Yup think i've been caught about 30 mins ago in Luton but i'm not 100% sure.

I was doing over 40 in a 40 zone and I went past a cam, didn't notice it till I drove past it on the way back. Takes the piss even more as I wasn't meant to be on the road as I accidently came on it..

How many mph would they let me off in a 40 and how long would a ticket usually take to come?

Edit: I was doing over 45 I think.

I think you have a 10% allowance over the limit so if your doing 44 you get the option of the Safety Awareness course.

They have to send you a letter within 14 days or they can't persue the prosecution, so start counting your days and pray day 15 comes and you havent got a letter.

That is my assumption so if its wrong i apologise.

How much would I have to pay for the course?

And is this if I only have 3 points?

The 14 day rule is not crap. If you dont recieve your NIP within 14 days they cannot prosecute unless they are having difficulty tracking you down or there is a postal strike.

Aparently it's not a speed camera but one for traffic lights - lets hope so.

It bloody looked like a speed camera.
