No. You are still obliged to provide the information as requested. Failure to do so will result in prosecution.

Yes. An increase in safety cameras is not about punishing the motorist or generating revenue, but reducing casualties, saving lives and giving you ownership of road safety issues.

No. All monies are returned to Central Government funds. Law abiding citizens need not worry.

A safety awareness course may be offered for excess speed or red light offences, subject to certain criteria. If you are eligible you will be notified and provided with further details when you receive a conditional offer or fixed penalty.

No. If you receive a fixed penalty, the fine is set by the Government and therefore not negotiable. The penalty set by the Government is £60.00 plus three penalty points on your licence.

No, there is no facility for this.

Payment information will be provided once driver details have been confirmed.

They are. All fixed speed cameras have a secondary check system whereas the mobile cameras are staffed.

Only the initial Notice of Intended Prosecution issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle has to be received within 14 days of the alleged offence. Any subsequent notices issued to nomiated drivers can be issued up to 6 months after the date of the alleged offence.

The visibility of all speed cameras is checked on a regular basis. All camera sites are visible from a reasonable distance. Speed limit signs will indicate the correct speed to you. Camera signs and fluorescent strips or bright yellow camera housings will indicate where cameras are located. Stick to the speed limit and be aware of the road and weather conditions. Failure to not see the camera does not excuse speeding.

No, prior driving history/clean licences are not taken into consideration.

The Camera Enforcement Office utilises a combination of rear facing, front facing and mobile camera sites. The readings from both types of fixed camera sites are confirmed by the use of secondary check marks. While rear facing cameras use a series of check marks in the road directly after the camera. The readings from front facing cameras are confirmed by the use of three check marks located on the approach to the camera site. The mobile camera sites utilise laser technology to detect and record speeding offences. As mobile cameras are a staffed devide no secondary check marks are required.

This is not an excuse. All drivers must drive within the law, and the limits that are set.

You should be able to comply unless: You currently have 9 or more penalty points. You will not be eligible to take part in the conditional offer scheme due to the "totting-up" procedure. If 12 or more points are accumulated within any three year rolling period, the driver is liable for disqualifcation. This will require a Court apperance (you will be unable to accept the offer and should wait to receive further corresnpondence).

Casualty figures show that fatal crashes still regularly occur during these hours and therefore your speed is very important. Remember that late night/early morning driving could mean reduced visibility, tiredness and reduced alertness.

By the time you reach the speed limit sign you must be doing the speed limit or under. Do not treat speed limits as a target.

It is the owner/registered keeper's responsibility to nominate a driver. Up-to-date and accurate records of who was driving the vehicle should be kept to supply this. If you do not provide the information requested, the company could go to Court for failing to provide the necessary details.

The Camera Enforcement Office cannot enter into any mitigation concerning camera offences. If you do not wish to accept the fixed penalty you should request a Court hearing. This request must be made in writing and sent to the Camera Enforcement Office within 28 days statutory time limits.

Failure to respond within 28 dyas of the date of the notice will result in your case being passed to the courts for failing to comply. Failure to complete and return the notice could incur a fine of up to £1,000 plus 6 driving licence penalty points.

Contrary to some reports, Section 172 (7) of the Road Traffic Act states that the notice should be returned signed. If a notice is returned unsigned then the driver will be summonsed for 'failing to identify the driver'.

It is the responsibility of the registered/nominated keeper to supply details to identify the driver at the time of the alleged offence. Failure to do so will result in the keeper being charged with a similar offence and a court summons issued.
