Got a prosecution notice - What are the right steps next?

[bridgland]

Just got a call from my wife to say that I have got a letter through stating that I am to be prosecuted for speeding by a camera van. Just want a little advice as to what options I might have and whether it is worth getting some legal advice, or just take it like a man.

I was apparently doing 92 miles per hour on a 3 lane dual carriageway with a 70 mph speed limit.

I was one of 3 cars that were in excess of the speed limit when we got sight of the van. The first car was undertaking all the traffic in the inside lane and I had just pulled out behind another car into the outside lane, with that car going slightly faster than me when we all came into sight of the van, which I obviously then slowed down for (obviously too late).

As I was relatively close behind one of the other car that was also speeding, and it was going slightly faster than me, is there any chance that the speed reading might have come from his car, as I don't believe I was exceeding 90 mph (I believe I was closer to 85 mph)?

Are there any details I should try to get from them about the technology and evidence they have, or would that just cause me more issues?

Thanks in advance for any comments (positive or negative)

Apparently, anything over 90 MPH takes you into another prosecution band with 4-6 points, or 7-28 day ban and a significant fine (well over £100, with means testing). I want to know if there is any doubt to the speed that I am recorded to have done, as I am not convinced that I was going over 90 MPH.

Surrey, which is also where the offence took place.

Table above applied - 3 points and £100 - if you follow the process that is

Cheers Keithton. Fingers crossed that it pans out that way.
