Hi Folks,
Received a fixed penalty speeding fine for 82 in a 70 the day after boxing day.
Remember seeing the copper by his bike with hairdryer in hand and was keeping up with traffic, after seeing him, saw i was doing around 73 so slowed but didn't think anything more would result.
Asked for the evidence and got the below photos.
Illegible number plate at 500m+ and cross hairs that appear to point at the road in front of the car.
By my reckoning due to angle and distance, there's probably a good 5-10m of road in the cross-hair and around 6inches of my lower, curved and honeycombed grill in the cross-hair.
My understanding is the laser needs to point at the forward most flat surface for 3+ seconds - on the Audi this is the number plate, which its way off?
the following photos are legible but have no speed.
Any ideas if he picked up some of the road in front it would skew the reading?
Any help much appreciated.

Rats, sounds like it was a fair cop, pretty sure we were all doing the same speed so guess its just my unlucky day!
Outside the boundaries for an awareness course, so looks like I'll have to suck it up, bet the guy in the Dub cant believe he hasn't received a letter yet!
probably just as well I want in this one as I'd be off to jail I'd imagine!
