I'd leave it out of the court mate, you've been caught by the camera and unless the camera was wrong you won't get off.
Does your vehicle have a tachometer record?

One loophole is if the camera wasn't calibrated or used correctly. One of my tutors at college successfully contested a fixed penalty fine using this tact. He took a gamble by researching how the hand held gun had to be used/calibrated and asked the copper directly in court how he would check it over before use etc. It turned out the copper didn't expect this, had a 'lapse of memory' and so the charge had to be dropped as the copper couldn't prove he knew how to use the speed gun correctly. But if you have readings from your vehicle or the camera is a fixed camera you may be buggered. I'm pretty sure the OB will now be more savvy to this sort of claim too. |

I get pissed off when a HGV driver travelling at 40.0002 MPH, feels the need to overtake another HGV travelling at 40 MPH on a dual-carriage way. Agreed. Muchos annoying. I've also seen situations where on HGV doing 65 overtakes another doing which is overtaking another. Not only is it illegal, its dangerous and incredibly annoying. |

That would make sense seeing most are restricted to 56mph. Apart from fire engines, which we have had going off the clock as they are not restricted  |

i've been offered a speed awareness course instead of a 3 point penalty.
it would cost me £75,i'd have to go to either reading,milton keynes or bicester to do it.it would take up 4 1/2 hours of my time.and i'd have to lose a days holiday from work.
dunno whether to go not guilty and plead mitigating circumstances.(then hope the cps dont push it through)or just pay 60 quid have 3 points and be done with it?
