No!.....you don`t get "let off". and the best thing you can do is purchase a GPS speed scamera detector, preferably one that talks to you and shows your correct speed, your speedo`s are calibrated approximately 4 MPH above what you are actually doing., the radar detectors are pretty useless, by the time it beeps your already caught.
Join pepipoo forums: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=5 This is by far the most useful site for information on speeding/parking tickets.
Don`t get fobbed of by thses crank websites that promise you "All you need to know about how to avoid tickets" for £20.00 its all rubbish info and little more than a scam.
Its been a few years since I boned up on motoring law and some things may have changed so best thing would be pepipoo forums, its free to join.
But i`ll give you a couple of tips.
I`ll start at the beginning.......are we sitting comfortably?
When the dreaded NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution) drops on your mat 1st you check the postage, it has to be sent 1st class minimum by law, anything less.....and the NIP is unenforceable.(this does happen occasionally)
It also has to be sent to the vehicles owner within 14 days of the alleged offence.
If any of the above apply don`t throw away the envelope!
You also have 28 days to reply so always always always use that time.
Ok so like I said i`m not up to speed with any changes in the law so from here I would suggest pepipoo forums.
About 7 years ago I was on chemo for hepatitis c and couldn't work for a good few years and seeing as I had about 9 points on my license I decided to fight back (it kept me sane!) I avoided 3 or 4 tickets and also helped a good few mates do the same, its not always avoidable but if you know a little of the law surrounding this sometimes devious practice it can be very useful.
Sometimes you have to be ballsy enough to go to court and fight your corner.
