court proceedings must be started within 6 months of the incident.' I think on that basis, regardless of what everybody has said, I have no option but to just pay it since he warned me at the side of the road. I just wanted to know where I stood and whether there were any loopholes I could exercise, but as is so often the case, there isn't! At the end of the day if I had of been paying attention and wasn't speeding then I wouldn't even be in this situation. So ultimately, this is the price I have to pay! Cheers guys EFA ________________________________________ Rich |

There are ways of getting your own back...Pay the fine, doesn't look like you have much choice. However, we all know places where we've seen a mobile camera van or police car sat with a gun on numerous occasions, ALWAYS in the same spot. Go down to B&Q, buy a box of 100 nails. Then go to that spot and scatter them all over the floor. Even if it costs them £50 a time to repair a couple of punctures, you've already cost them more money than they've cost you.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Or is that only for vans n gatsos? I believe there only needs to be signs in spots where there are 'regular speed checks'. They would argue that they hardly ever do speed checks where they caught me, and it was only a hand gun, not a Gatso or anything. Besides, even if there did have to be signs, I doubt that would stick in court. Otherwise you couldn't have unmarked police cars driving around, same principle really! |

There are no legal requirements for any signage at all regarding speed cameras.There are recommendations for some scenarios, but these are not requirements. ________________________________________ Rich |

Just pay up and take it on the chin. Regardless of wether you think they were w**kers for being there at the time, you and only you was in the wrong. You took the risk of speeding and you got caught. Accept it. The police have every right to stop anywhere they like with a mobile gun so you always have to be on the look out! |

Not true as far as im aware. Fixed cameras have to be signed and van areas (they have defined areas. they cant just park up anywhere) have to be signed as well. |

The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 make no mention of requirements for such signs. Which legislation do you believe covers this Stan? Also, read section 4 of this from the DfT Noting especially the last paragraph: Compliance with these rules has no bearing on the enforcement of offences detected by the use of safety cameras. Non-compliance with these rules and guidelines by a partnership, or representative of a partnership, does not provide any mitigation of, or defence for, an alleged offence committed under current UK law. ________________________________________ Rich |

Well i was actually told this by a judge who specialises in road traffic convictions so im certainly going to believe it and also i have noticed since i was told this that they do put signs where they put the vans. |

The reason why the safety camera partnerships do sign all of their fixed cameras and mobile detection zones is because they are not allowed to collect revenue from cameras being operated outside of signed zones.This of course has no bearing on cameras or mobile checks operated by the police directly. ________________________________________ Rich |
