    Should think it goes to the named driver of the vehicle

    The registered keeper is Motability Operations. This means the police contact Motability first, and Motability then tell them who the hirer of the vehicle is. The police then send the penalty notice directly to the person named on the lease.

    The police send the first letter to Motability, and that’s the one that has to be sent within 14 days. After Motability pass on the driver’s details, the police send the notice to the person named on the lease. The important bit is this, your own deadline only starts from the date on the letter you receive.

    Simple solution, don't speed, people who drive, for want of a better word, a normal car get done for it, why shouldn't a Motability driver?

    Mobility wouldn’t know who was driving though, would they. The camera will have caught the driver only, they will contact mobility for your address and proceed from their.

    There isn’t any way to check if a notice is on the way, you just have to wait for the letter.  At 18 days, it still doesn’t tell you anything either way.  And remember, a lot of places were closed for four days over Easter, so things will have been slower than usual.

    You might be lucky and not get a notice at all,  that does happen. But the flash itself doesn’t tell you whether anything will come, because some cameras still flash as a deterrent even if they are not actively enforcing.

    Ours flashes all the time on the main rd, and it flashed when a jogger went passed. They have been to flash when you’re following an high side lorry with the plate at the top.

    All around Bristol it’s 20 mph it’s ridiculous .the camera I went passed did not flash at all it wasn’t the normal big yellow box it been replaced with a small one and not yellow you hardly see. it kids on the electric scooters goes faster than 20 mph and on the roads with two people on sometimes when you keep to 20 mph the verbal abuse from other drivers is so bad cus you won’t go faster .I find myself constantly looking at my speed driving isn’t enjoyable no more

    it wasn’t the normal ones like the big yellow box it’s been replaced with a small one and not yellow you never know it was their and it did not flash. it’s hard as bristol is 20 mph the electric scooters goes faster with kids on and sometimes with two people on even push bikes go faster than the 20 mph

    Whilst I echo the sentiment and agree … with the 20mph's everywhere here in Wales, sometimes it's difficult not to creep above that 20. I know people who've been done for 23 mph in a zone that was 30 mph last year. I've even done it
