Someone I know got pulled last night and was booked for speeding under the code E131. The policeman said the codes have changed recently.

Is this correct? I haven't heard of this and I can only find the normal list of codes online that have been used for years.

This is what I have initially told the person. The whole scenario really seems dodgy to me to be honest. I didn't think that there had been a change of codes I just wanted to be sure before I tell him.

He was pulled over by a lone policeman who said he was doing 55mph in a 50mph limit. The evidence offered was the policemans word and apparently a calibrated speedo (so unlike a vascar no recorded evidence). The policeman then had to apparently get his book out to find out the code to which he wrote E131.

I am going to get back to my mate as it all just seems wrong to me.
 
It was apparently a volvo which would say to me traffic car. The policeman however said his word and calibrated speedo. I have already said why didn't he use the Vascar etc to this person.

And as for having to get a book out to find out what code he should fine my friend under tells me he wasn't a traffic cop hence not knowing how to use the vascar. I personally think it was a normal policeman taking the car to another station and doesn't like motorbikes! I mean 55 in a 50? I know its over but not by much.

I'm gonna keep on at him to find out more as at the moment he wants to roll over and accept it but I think something is wrong here.
 
Trying to find out at the moment. It only happened last night so hopefully he hasn't done anything yet!

Do not hand out the fine at the side of the road these days if it is a fixed penalty? Its been a few years since I had any. In fact it was just before the fine was upped to £60 that I last got any points. But back then I got the whole thing on the side of the road which I had to fill in then send off with my license to where ever it was.
