[QUOTE="RachelD, post: 1607503, member: 220257"] I was travelling along the M4 during the week and I decided to overtake a vehicle and so was in the fastest lane. I think I was doing around 80-85mph ish. I then noticed a speed camera van on a bridge facing towards me. I slowed down but I don't think i slowed down quick enough by the time i had seen it. Do they catch you coming towards it or after it? By the time i was going under the bridge, i was doing 70mph and after that too, but beforehand i was going faster. I couldn't break too much too quickly because an accident would have been caused otherwise seeing as i was in the fastest lane and there was traffic behind me. I didn't see any other cameras along the road or on any bridges so i don't think that means they were doing the average speed check? Or am i wrong? Ive only been driving a year and a half so im only allowed 6 points on my license and already have 3 thanks to another policeman with a speed camera gun on a quiet road, situated in a very dodgy place! that was a year ago though. If i do get a notice regarding this incident, can i appeal against it in anyway and if i cant, will i get the 6 points and lose my license? Thanks P.S Does anybody know of an online site to check your driving convictions, such as to see what the driving offence was and the date of it?
