Don't think they need to have signs up for the mobile guns and you should see something drop on your doorstep in roughly 3-4 weeks if they got you. Thats how long mine took to come through.

you should have just thrown it in the bin then murray...it has to arrive within 14 days of the offence, if it arrives after 14 days it is null and void.

keep your fingers crossed!!! was it a man with a gun or was it a mobile van? if it was a van it may well have just been doing vehicle checks (tax mot etc)

Not strictly correct, 14 days from the day the driver is identified. For example, it was your car and someone else was driving, they send the keeper (you) the NIP. You reply saying who was driving and then they have 14 days from when that reply was sent back and then they send the NIP to that person and so on. That could go on for six months (might even be 12 months for speeding offences, can't be sure) but after that the time limit for prosecution has expired.

to busy looking at him to see how fast i was going and what i had slowed down to.

Fair bet that you may already have been caught whether you slowed down or not if it was a laser cam as they have a fairly long range.Slowing down wouldn't have made a difference.
