I know this is a potentially contentious topic so I will say straight away that the individual concerned knows they're in the wrong and was about to send of the fixed penalties until I told them to hang on.
As the title says, my Father was tootling (bless 'im) down to the West Country with my Mum along the A303. It seems he was tootling at 82mph (in a 70) and was caught at two mobile speed traps with a gap of just over 90 mins.
One was Hampshire constabulary, the other Avon and Somerset. So he's received two NIPs, two requests to send the licence in etc. Is this cut and dried and he should cough up or is there any leeway on this*
*my sort of logic being:
a). although the police snap you speeding at one moment in time, you could be done for speeding an infinite number of times over a given distance IYSWIM. Where is the line drawn?
b). what happens with, say the M25 cameras if you get done by a series of those - was it the case that people could lose their licence in a single journey by totting up or was that apocryphal?
