Unlucky, mine was no more that 2 weeks each time I've had that done. As a metter of interest, at what speed were you caught at and in what limit? The reason I ask is that I got camera'd at 78 in a 70 zone near manchester recently and current guidlines are that you are allow 10% of the limit plus 2mph so you can get away with 35 in a 30, 46 ina 40, 57 in a 50 etc. I got away with mine, if you're in those limits, post back, I'll sort a draft letter for you or email my letter and help you save your 3 points and fine.

Cheers for now

It may not help me, i got caught last week on a dual carriageway doing 48 in a 40!

Monstersdad, i was caught doing 54mph on alan turing way, manchester, which is a 30 mph road. oops! i didn't know that there was a camera on there, but i know i shouldn't have been going that fast anyway.

do u know if it is possible to request the photo evidence they have of me?

thanks
