Safe Speed Forums

Just received a NIP from a scamera partnership.

I do recall the incident and remember thinking at the time that it must be impressive technology if it could actually get a reading from their vantage point!!

Alleged offence was on a dual carriageway with a 50mph limit. Road is uphill and straight - the only thing I couldn't see for miles was the scamera van hidden below the level of the barrier on the opposite carriageway. He must have got me through a break in the barrier or using overhead mirrors!!

Nevertheless I now have NIP for 79 in a 50. On average I drive 25-30k miles a year so any form of ban (or even insurance hike) is likely to cripple me completely. What can I do or what am I likely to get?

Any ideas or assistance would be gratefully received.

Your best bet is to have a word with the folks over at PePiPoo, they have plenty of experience and expertise in these things as I understand it.

PACE statements seem to be flavour of the month at the moment, and are apparently quite legal. I would caution against following any advice, however, that involves 'evading' a charge you seemingly acknowledge, since perverting the course of justice or perjury carry much stiffer penalties than speeding!

Good luck!

i have had my doubts about pace for a while there seems to be a lot of people still getting prosecuted for S172

You dont say which county you were in....

It might have been a periscope in Cumbria!
