NIP, any ‘tips’?
Discussion
Have received a wonderful Christmas present from Surrey police in the form of a NIP. Is it still even worth asking for camera calibration, ignoring, pleading, etc....
Or do I just bend over and take it??
It’s the Big Brotherism of it all that rankles with me, I did however commit said ‘offence’.....

Shoplifters and burglars make the same complaint about CCTV cameras - Totally unfair how they get caught breaking the Law!Or do I just bend over and take it??

I got nicked during the first lockdown (responding to an emergency callout which was a care home dementia unit with all the doors unlocked as a power supply unit had failed) at 83mph on the A14 around Cambridge. Despite being a bright sunny day, the camera can being parked in an emergency only lay-by and not being marked on the database that it was there - not that I make a habit of speeding as I get paid to drive but I do run Tom Tom speed camera locations and it categorically was not marked as being there.
I debated contesting it - mainly out of feeling hard done by for targeting people who were trying to still carry on working and also it being parked where it was - but then decided I was bang to rights, did the virtual course and actually learnt quite a bit from it. I do 50k a year, have been driving for 15+ years with no instruction since so sometimes a little bit of tuition helps.
I’d suggest the course personally if you can.

What speed, what limit, out of curiosity.
Nothing more to add, I've been done long time ago, unless it was an unfamiliar road, sticking at the speed limit is a concious decision to or not.
I'd be annoyed, but just take the punishment, it'll go away shortly and you might get the course etc.
It's not a tax, stop it with the stupid responses.

I feel for the OP, but its not black magic or evil forces
Road speed limits are shown on roads
Most cars have reasonably accurate speedometers which can be augmented with sat-nav
Most static cameras have pre-warning signs
Many cars have cruise control
There are apps which can alert to speed cameras
The police give you 10% + 2 mph over
Plenty of chances to get it right ?
