docwra Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 If your GPS tracker says you were within the 30mph limit that is enough for any court to throw it out. GPS doesn't lie, people on the other hand do... Domestic GPS isn't accurate enough, as it doesn't take into account topography. Hes right you know, GPS is no defence as far as a court is concerned.

Jetpilot Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Domestic GPS isn't accurate enough, as it doesn't take into account topography. You dont half talk nonsense sometimes, civilian gps (sps) and military gps (pps) use exactly the same satellites, civilian operates on one frequency and military two so they can use "ionospheric correction" which reduces radio degradation through the earths atmosphere. Topography has nothing to do with it Civilian gps is getting more and more accurate year on year as they introduce new signals and frequencies Edited September 15, 2014 by Jetpilot 1 Quote
Grundy Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Just go fast enough to not have to worry if you were border line speeding? Quote

ioneabee Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 How long from point of capture with a camera van to a letter arriving on the doorstep if they decide to pursue Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 How long from point of capture with a camera van to a letter arriving on the doorstep if they decide to pursue I believe 14 days unless it is a summons then maybe 6 months or a year Lucky enough to have never needed to know so far....

ioneabee Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 This'll be my first in a VERY long time in the zed (knowing its capabilities) I'm very careful, but to have slipped up in a 997cc Arosa that struggles to reach 50mph........oh, the shame of it Quote

A GPS 'Tracker' such as the insurance black boxes is, As when a car carrying a blackbox goes to court after a dangerous crash and they see the driver speeding they use it to convict them so it as good device to prove innocence Edited September 15, 2014 by StevoD Quote

Topography has nothing to do with it Civilian gps is getting more and more accurate year on year as they introduce new signals and frequencies So we're completely ignoring how most GPS units in small modern devices (like phones and satnavs) only have a frequency sample of 1Hz, when for that kind of accuracy you're talking about you need at least 5Hz or higher via some kind of additional receiver? Never mind the use of A-GPS in phones. Okay, just checking. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 How long from point of capture with a camera van to a letter arriving on the doorstep if they decide to pursue Technically it never has to arrive on the doorstep.... They have to issue the NIP within 14 days though. As Dave said, I'm sure a summons is longer but I don't know exactly for that. Quote
theheff Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 6 months from the date of the offence for the paperwork to be presented to court. I think the summons needs to be with a reasonable time from then. Quote
Zedd Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 How long from point of capture with a camera van to a letter arriving on the doorstep if they decide to pursue I got mine a week later! Quote

spursmaddave Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 you wouldn't ............... Might have to bring my Policeman outfit to Wales as well as the fireman one..... Quote
JetSet Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Caroline used to deal with speed awareness courses (collecting the money ) and tells me that North Wales Police send out all their tickets first class every Monday, that includes people caught on the Sunday so up here you would wait a maximum of 8 days..
