Whats the fine and points on a speed camera
Whats the fine and points on a speed camera
Subject says it all as I did 60mph past the camera markings but didn't see a flash at all on a 40mph road. Decided to drive back twice and couldn't spot a camera, its as if it use to be there but it got removed but the marking where left?
Any chance this could be true and how many points or a fine could I get?

60 in a 40 is a definate 3 points and £60 fine. Its a possibility you could get in more trouble for it, but if you got caught thats the minimum for 20mph over.ModifiedMadness wrote:If you did get caught then up to a certain point it's 3 points with a £60 fine.
Not too sure if you get off with just that for 60 in a 40 or if they'd want to do more.
Just have to wait and see.
I think I'm fine I just drove up and down the same stretch three times and even pulled over and walked up and down it too see if I could spot a camera but it looks like theres none there just the marking in the road left so I should be all good, now i drive like a granny in a micra due to my paranoia off speed limits and camera
I did exactly that with my work van down the A13 caught doing 63 in a 40 by a biker traffic cop (their the worst). Fortunetly it didn't result in anything further then a SP30. So I doubt any further action would be taken.alexperkins wrote:Its a possibility you could get in more trouble for it, but if you got caught thats the minimum for 20mph over.

If that's the road I'm thinking of; the two cameras going either way were burnt by vandals about four months agopolo-sib wrote:A223 the long 40mph stretch between Bexley village and Foots Cray, i was heading to Bexley and it the camera's suppose to be outside the White Cross/Oak Pub, drove past again still can't see one so I think I'm all good.
Lol yea ones burnt out at the bottom, think the one I can't seem to find has been removed and I didn't see a flash but I will definitely be paranoid for two weeksOllie_R wrote:If that's the road I'm thinking of; the two cameras going either way were burnt by vandals about four months agopolo-sib wrote:A223 the long 40mph stretch between Bexley village and Foots Cray, i was heading to Bexley and it the camera's suppose to be outside the White Cross/Oak Pub, drove past again still can't see one so I think I'm all good.
Unlucky Alex, I got pulled over for doing 90mph on Thames road in Erith which is a 30mph road about a month ago, just a verbal warning luckily. Should start watching my speed more often.
~There should be 2 along there but they haven't been there for ages. They were pulled down a couple of years ago, returned for about 2 weeks sometime last year and then they were both set on fire and never replaced.
