Speed Cameras Question

Hi everyone

My soon to be father in law drove my car today and unfortunately went by a blue fixed speed camera in his village doing around 60, the limit is I believe,50.

He seemed to think the camera was only for show but who knows.

I was wondering how long it could take for the penalty notice to come through and if they allow for going slightly over the limit like in the UK.

thanks

This was in the province of Belluno and it was one of the older style blue speed cameras. If anything was to come through, how soon would it usually be?

thanks

I would not know how long the processing might take - but you are in theory you are liable to have to pay the fine up to 5 years after the infringment. You are "safe" after 5 years.
In practice you are notified normally after 30/45 days.
