How do I get off a speeding fine!?

[RobD7]

I've just been caught speeding (obviously I wasn't) and the kind officer game me 3pts and a £60 fine

 

I've found a few websites which guarantee you they can get you off your fine. Has anyone experience of using them? Do they work? I see one site charges £15 for a letter template and guarantees you that it will get you off 100% of the time.

 

I've pm'd Djsickboy as I know he has some info on this.

 

Anyone else have any advice for swerving this? Would be much appreciated!

Cheers for that link Zed, that website is reall good. Basically it has told me that I should have played up when I was stopped as now that I've taken a fixed penalty notice it's prob too late!

 

I feel a little cheated as when I asked what I was signing for, he said to me that it was to say he believes I deserve it, when really I've signed to say I've accepted it.

 

A lesson to everyone, the distance he caught me over was rediculously short. I never gave it a thought a copper could stand there in the pitch black in a stretch of road 100m between 2 junctions I was using!!

 

He then had the cheek to say enjoy the rest of your evening

you may be able to go on a "speed awareness" course in lieu of the 3 points - depends on the juristication of where you were caught and so on.. wouldnt save you money as you have to pay for the course..

 

 

eg for Norfolk.. http://norfolk-safety-camera.org.uk/ind ... speedaware

 

if you get the 3 points remember to declare them to your insurance - 3 points wont (shouldnt) make much difference to your premium.

Read the document very carefully. Is there anything spelt wrong, or poorly written that could be confused......??

 

That's the only thing I have used before, and it worked. Otherwise, once you've signed it's kinda difficult to get off.

You have email

[RobD7]

Cheers for the info guys and thanks for the e-mail Beavis.

 

Having read everything I think I'll have a little nosey at where I got caught and look for speed signs etc... However it does look like I'm going to have to just bend over and take it like a man! First time in 11 years so not all bad. I'm just being a bad loser

 

This car hasn't brought me much luck yet, gone through 3 tyres and 3 points in 3 months!!

[H5]

Sounds like your dose of three lots of bad luck though. Look forward to some good luck for a while!

:lol:

 

Wonder if that would work

[rtbiscuit]

how exactly did they catch you?

 

was this an un marked car following you?

 

or a copper by the side of the road with a speed gun?

 

either way they normally show you what you did, in the back of the "neon chessboard"

[Ian]

I got caught by a radar gun. Was doing 45 in a 30 so i'm not gonna bother disputing it.

[RobD7]

I took it like a man! I'm now the proud owner of 3 points and my bank account £60 worse off for the priviledge

[rtbiscuit]

i got some 4 years ago, mine have just gone, i konw how infuriating it is, i was absolutly fuming.

 

but it was my fault.

 

like you said, have to take it like a man.

If the engine didn't sound so good accelerating, I would never have been speeding!
