Earwig 89 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 What do you do with them?I ask becuase I had 1 about 3 years ago.......Came through the post saying...Were you the driver of this Phat VR doing 37 in a 30 zone I threw it in the bin and have heard nothing back from anyone to this very day. I have sonce known 3-4 other people do the same and simply not reply to the initial letter and none of them have ever heard anything either.............. :-* Today my Girlfriend has had a letter through saying were you the driver of the 2.0 Mk 3 GTI which is not as nice as the Phat VR your boyfriend drives......... :$ I am in 2 minds about just chucking it and again not replying but being a girl and all she is worried that the police will come knocking and lock her up to become a shower plaything for the lads at the local nick........... (6) Well.............What do you guys reckon? Any experiances?Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

Bezman 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Got flashed about a year ago and got the dreaded letter through the post telling me I was doing 37 in a 30 limit. So I paid the 60 quid and 3 points to go with it.And your telling me all I had to do is Bin it. Am I pissed ! :-( Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Same happened to me. Not sure if that bin it thing would have worked though. This was a forward facing camera which takes a beautiful shot of driver and passenger. The flash virtually blinded me and the missus but i thought it was for the car going in the opposite direction. Got the letter just inside the 14 day cut-off. Very pissed. :-( I thought that no matter what, if you are the registered owner you will get a letter asking whether you were driving or not. They usually see a failure to reply as an admission of guilt. Gits! Seeing as I got flashed from the front i didn't contest it or say "It wasn't me driving" as these pics don't really lieBeware of these forward facing cameras as there are no white lines on the road leading up to them. Also the new little ones which are up high on a pole. These have the lines on the road but DO NOT flash.Rant over Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I wouldnt mind so much if I'd got flashed in the VR but it was in my old Mk3 1.8 GL. 37mph in a 30 also cost me £60 and 3 points Link to post Share on other sites

Seademon 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just bin them - I try and get away with as much as possible really when you think about all of the imigrants in the country and what they get away with - you cant tel me that they would send their license off and pay the fine!

squirreleater 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Binning it is maybe not the best thing to do. But.. On the suzuki owners club forum we have lots of threads about speeding-as you do on bikes!Truth is, the system is almost totally reliant on people sending the fine and licence without questining it-they simply cannot cope if people start to demand photgraphic proof( your right by law) or any other 'stalling' methods. If we all did it the system would crash very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
MrsC 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 But don't forget guys that the police regularly scan forums such as this :@ , and like to hear such advice as 'ban your speeding tickets'. Gives them something to chase up - just a word of warning as I've seen it happen on a couple of other forums - maybe talk about it via PM or something :-* Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 What can they chase up though?Earwig's bird in a Mk3 GTI.........Gonna be a long shot :-)I gave no details for that kind of reason.........Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
