"Well it finally happened I did 27 in 20mph zone and caught on camera. Now had letter advising me I will be prosecuted and to complete a form to confirm my details. I've lived for past 30 years in England and when I've gone over limit there I just got a fixed penalty notice to pay a fine and get points on license or pay instead to go on speed awareness course. So what happens in these cases in Wales?" If it's your first offence they offer you a speed awareness course (which you can do on-line via Zoom) for a fee, the price depends which company you select who does the course. Alternatively it's a £100 fine plus 3 points on your licence. If it's a second offence within 3 years it's an automatic £100 fine plus 3 points. | |||

"Thanks for the info. It's the same as in England then. Just got to get a bank loan to afford a stamp now lol..." Go for the course if given the option..it's a giggle and actually quite informative. I did one about 4 years ago and my hubby did one about a fortnight ago. | |||

"Stick to speed limit or maybe move back to englund!" So can you hand on heart say you have never gone over the speed limit? Know someone recently was done for 23 in a 20, so easy to go over just that little bit. | |||

"Stick to speed limit or maybe move back to englund!" Simplistic suggestion from a Little Welshlander. A lot of the 20mph restrictions are impractical an make no sense. There is a lot of talk about reviewing the policy and it could well be a main issue in next year's Senedd elections. | |||

"Stick to speed limit or maybe move back to englund!" I'm not disputing I exceeded the limit I was just seeking info on the fine procedure. There are 20mph limits in England too by the way. But they're more appropriately designated. But I am not even disputing the positioning of the one I was caught by. The whole 20mph issue is a different debate. | |||

"Stick to speed limit or maybe move back to englund!" So helpful. Maybe you should go to English lessons and learn to spell, rather then knock someone who made a mistake. We are all human. | |||

"It's utter nonsense. I'd take the points. I'd never be able to keep my gob closed on a speed awareness course for 20mph. Sorry you got caught. " I did one years ago in England for doing 32 in a 30mph area. No point in arguing about the circumstances or right or wrongs of the 20mph policy. The people running the courses have no influence on the policy and are just doing a job. Better to grin and bare it for hour or so to avoid the points. Because frankly it's just too easy to take your foot of the brake for a few seconds and get caught again. | |||

So if you’re in excess of the speed limit, you’re not speeding ? | |||

Pathetic " 20mph makes sense in some places e.g. town centres, near schools, hospitals, play grounds, shopping centres etc but not approach rods to towns where there is little or no housing or industrial estates. Also it often makes no sense. I know of two very small quiet villages on B roads where the 30mph has been reduced to 20mph, yet another village, on an A road with a garage/mini-supermarket/cafe, has retained it's 30mph. Doesn't make sense. But, of course, anyone living in the Cardiff bubble wouldn't know about such things. | |||

"When these speed limits were set originally we were driving on crossply tyres with drum brakes and the stopping distances were part of the highway code Now we have radial tyres discs all round and abs braking systems The motoring world has moved on. Highly populated areas, the roads outside schools hospitals should have a lower speed limit Some of these twenty mile areas are just a cash making exercise " Guess what Stopping distances have hardly improved in the last 50 years MIRA have proven it several times The main reason being , the driver behind the wheel | |||

"It's simply another Example of idiotic taffia desperately eanting to be seen and heard ..it's a quiet country! Poor souls not very bright. History is full of these idiots taking common sense things And changing them to make them "better". Don't worry, they re out next election, no mistake. Pay it, dontgo on a course for goodness sake and make a point of not going there again. Nothing in Wales that can't be found in England, Scotland and Ireland and all better. " They won’t be out at the next Senedd election The red loving sheep will still vote for them They are incapable of voting any other way | |||

"Don't visit Wales some roads are fifty miles an hour that shouldn't be " Yes I fell foul of one of those recently, 50mph limit on M4 when I researched it I found it's put in place for emission reasons! Considering it's next to Port Talbot steelworks which up until last September was spewing all sorts out is a bit of a joke. | |||

"Lots of casual racism posted. Do you honestly think us Welsh want the forced upon us 20mph limits? We had no choice! Latest polls show Reform is surging in Wales. I can't wait for the arrogant Senedd members to get voted out." I agree. We never asked for these impractical speed limits. They just seemed to happen. Very badly thought out. As for the Senedd elections--exactly one year today I believe--I honestly don't know what the outcome will be. Worse scenario Plaid Cymru will form a government backed up by Labour and Libdems. In other words:-same old, same old. | |||

"They save lives and millions of pounds to the government and insurance companies. Cry harder! PS never heard of prosecution, infact, I just got a warning - shot across the bowels as it were Must be to do with your records " "Cry harder" sees to be the smug buzz-phrase from the left now they have the upper hand in governments. The point is that it was an ill-thought-out blanket restriction. It makes sense in some places but not others. It also looks like it could be a major issue in next year's Senedd elections. BTW I hope your bowels have recovered. Plenty of bowel calming medicines that can be bought without prescription  | |||
