Sorry how can they prosecute for an even that happend 6 months ago.

I thought it was 14 days or something like that?

Yeah I filled the NIP in and sent it back, as they have sent a photocopy of it with all the paperwork which they have sent me.

Cypher, I got the NIP a week after the event, but have just received the court summons now.....the deadline is 6 months though, and after that it is void, so I have been quite unlucky really.

I deffo wasnt driving like an idiot to be honest.....im quite suprised I was going that fast really. It is quite common in north yorkshire though, as my friend is a special PC and he said its common practise really. He seems to think Ill get 3 points and a £60 fine though.....which seems quite excessive having it in court etc.

Im not going to argue, as I probably was over 30mph, but didnt know if I could write something in that section which might help me.

if you got a court summons, then they may want to prosecute you further than 3 points and a fine.
45 in 30 means you was breaking the speed limit by 50% - thats like getting caught going 105mph on the motorway.

Prob got a form to fill in on your outgoings, etc. so they can means fine you.

wasnt there a proposal a while back to make 50% over a heavier penalty?

never heard what happened to it though.

Yeah Egg, I got a form with my outgoings etc on as well! Also I need to post both parts of my license away as well.

Im not too bothered about the fine to be honest, its just the points I dont want, as insurance is expensive enough anyway.

What was wierd I thought was the car followed me with video equipment, but didnt pull me over....just sent me the NIP 6 months ago.

Here when you drive past a school, if its recess the speed limit drops to 15.

Dont worry about your insurance, 3 points makes no difference these days - insurance companies are well aware drivers are flashed all the time. I notified my insurers and they didnt care.
