All of it has been said above really. Front facing camera won't get your plate, so IF anything comes of it, it's because the operator wrote down your plate. IF they did that, it was dark, lights on, how much did the camera see?

The little tripod outside the van could be a little trick they use to stop glare. On some of the vans they have a glass/plastic cover over the camera. Put a flash inside this at night and you get a nice picture of a speedcamera! So on these vans, they put a little flasher unit outside the van.

As has also been said, it could of been the ANPR setup, but I'm not sure how reliable the ANPR's OCR systems are at night with headlights.

the little box was about 10 inches by 10 inches i recon and it was below my headheight on the motorcycle,

it was just a grey box with a lense and wires coming out of the back.

how do these speed traps record your speed at night ? i cant find much info at the moment on them, so am a little confused,

if they use an infra red camera, they wouldnt need a flash, but surely there wouldh have been some glare from inside the van, i doubt that thing on the tripod was big enough to give out a powerful beam of infra red light.

if they are thermal, they wouldnt be able to read your plate,

if there like a gatso, they wouldnt flash oncoming traffic surely and it would have been placed above head height.

well at the end of the day, im not gonna pretend i did nothing wrong,
i did.

i knew the law,
i chose to break it,
and im going to pay the consenquences.

ok, just want to check this.

so if the NIP hasnt arrived on my doorstep within 14 days, i am in the clear ?

or is it 14 WORKING days to arrive on my doorstep from the date of the offence ?

I'm sure it's 30 days!!! but they usually arrive within a fortnight!!

cant see how if they flash you from front, THEN write down the number cant prove its that bike! Without photo evidence..say it wasn't you

Front-facing cameras don't flash.

It's 14 calendar days starting from the first working day after the alleged offence. For you that will be Monday 30th October.

Remember, too, that its 14 days in which to post the NIP to the registered keeper, not 14 days for it to have arrived. If in doubt then try to keep the envelope with the post-mark intact as this is what the Courts will accept as evidenceas to the date of posting. The date on the letter inside might be a day or two earlier.
