Anyone who's ever got one (naughty naughty)..
Having done 47mph through a 40mph area, I was pretty sure that I was snapped by a goddamn yellow box; now it's been 14 days since said offence and I haven't received any letter from said bastards who regulate and operate the camaras.. or whoever the hell sends you these things.
I've been told I should wait for 17days at the maximum to receive anything (as postage takes a very, very long time) but if I do receive anything, am I obligated to pay the fine and accept the points (as it's after this 14 day period)??

Never happened but I remember doing over the limit through Stoke once where speed cameras were everywhere. I'm sure I've been speeding past police cars/vans and cameras over the speed limit about 10 times but never had any letters....yet!

No. They have 14 days to advise you of any offence. They can't use the slow post as an excuse. Chances are the camera wasn't loaded with film - so I guess you got lucky! |

I'm about 92% sure, when I look in my rear view mirror, that I saw a flash (looking at my speed at the time, I was speeding) but I only saw the one flash..  I thought they took 2 pictures? |
