Police Traffic Fines

By Matt Bingham

When you've got an automobile, and you are driving it in public in the UK, it is important to think about the various police traffic fines that you might be subjected to. These are all fines that you'll need to think about, so that you can know for sure you are operating your vehicle in the right way and you aren't allowing yourself to break any of the regulations.

Of all the driving related offences you will come across, the two most frequently broke are parking and speeding fines. The former is usually when breaking posted parking rules, and the latter for, as you guessed, for speeding.

The reason for using a car or bike is generally for getting from a to b, and if this is the case what you really need to know are the speed limits and where you can park. Driving safely involves a number of aspects, and driving without breaking law or parking rule is also a major concern for you.

The UK is a heavily regulated country (as we know!) and driving enforcement is a key area, which covers the good old parking ticket. Second only to the parking ticket, or maybe even in first place, is the speeding ticket. The simple rule is to observe and follow the posted rules for parking, and for speeding too. Keep an eye out, and be vigilant.

Did you know that the majority of police traffic fines are actually managed by local authorities, and not the police? Its true, whereas speeding fines are managed by the police directly, other aspects are managed by local government.

Although the police have overall authority on most parking and speeding fines, it may be that you end up dealing with a speed trap! If its not a traffic camera, it could be a speed trap or simply traffic cops - the point being that there are numerous ways to be caught. One area that people often forget is after the event, for example in a RTA (road traffic accident). This is when you are caught speeding after you have committed the offence, by careful analysis of your skid marks, which can be used to determine your speed.

When it comes to parking, most of the time the car that you are driving is the evidence of parking regulations that have been broken. Whether you are getting a notification of a ticket from a policeman or from a local authority, it is going to work in the same way. When your car does not follow or meet the regulation for parking, the policeman or the local attendant like parking attendant will put a police traffic fines notification on your vehicle. You'll then be responsible for it.

With both speeding and parking violations, it is important to remember that you will need to look at the actual ticket to determine what exactly you did wrong, what the fine is going to be, and how you should go about paying it. There are going to be several ways to pay the police traffic fines, depending on where you got it and what the local regulations are. Most of the time, you can pay it in person at the local council, and you can also pay it with a cheque that you send by post. However, in some places and some cities, there are other ways to pay your police traffic fines. You might be able to drop off the money in a drop box located in your city, and in some places, you can also pay the police traffic fines online.

If you decide that you were not at fault for the police traffic fines and want to argue them, it is important to first make sure that you have proof. Remember that the local authorities are going to have proof of the infraction that they say you did, so you need to have proof that you either did not do what they claim, or that there was some sort of extenuating circumstances. Be sure that you have this proof of your own before you begin the process. - 21396
