Jun 11, 2010
9 points already...
: On x/10 ...did Exeed 30 MPH speed limit (manual detection) contrary to S81(1)RTRA 84 Sch 2 ROTA 88
The recorded speed was 36 mph.
I have already replied to the initial NIP. I requested proof that it was my vehicle and that the equipment used was properly calibrated. Avon and Somerset Constabulary have replied with a copy of the photograph taken (of my vehicle) and directions to the calibration cert on line - which is in date for this year.
How many points have you got on your licence from the last 3 years: 9
How long have you been driving: 13 years

Im afraid that unless you are offered the speed awareness course - which is a possibility for this speed if you haven't done the course before - you are facing a 6 month totting ban.
The police will only provide the photos. Have you named yourself as the driver? If not you have to do so if that was the case otherwise you will get 6 points for failing to provide driver details.
The police don't have to provide you with evidence of calibration etc until after the case gets to court Im afraid.
Tell me why you need to be able to drive? I help over 92% of my clients avoid this type of ban and I will be happy to assist further.
You are going to get a summons to court if they are unwilling to offer the course.

Do not use online letter packs that claim to "Get yourself off a Speeding Ticket - Guaranteed!"
No two cases are the same. You must not mislead the police. A pro forma letter is not necessarily going to be relevant to the cirmcumstances of your case.
The road traffic police have seen them all a thousand times before.

This case represents our toughest battle to date. It was a battle at every stage involving Magistrates, District Judges, Court Clerks, Cps lawyers and Crown Court Judges. The argument was all about whether a road was public or private.
