Avoiding Points and Fines on your Driving Licence: Other Speed Cameras:

Yellow Speed Cameras:
Most of this type of camera (the camera you will see most often) are on main roads into towns and villages, and some (less commonly) are on the roads out of town. Many are placed near schools, which is understandable. In the UK you will see plenty of warning signs as you approach a camera– a simplistic camera on a white background (although the camera itself is yellow). Officially, these speed cameras are designed to slow the vehicular traffic on the road, and not to simply catch people out and make money. But it is also believed that the money generated from speeding fines are used to help fund local policing, road policing and road safety. There is truth in both ideas - regardless of what you might read in the press!

Variable Speed Limit Cameras
Motorways around cities such as London and Birmingham now have Variable Speed limits imposed to help control the weight of traffic. These can be critical for speeding drivers, and it is vital to stick to the speed limits shown on the bridge you pass under - which can change frequently minute by minute. Other cities may also get them also.

This site gives information, advice, help, hints, tips about how to get rid of points from your driving licence, or how to avoid points on your driving license or how to stop getting points on your licence/license/lisence.
 

Average speed cameras:
Can be very nasty cameras that record the AVERAGE speed you travel between two points, often several miles apart. These are most commonly used on long term roadworks on motorways and some large A roads. It is very easy not to spot the initial warning sign (which will normally not be shown until the speed limit is actually reduced) and to slightly exceed the set limit over the set distance can be cause for you to receive a fine.

3 points on your licence can have a big effect on your life, so we aim to show you the best way to avoid getting the points, especially those you received as a result of speed cameras or a roadside speeding ticket from a police officer

Laser gun cameras
These are frequently operated in daylight hours, often by specialist police units (not normal patrol officers) and are moved around to various strategic pre-set points, either on fast-road bridges or on roads on the outskirts of towns/villages. They are usually only in place for a few hours, before being moved on to the next spot. Local campaigners may campaign against speeding in a particular spot (near a park, for example), and so the cameras are used in that location in response to their complaints.

Speeding tickets or speed cameras can give you speeding points or penalty points which could lose your licence. Let us help you to avoid you losing your licence and getting the points. Going to court because of a speeding ticket or speeding fine or any other kind of traffic offence, can mean a driving ban, which you will need to avoid.

The hand held laser gun unit needs to be held very steadily by the officer, and requires a fairly long section of road in order to accurately register the number. They're always very careful to ensure no accident will be caused or is likely to be caused by a target car which decides to suddenly stop after seeing the camera. As a warning to drivers, normally when you see a straight road ahead for 200 meters, a brightly coloured van will be parked on the side, often accompanied by the typical speed camera sign.

You must avoid a driving ban and get off a speeding fine, as this is very serious. Get advice on the court process and how to defend yourself at court and avoid getting a ban or points on your licence.
