On the nit front, you may have had a verbal one at the roadside but you will almost certainly receive a written one in the post (which will probably be a pre formatted thing), they need to send it to you within 14 days or they cant proceed.

I live 500m from my local primary school and take my eldest there on foot every morning avoiding the, speeding,kerb parking ars****s in the process.Speed bumps ,20 mph zone etc and have yet to see any form of enforcement .It seems that the issue of road safety has become synonymous with high speed and the lack of driving skill/risk assessment is no longer relevant.
Coming back from the Ace meet ,midnight,M1, no traffic, well lit,high performance/designed car +120 .If stopped ,banned,points ,loss of livelihood .
8.45 am ,residential area ,primary school ,speed bumps ,20 mph limit , not a snowballs chance in hell of any enforcement

Not so. If they gave a verbal one on the side of the road, the postal one doesn't need to be within 14 days, in fact you don't need to expect one at all. Pepipoo is the best site of all

Coming back from santa pod today I was pulled over and caught doing 101MPH by the polizia. was at around 6pm on the M1 heading into london, near Neasden. I was speeding for around 15 seconds while overtaking a Merc, who then chased me for a bit, but they only pulled me over, and the Merc got away!! They recorded my speed using designated markings on the road.
Has anyone got any advice . I know im stupid to be speeding there of all places.
I had 3 points over 4 years ago, which i think will have cleared now.----Am i looking at a ban???
THANKS,
Shadi

Get yourself a yellow Smart car like Mr dell and you will never get caught going over the speed limit again!!! the engine will blow up before then
