Answer
A fixed penalty fine is currently £60 and a minimum of three penalty points are endorsed on your licence. For additional information on prosecution procedure click here.

Answer
The New Drivers Act applies to individuals who passed their test on or after 1st June 1997. If you reach 6 or more penalty points within two years of passing your test, your driving licence is automatically revoked. To regain your full licence, you must drive as a learner and take both the theory and practical tests again. Penalty points counting towards the total of six include any you incurred before passing the test, as long as the offence took place not more than three years before the latest penalty point offence. Points imposed after the probationary period will also count if the offence was committed during that period. Passing the retest does not remove penalty points from your licence and if the total reaches 12, you are liable to be disqualified by a court.

Answer
For all offences committed on or after April 1st 2009 you can now, providing you qualify to do so, elect to be dealt with by fixed penalty. Please see "Can I be dealt with by fixed penalty without having to go to court?"

Answer

Answer:
Yes, but only if you have 8 or fewer penalty points on your driving licence and the recorded speed is less than;

Answer
In normal circumstances legislation requires that the Notice is posted to the registered owner or keeper within 14 days of the offence and the Suffolk Safety Camera Partnership complies with this requirement. If your notice arrives after this (allowing for the postal service), you may have subsequently been named as the driver, keeper or hirer.

Answer
You need to advise this in writing to the Central Ticket Office (giving your date of birth) confirming that you were the driver at the time of the offence. You can contact the Central Ticket Office by email at ctoenquiries@suffolk.pnn.police.uk You will also need to contact the DVLA on 08702 400009 for a replacement/duplicate licence.

Answer
As the registered owner / keeper/ person responsible for the vehicle you have a legal duty to provide details of who was driving at the time of the offence. Failure to provide this information could result in prosecution under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Failure to complete and return the driver information form may result in the registered keeper being prosecuted for failing to provide the required information and if found guilty courts can now impose a fine and 6 penalty points.

Answer
No, the Human Rights Act does not affect section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which states that you are obliged to provide the information requested and failure to do so could result in prosecution.
