gort Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 will it be a fixed fine of £60 + 3 points?, it's well over a decade since I was fined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 At 35mph - you may be offered one of the "Speed Awareness Courses" which will cost you £85 (instead of £60) but you'll not get any endorsements or points (Provided you haven't done a course in the last couple of years) Feel for you - last time I was done was for 36mph on the way back from Ludlow - but I wasn't allowed to take the course as I'd done one last year. . .Ahem . . . North Wales police are manic about their speed enforcements, and there's nothing you can do about it as it has no relation to safety, it's just a way of taxing the motorist for as much money as they can soak out of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) That'll be this one, 3rd busiest camera in Flintshire apparently. You'll almost certainly get the offer of a speed awareness course if you have a clean license. I believe the triggering point for points on your license in North Wales is 42. At one time you had to come to North Wales to "serve" your course but I'm pretty sure you can do them locally now.

gort Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 would I need I believe the triggering point for points on your license in North Wales is 42. Pete so are you saying I may not get points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yes, as long as you attend the course you'll get no points. Once you've filled the forms in and sent them back you'll get an offer to attend a course. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 And remember, the course is not a conviction. So when asked at insurance renewal time. The answer is no. But some companies are now asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Do everything online ... that way you'll get away with a course even if you've had one in a different area within the last three years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Do everything online ... that way you'll get away with a course even if you've had one in a different area within the last three years I don't know how it's done in other areas but North Wales Police require that you send the form to their central ticketing office and it has to be signed. You can only start the online process once you've received the offer from the police. I would imagine that all speeding offences are recorded on The PNC and that North Wales Police will check any previous convictions or speed awareness courses attended before they decide how to handle your case. Of course, I'm presuming that SAC's are recorded on the PNC and not just locally. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The difference between doing it on line and by post is that you don't have to declare if you've been there before ... and they don't check or didn't last time I looked if it was in a different police area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny the mod Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Very unlucky my friend. I deliver mail near Ponybodkin and know the postie who covers that round, who has told me it does not have film in all the time. It used to be terrible around here when the last Chief Ins was in charge... Most cameras now dont work, you just have to keep your eyes open for them sitting on their bonnets with their guns.. I will have a word with the postie tommorrow and get him to poo on it for you. Hope that helps. Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I think its right that the speed awareness course is classed as a conviction as the offence still took place Really you should just get the option to not pay the fine but still get the points...
