Default Bit O.T. Speeding ... ?

Does anyone know for sure whether getting flashed three times on the same
stretch of motorway within minutes, constitutes three offences for 180
quid fine and 9 points ?

Daughter reckons that she might have got had more than once this morning
in her company car on a section of the M1 at the south end, where the
back-facing gantry cameras have not been on for a couple of years. She
reckons that she was not much over the top - for a change - but probably
enough to have tripped them. I've not been able to find much info on
multiple instances on the same stretch. Lots of barrack room lawyers
huffing and puffing and giving opinions based on nothing, but no
definitive answer.

Anyone on here suffered this and knows for sure, or who has a link to
somewhere on t' interweb that details exactly what the situation is ?


She's going Daaaaaahn ...

I presume you're talking about the dunstable - Luton (junc 11-9) area


Correct ...


I've never seen a flash from those gantry cameras... until today when I
was going past in a northerly direction. LOTS of vehicles got flashed in
the southerly direction.


That was what she found. She said that she could not recall them being on in
the last couple of years. She has been travelling that section regularly for
the last 9 years as she was at university in Kingston, and back and forth
all the time, before then living down there, then coming back up here, and
starting the job that takes her back most days. Still, she was southbound at
the time, and if you saw a lot of southers getting flashed, that doesn't
bode well for her ...

I think you can get multiple offences to be "taken into consideration",
but I'm not certain
