Speeding Fine

[chrislocalboy]

Hello all.... to my horror I recieved a Notice of Intended Prosecution through my door today, basically it was a speeding fine.

Now I've heard many times that you can easily get off these fines and points by writing somekind of letter.... having scoured Google find lots of hits.... all want somekind of payment and they send you a template.... has anyone here done this or managed to get a speeding fine cancelled, if so could they please tell me how???

An ex colleague got caught in the same spot a couple of years ago, he wrote off asking for evidence or a copy of the photograph.... he never heard anything back and it was therefore cancelled (just using this as an example)

I understand I should not have been going over the speed limit but 40mph on a busy dual carriage way it think is silly.... and the area I was caught in is right in the middle if a 2 sided industrial estate, no housing, schools or anything that would normally impose a sensible speed limit in the area.

Cheers peeps.

LOL!!!!

I found that website which was mentioned and have got myself that PACE template thingy and was all ready to send it but then noticed those posts were done in 2004.... have things changed since then??

Am I best asking for the evidence first and seeing what happens?? if so how would I word it;

Mr Policeman, could you please provide me with a sopy of the evidence that you speak of in case blah blah blah

Is that ok? worded and typed properly of course?

Cheers

Im not making any excuses you arse.... I clearly stated that..... but rather that sit on a grass verge in a van driking coffee and snapping people on there way to work who will actually have to do a full and hards days work rather than as mentioned sit on my arse drinking coffee all day and looking through a camera every few minutes and taking the odd picture/reading, I think police time could be used much more effectivly to catch some real criminals instead of making an honest and hard working persons struggle month to month simply to pay my mortgage and bills another £60 harder.

If I was still living at home with my parents living the high life then I would not care.... but I dont, I'm in the 8th month of owning my first home and let me tell you its damn hard so please dont tell me to stand up and be a man.... you have no idea.
