Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hope someone can give some advice on this little problem.
I was driving my brother-in-laws car down to Leeds last week. He has just received a letter saying I was clocked at 79mph in a 70mph zone. I remember the camera. It was on a van up on a bridge over the m-way.
The letter states that they have photographic evidence. Is my brother-in-law legally obliged to provide the drivers details.
I will, of course, pay the fine as it was my fault for speeding. But I just wondered how things work in this case.
Your brother in law, if he is the registered keeper of the vehicle, will be obliged to provide the details of who was driving the vehicle to the police. Once he has done this then they will write to you and you will need to reply to them to confirm that you were the driver. They will then make a conditional offer of a fixed penalty which will mean a £60 fine and 3 points on your licence. This will be dependent on how may points you already have. If adding 3 points brings you up to 12 within the last 3 years then it will mean a court appearance.
You might also get an offer of a speed awareness course, given the fact you were only 9mph above the limit, (if the force concerned run one). If this is an option I would grasp it with both hands and take it as it means no endorsement or points on your licence and no requirement to declare it to your insurance company.
Speeding Fine !!
