Its been about 3 weeks now and i am still waiting to find out if it got me. I know it did as i am pretty sure i was over 30mph but under 40mph. The limit is 30mph and the camera flashed.

There are 2 lanes of traffic, is it possible that someone else got flashed and not me. Can a camera catch more than one driver at a time?

And if it did get me how long can it take?

could be another lane... someone will correct me if im wrong, but i thought you had to be notified within 14 working days of the offence?

I thought it was 2 weeks as well. It must have been between 3 and 3 weeks now. I cant understand why i wouldn't get a notice if i was speeding though

14 days plus reasonable time for postage. Looks like you are ok Sara.

I think there is an issue if another car is in the shot. Don't quote me on this but I think that its not possible to prove BRD which car was over the limit.
This was the case on the normal 2 lane type cameras. Motorway ones are overhead so they are directional.

It is a busy section of road with a few cameras so i suppose it is possible that i wasn't the car that set the camera off.

Someone once told me that only the top 30% or so will get done

dpb

A clean license despite all those carve ups

Yep

Its not what you know but who you know

speedking

Incorrect address details on database.
Car registered to company so more time allowed to deliver NIP.
Non-digital camera with no film.
Faulty camera flashing every vehicle irrespective of speed.
Car is marked as involved in serious crime so police do not want to tip driver off with trivial offences
Numberplate illegible.
Road markings indistinct.
etc. etc.

That explains it then

With "Road markings indistinct" does that mean it would be more difficult for the police to prove speeding on a wet road?

If you have a wet road with the sun on it you cant see a foofing thing

Right here we go "again"

5% plus 2 mph is how they work it out on Gatso's

As for catching 2 people it's at a 1 time "Unless" it's a duel carriageway then no!

2 weeks they have to inform you and 6 months to take ya *** to court! But have to notify you 1st (Within the 2 weeks!)
