- Free WiFi wherever you go, and the deals worth walking to. Purple maps thousands of WiFi hotspots so you're never stuck without signal, and now maps the offers around you too. Food, drink and days out from venues across the city, in one place. - Deals, already mapped for you We've done the looking. Offers from venues near you, plotted on a map so you can see what's on right now. No codes to remember, no sign-ups, no coupons to wave at anyone. Walk in and it's there. - Set it up once, then forget it Add a WiFi Pass and you're done for good. In participating venues you're connected the moment you arrive, with nothing to tap, no login screen and no password to find. - Keep your data for when you need it Every venue you connect to is data you don't spend. Automatic WiFi means your data plan goes on the ride home, not the two hours you spent in a café. Know what's around you - Bars, coffee, somewhere to eat before the thing you're late for. Purple shows you what's nearby and what's worth going to.

About

SpeedCheck UK

Read full description

SpeedCheck UK helps you understand UK speeding notice timelines in a calm, simple way. If you think you’ve been caught by a speed camera (or another offence that uses a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP)), you can start a countdown from the alleged offence date and get reminders as key days approach. Key features: 14-day countdown from the alleged offence date Day 10 / Day 14 / Day 15 reminders (optional notifications) Multiple countdowns (Pro) for different incidents or vehicles Ticket Check (Pro): enter key dates from a notice and get a plain-English summary of what the timeline may mean Archive past countdowns for reference What SpeedCheck UK covers: SpeedCheck UK focuses mainly on speeding, but the 14-day NIP timeline can also apply to some other moving traffic offences (for example, red-light camera offences) where a driver is not stopped at the scene. Important notes: The 14-day rule generally applies to the first NIP served on the registered keeper, not necessarily when a driver receives paperwork (especially for company, lease, or hire vehicles). SpeedCheck UK is for information only and does not provide legal advice or confirm the validity of any notice. The 14-day rule does not apply to parking fines, bus lane penalties, congestion/ULEZ charges, or other civil enforcement notices.
