Speeding Ticket NI

djfattony2000

Hows it going,

I work in Ireland for a UK company, that requires me to drive a lease car from England (yellow reg). I got caught speeding by a camera in Belfast. The company got a ticket and had to give the police in NI my details.

What happens now does anyone know?

I'm guessing I wont get any points, but will have to pay a fine...

Ya, as your company got the letter you will need to ay the fine, otherwise a company director may be responsiable! If you have an Irish license you won't get points.



O, and I'll give it ten minutes until the high horse, "you should'nt have been speeding" brigade get here.:D

I know, they'd be right too

Yeh there was no mention of a fine in the ticket, they just said that they wanted the details of the driver.

I'd say they will probably send it to my house.

Getting caught in NI does not even give you pionts in the rest of the UK , I doubt you will get pionts in the republic

There has been much debate in the Republic about how
effective penalty points have been, and there are still some
IT difficulties to be dealt with. Nonetheless, the system is
in place. The penalty point system in Northern Ireland is
different from that in England, Scotland andWales. In the
United Kingdom, there are two separate systems; one
system in England, Scotland and Wales and another system
in Northern Ireland. Clearly, we see a need for co-ordination.
We are not arguing that this be approached on a
UK-basis immediately. It can be done as a stand-alone
measure between both jurisdictions, North and South, in an
attempt to change driver behaviour, and we will pressure
both Governments on the matter in the coming months.

By the way lads keep whoever this lad is out.

It is a bit funny alright. I had an NI licence but when I did direct access in England for my full motorbike licence I had to replace my NI licence for a normal UK one.

I knew there was DVLA & DVLA NI but I did not realise the separation even went as far as peno point. This is good news, now I can speed on the whole Island! Not that I would of course....
