TEMPORARY SPEED CAMERAS RESULT IN NIP
Discussion
Fish speaking:
From my memory you can get an endorseable penalty on a temp limit in a dual carriageway/motorway but not in a tenp limit on a sub NSL road.
Signing of the NIP is equivalent to making an offical statement I beleive, what about asking to give a recorded statement at the cop shop instead its the same thing in court. (not that sure I'm right)
I stand to be corrected.

from www.speed-trap.co.uk/Accused_Home/Rules_useage/The_Law.htm, it would appear that Mrs Fish is correct, and I was wrong:
"You should note that exceeding a temporary speed limit is a non-endorsable offence. This means that you can only get a fine, but not have any endorsements (points) applied to your license. Of course, like most things in law, there is an exception, and in this case it's national speed limits (ie. motorways and dual carriageways). If you exceed a temporary limit on a motorway, such as in roadworks, or the controlled-speed section of the M25, then it becomes an endorsable offence, ie. points. This information is in some dispute at the moment, but came from a traffic officer undergoing basic traffic training so I have no reason to believe that it's false."
