(edit title) Caught speeding by mobile camera What next? Options

[oOjimOo]

I was driving down a quiet 70 road outside Kristianstad this morning and I was caught speeding by a mobile camera. I dot usually speed, so it was a bit of a shock. I had noticed the van parked up about 100 meters away and had reduced my speed from 80 down to 70 and thought that I would be OK, but as I came closer to the van I was flashed. I was driving my company van at the time. What happens next?

First of all, I have been told that although I got flashed it dosent necessarily mean that I was caught speeding, but I doubt that is right.

Secondly, I'd assume that any ticket would be sent to my employeer to whom the van is registered - but isnt there something about the fine being against the driver and not the vechicle?

Thirdly, in other parts of Europe speeding attracts penalty points - what is the case here in Sweden? I have a Swedsih driving licence.

It depends - there needs to be a clear photo that identifies you and the car registration - sometimes the pictures are poor quality and no fine is ever issued

Secondly, I'd assume that any ticket would be sent to my employeer to whom the van is registered - but isnt there something about the fine being against the driver and not the vechicle?

As you were in a company car you mauywell get away with it - it depends on company policy - the company is under no obligation to report who was driving

Thirdly, in other parts of Europe speeding attracts penalty points - what is the case here in Sweden? I have a Swedsih driving licence.

currentlt you lose your licence for

3 speeding offences within 1 year

or

4 speeding offences within 2 years

If you are caught doing serious speeding you lose your licence at once

Thanks for that Puffin. Can you tell me if it is simply an issue of paying a fine or will it involve a court appearence?

It is only a court matter if you go fast enough to lose you license, i.e. over 100 on a 70 stretch.
For lower speeds you will just get an invoice in the mail... if they can identify you as the driver...
