Clocked doing 63mph by a 50mph camera on A3

[Erich Stahler]

Just recieved a notice of intended procecution in the post.

Seems a bit over the top for 13mph over the speed limit!
Is this likeley to be 3 points and a sixty pound fine?
Is it worth asking for photographic evidence and taking it to court?

If it was a static, they're not exactly hidden on that road!

I'd guess 3 points/£60 CoFP unless you're on 9+ points

Not unless:

1. you're absolutely certain you weren't speeding at all
2. you can prove it
3. you can first prove the camera was faulty or badly operated (if a van), and not just on the basis of point 2.

Even then, think carefully. You are 95% likely to lose the first round and will then have to take it to appeal. It will cost you thousands and you will still probably lose. It really depends on how much you want to pay for your points.
