Scammed in N. Wales!
Discussion
Hi,
Posting on behalf of my brother.
Caught by a van on his motorbike, 35 in a 30 just before an NSL, well out of village. Perfect conditions.
Thing is, he saw the van and was sure he was within the limit.
What can he do? He wants to request the photos to confirm there was no targetting error - to be caught at 35 he would have to have had an indicated 38 or so on the speedo which he is sure he didn't.
Thing is, does he have to go to court if he requests photo? Obviously can't use the "who was driving?" reason to get the photos as he was on the bike! What excuse can he use?
Also, does he still have to get the NIP back by the 28 day deadline if it takes a while for the photos to come through?
And don't say "go to pepipoo" because I haven't had much joy there :(
Help!

Thanks guys, keep it coming.
It seems a deliberate ploy - make it all as difficult and complicated as possible, and people will just say "oh well, it's only 60 quid".
What's so annoying is that he is an extremely good & observant biker - he saw the van and is sure he was within the limit. Certainly not the 38 or so indicated it would be to trigger a 35mph actual reading. I feel sure he is victim of this parallax targetting error thingy...
He had his GPS satnav thing going at the time, will be interesting to see his logged speed at the time (although no good as proof, natch)
