Ok, so I get a letter through the post saying I was doing 40mph in a 30 zone last week. This is on a road I use everyday to get to work. There are no speed cameras on this road and no warnings.

I didnt see any police/lazer on the day in question. I thought if it was a policeman with a lazor detector they had to pull you up there and then?

Im just annoyed as there are no camera's and I didnt see anyone or know anything about it untill the letter.

Is there anything I can do?

Any help would be much appreciated :D

Nope.

The NIP is in lieu of being pulled up.

In theory the opinion two police officers walking along the road would be enough evidence to prosecute you.

There should at least 1 warning sign en route to the camera, you may have been unfortunate enough to have taken a different route to the cam.

Nope. The offence can be captured on video/film for later use when they serve their ‘demand with menaces’.

Get yourself over to PePiPoo if you feel like a fight.
