Safe Speed Forums

I've just received an NIP for doing 40mph in a 30mph zone and was caught by a camera in the back of a police van. But the police have put the wrong road on the NIP (the road they claim they caught me on is about a quarter of a mile from the road the police van was actually on when it caught me.)

Does this mean I can get off?

In reality I don't think the Magistrate will view this mistake as serious.

If you did not travel on the road he's stated, and can prove this by virtue of your normal movements, I believe this is more than a slip and you can legitimately confirm that you did not speed on that road because you did not use it.

Maps of your route and the road he says would be needed for the courts - as would a fair bit of bottle.

And that's not all - the S172 request can't be answered because the OP wasn't there, and once 14 days have passed after the offence a correct S172 cannot be issued.

So I reckon this dies on faulty S172 request - so the OP should do nothing for 14 days EXCEPT get better advice from Pepipoo.
