Lawyer recommendation for fighting speeding ticket Mancheste

[TB993tt]

I seem to remember someone offering their services on here but can't find the post through the search...

I just got a ticket from a mobile van and they say I was doing 54 in a 30.

I went to the site, Mancunian way 160m from junction at Hoyle street and it is 100% a 40 limit, possibly a 50 limit (they were aiming at traffic right on the 40 sign - s)

There waa another guy there taking snaps who got exact same ticket same day but he was doing 49....

Don't want to pay Nick Freeman type money but the other guy and I will fight this with a view to getting it chucked out.

Recommendations please ?

take pictures video - prove your situation - prove where the speed limit starts and finishes and where you were caught - its pretty simple - send the info in with your plea - go to court - do it yourself!!

BUT exactly AT the 40mph sign - its a 40mph limit - not 1m after - thats what the sign is for!

You dont need a liar lawyer - if you are right I wish you the best of luck!

Not sure how you're going to get it chucked out when your defence is "I wasn't doing 54 in a 30, I was doing 54 in a 40. I might even have been doing 54 in a 50".

er, I'd rather be arguing that I (alledgedly) did 54 in a 50 or 40 than in a 30.

Also, their nip is based on incorrect facts and if they havent got the supposed speed limit correct then their knowledge/facts could be thrown into question.

Won't it be cheaper to just pay the £60, since you were doing an indicated 58mph in a 40 zone ?

[TB993tt]

The advice is to tell them to correct their "30mph" limit bit to 40mph, not really worth going further as they just say clerical error.

The inference above that the speed I was doing was inappropriate (and another post above also hints in that direction) is fking ridiculous..... It is a 50 limit which drops to a 40, they are zapping you 10m after the 40 sign, it is a dual carriageway FFS 70% of traffic is doing 50+ in the 40 part of the limit. I went down there this morning and crawled along at 43 indicated and had a taxi indignantly up my arse and every other "normal" motorist was obvertaking me making perfectly safe progress at 50+ (in the bloody 40 yes).

Some people posting on here need to get out more and see at what speeds most normal people drive.....

Perhaps they ought to get a speed van out there?

Back the fk up.

I'm all for driving to the conditions. But if I get pinged doing so, I get pinged.

You didn't get a ticket for driving at an inappropriate speed for the road. You got a ticket for driving at 54 when the limit is 30. Even if the limit was 40, you were still a long way over the limit. If you want to go to court and argue that the limit on that stretch of road should be higher, and so your ticket should be "chucked out" (your words) good luck with that.

So you reckon that driving in the UK, everyone approaching a 40 limit sign when in a 50 and slows to said 40 before the sign ? Do they fk - The s in the van were "pinging" 10m from the limit sign for fks sake - Of course I take mine on the chin but the other poor bd was doing 49 - every fker that morning was doing between 45 and 60 that is how traffic flows on that stretch -

If there are as any people as you say doing the speeds you say regularly along that road without issue, the guys in the van arent working to their code of practice.
They can still do it

Jeez you quoted that quickly, I thought the "knob" comment a little too much, poster is entitled to his opinion as are you

Are you willing to work to getting the guys working to their code or do you want to whinge about your ticket?

I'm not sure what's the matter with you. It's a money making scheme - of course they ping where they're going to get the most hits.

I was miffed to be zapped, by guy with a camera who was hiding in shadows so was impossible to see, while doing 85 on a motorway standard A road. I drive that road at 70 now, and the vast majority of other drivers tear past me.
