Answer 1

its normal for speed cop to give you ticket there & then,

i think he might be trying to scare the **** out of you & cause you some sleepless nights,

but he might have run out of tickets so its a case of waite & see

Answer 2

if you were pulled over you would have been given a fixed penalty notice there and then , you will not recieve a ticket infine in the post you only recieve these if tou have been caught on camera. I doubt you will recieve a ticket at all, you mat recieve a notice of intended prosecution because you may have exceeded the speed limit by more than double the prescribed limit or maybe to were on the motorway and you had exceeded 100 mph. or maybe you had more than enough points already on your licence and the officer could not issue a ticket for the offence because it would take you over the 12 point limit and you would be due a mandatory driving ban.

and the clincher comes when you say he never asked for ID or your name you aint been done mate if he dont know your name or address you are safe he let you off

Answer 3

Something missing here, did he tell you that you would be reported for the offence, or did he just give you an earful.



From what you say, it looks like you got away with it this time. Normally the police would either give you a ticket on the spot or issue you with a "notice of intended prosecution" and you would be asked for your name, if only to check it was your vehicle.



Sounds like he was being forgiving and let you go with a b ollocking (and possibly a breath test).

Answer 4

The papers would not be sent through the post because the officer would have to admit his mistake. Can you imagine the police writing to you for the name and address of the driver when they spoke to you at the time? It is technically possible though, but a notice must be sent to you within 14 days (but not necessarily received by you in that time).

Answer 5

If the Officer did not give you a ticket, did not caution you, did not give you a Notice of Intended Prosecution (or you don't get it by post within 7 days) you can assume the matter is dead.

Answer 6

Perhaps. Many cities are using cameras to capture people speeding and running red lights. A clear view of your license plate will give the police your name and address. It may be on its way but if you weren't handed anything I wouldn't worry. Just out to scare you.

Answer 7

The officer can ID you via your registration. It is possible to send citations via the mail. Give it 2-3 weeks, and check the address you have on your current registration.

Answer 8

Sorry, but yes they come through the post. I think the current rate is £60 if paid straight away and 3 points on your license.

Answer 9

well if you get caught by a speed camera then you get a fine through the post so its probably the same for on the spot offences.

Answer 10

He'll get it from your Reg - the dirty b.astard

The police in this c.unt-ry are lazy s.hits. They care more about making money than stopping and solving REAL crimes.

Answer 11

yes usually they send the fine frought the post

and they collect your details of your car/bike from the plates and that gives the address to you this is to make it easy for them instead of chasing and following you

Answer 12

Yes and they come by first class mail because that's fast as well.

Answer 13

Yes, i'm afraid they do. Can take a few weeks to come through.

Answer 14

If you need cash, McDonalds pay about £5.60 per hour.

Answer 15

yes, sure will.

he doesnt need your id or name. he'll just go check your reg no. and get address from there.



WHY THE THUMBS DOWN?

Answer 16

yes..
