Do camera tickets count against your license in any way in London, or is the punishment limited to only monetary fines?
It may be the case that the cameras, if limited to only giving fines and not "points" (or the equivalent) on your license, do little more than create a two-tiered system: poor people who cannot speed, and rich people who are free to speed if they are willing to pay a token 'speeding tax'.
- anigbrowl 13y agoThe UK drivers license system is substantially similar, with points for infringements that stay on the license for 4 or 5 years.
- Crito 13y agoYeah, that's what I suspected. My question is if the traffic cameras can be used to put points on a license of a driver, or are only used to fine the owner of the vehicle. At least in the states I checked the last time I looked into it, things like red light cameras will not put points on your license, even though being caught running a red light by an actual police officer certainly would. If you are driving somebody else's car and a police officer catches you running a red light, you will receive a ticket and points on your license; if a camera catches you then the vehicle owner will receive a fine.
- anigbrowl 13y agoI believe that's correct, though as I don't drive I don't keep up with current practices.
