Can i avoid paying a speeding ticket in England?

Question

got caught doing 85 in 70 mph on a class road

Answer 1

Tell them the name of the driver, it was your friend Jean Pierre and his address is Flat 123 Francais House, Paris. Foreign forces will not be conducting enquiries on a matter this minor on behalf of the English police. The most likely outcome is the traffic department will send a few letters to this address, on not getting a reply they will just drop it as it is not a serious enough crime to be spending money on chasing up. You will of course be breaking the law by doing this, and if you got caught they will be stern with you, judges hate perverting the course of justice.  It might be worth the peace of mind to just take the three points like a man!

Answer 2

Yes,you can serve a prison sentence instead.

Answer 3

teach you not to register a car in your name wont it silly boy

Answer 4

Yeah you could let it escalate and simply give your stuff to bailiffs. Or you could leave the country, or...

Answer 5

come on live a bit, what are they going to do if you refuse to pay?

Answer 6

not easy, better to pay up and drive less speedily in future.

Answer 7

Of course you can----try leaving the country.

Answer 8

If you get caught then pay the fine.  I always think I pay for the times I got away with it.

Answer 9

Look out for the speed cameras , or just slow down you shouldn't be speeding in our country anyway speed in your own country not this one

Answer 10

You can contest it. For a price. 60% of people that do this, they get away with it.

If you are an honest person, your foot wouldn't be so heavy-you got caught, so just pay it. It's a small price for your freedom!

Answer 11

Not really....the longer you leave it, the higher the charge will get...unless of course, you can convince them that you weren't the driver?

Answer 12

Tell them that the person who was driving has died in the last few days.

You will need a suitable relavent death certificate.

It worked for me.

Good luck!!!

Bet you can't pull it off.

Go slower next time.
