M62 JCT 29 & 30 fines cancelled!

If you or anyone you know has been caughton the cameras between JCT 29 & 30 on the M62 and paid the fine, you should be able to claim the fine back and have the points removed due to what we have discovered.

A DriveProtect Member (Peter Hall) recently received TWO tickets on this stretch of road
within one week of each other.

Our Defence guys headed up by Matthew Coxall sprung in to action and we got both NIPs cancelled.

Here’s how:

We requested calibration certificate for the cameras from West Yorkshire Police as on their website, there was no certificate displayed.

Instead of a copy of the certificate, Peter was sent a duplicate of the original NIP.

Undeterred, we requested a copy of the certificate again, as well as asking some questions about the signage on the road and requesting the Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO).

Then, on 25th July (just 6 days after the original alleged offence), Peter received another NIP from the same cameras for driving at 58mph in a 50mph limit — the same speed as the first alleged offence.

Peter was assured verbally by West Yorkshire Police that they did have the Calibration
Certificate and they were just waiting for their website to be updated so that it would be
showing.

As it turned out, the Police quickly dropped both NIP’s, sighting the road signage issues as the reason.

However, Peter is convinced that the real reason is in fact that they never had the Calibration Certificate in the first place.

If you have been caught on this stretch of road and paid the fine then you should write to West Yorkshire Police asking for the Calibration Certificate for the camera that captured the alleged offence.

If they can not supply it, you should request that the fine be refunded and points deducted
from your licence.

All the best,

Adam

  2. Hiya Danny here was pulled up by the police,given a ticket for parking on the hard shoulder of the motorway.
    Given a fixed penalty notice or go to court.I chose the later.
    At the same time digicard was checked.He said you have over driven on your driving hours.
    At any time I was NOT given a ticket for the driving hours infringement.
    Case proceeded to court.I defended myself brought up the driving infringement matte,The Judge sitting just questioned me about the parking on the hard shoulder on the motorway.
    Case was dismissed on medical grounds.
    This was 2013 November.
    Move forward to November 2016 three separate deductions totalling £420:00 .Under the heading Fines Enforcement.
    In my opinion they are basically saying we are Judge jury and excecutioner.
    To the present date and time.
