No speed shown on speeding ticket?

A friend (genuinely not me 🤣) has received a speeding ticket/NIP from West Mercia Police via post for "offence of exceed 30mph speed limit....... The speed limit for the vehicle was 30mph".

There's no detail of WHAT speed he was doing, just the limit. When I've had one before it showed the limit and the actual speed in a box in the middle of the page - as does West Mercia Police's website. No number either, he's already sent details off and believes he was in the area at the time.

Should it not be showing the actual speed he was doing? It just doesn't seem to make any sense that his actual speed isn't shown.

This is the ticket in question.....

It states the speed limit for the vehicle is 30mph, rather than the street. What cc was the bike?

If 50cc is the speed limit not 28mph and this is referring to some sort of technicality there hence no actual speed exceeded?

Could be completely wrong but the wording is strange

That's what made us question it. He's on an old CB500 so no issues there. Theres also no phone number etc on the paperwork. Everything else points towards that it should be showing a number. He has got an email from someone (who he contacted on the official website) saying to "call the number on the paperwok" to query it!

Right, he's told me he finally managed to get through to them. Seems it is legitimate and they won't tell him the speed until the paperwork is received.

Just very odd to me as I've always seen them with a specified speed detailed.

He's just had another letter through asking for a £100 fine - still no details or the actual speed.
