Whatever - thats going to be an expensive lesson

Thats a right bummer @Pauly
I got done a few years back. Speed limit change from 40mph down to 30mph so the &£%#ers had just taken down the old 40mph signs - thus bringing into force the street lightning rules for 30mph. Still makes me swear now
They did me for doing 36 in a 30 FFS!!

My missus got done a few years back in a temorary 40 limit in a 50 zone, the fuzz were camped out all day and made a flipping fortune - she worked for the police (civvie side) and got told off at work for getting a speeding ticket and 3 points.

Still the chief constables wife got done the same day lol.

Already done a speed awareness course just hoping it was over 2 years ago, think it was ?
Im thinking i will return the lower one first and take the fixed penalty incase the bigger one means going to court, at least i will get to have my say

Be aware Pauly, that if you contest this and your van is a Kombi the speed limit is 60mph on a Dual Carriageway, not the stated 70mph. I got done at 86mph in a 70mph (A64) and decided not to contest as someone may raise this at court. 86mph - 60mph =26mph =BAN!!

I would pay the higher one first if you wanted to contest anything.

 

[Pauly]

Not going to contest anything but had very similar in the past, im guessing the higher one will force me to go to court as too much for a fixed penalty i reckon it will be a 6 point offence but as i will be on 6 points already i then get to ask not to be banned and pay the increased fine to take 5 points (extra £300 last time it happened)

Worth reading, in your case the 14 day notification has been exceeded.

What to Do If You Get a Speeding Ticket

 

[Pauly]

Had some good news yesterday, have been offered a speed course for the lesser offense so my licence look safe, will send in the other one now and see what happens
@BiTurbo i received after 7 days ish

 

[Pauly]

better set that speed warning up on the dash Pauly

Didnt quite understand this when it was posted but picked up a euro6 courtesy van today while mine is in being repaired and it has a settable speed warning on the dash !
Theres a couple more options on there mine doesnt have like instantaneous fuel consumption, is this a difference between euro5 and euro6 or just different dashboards, anyone know ??

 

[Nickdaw]

mine is euro 5, and has speed setting and the instantaneous fuel consumption

 

[StudleyGlass]

Mines a Euro 5 Pauly and thought yours would have it aswel that's why I posted it

 

[surf-report]

My year old euro 6 has them both

 

[Pauly]

How peculiar, wondering why mine doesnt show them now ??
Will have to have a proper look through the MFD and VCDS when i get it back later in the week, mine is an early model manufactured aug 15 registered sept 15 and i have noticed a few quirks with it now in VCDS where stuff is turned off like lamp out warnings

 

[StudleyGlass]

Think you need a new one mate

 

[Pauly]

Not just yet mate, think i can struggle on with this one for a little while

 

[mark]

My April 2016 reg had most of lamp warmings turned off as well, although it does has the other things mentioned.

 

[T6dder]

What a shitter. Only just read this thread!

Can you ask to see your speeding photos?

Just thinking for the calendar
