Has anybody been caught in a 7.5 tonne zone? If so, is it a fine and points or just a fine?
Whilst finding my destination in early hours of day accidentally went into one, didn’t see the sign until I was committed to make the turn. At that point I stopped but decided to drive thru it as it was safer to do that than reverse back into a cross roads. Suppose you can only get done of someone saw me… What are your thoughts…
I got caught once in ipswich. Drove down a 7.5 limit and a little camera car went the opposite direction and got me. Received a letter from said council telling me my vehicle details have been logged and if I do it again and get caught, I will be finned and even banned from that area. They le me explain in the letter that I was new to the area and didn’t know the roads very well. They fell for it and gave me a warning. Same sort of thing happened again driving across Blackheath commom in london. Only thos time a motorist grassed me up. But I explained to the council that its the official diversion route for over hight and hazardous vehicles. They quickly dropped that one too.

Sounds like they do give you a chance to speak with it then,
