If you are currently facing prosecution on a charge of speeding where the camera involved was a GATSO (i.e a rear-facing camera), I am going to be posting an article which explains how you can have the Notice of Intended Prosecution withdrawn just by writing one letter.
I expect to be posting this within the next fortnight with a template of the letter you need to write.
Although I do not habitually speed, I have used this letter before, with a 100% success rate. I anticipate the same result this time and am just awaiting Thames Valley Police’s letter, which I expect to receive soon. This is an entirely legal defence which is only available to the drivers of heavy goods vehicles. Then I will scan and post the correspondence.
If you have received a NIP, don’t send it back yet. If you have been fined and received penalty points, it is possible that you could have them removed and get your money back exploiting the same loophole- a loophole so large that you could drive an articulated lorry through it.
Watch this space! 
Does it apply if caught in a car or just a wagon?
Got flashed the other night 
on my way back from horsham after taking the Grandaughter home.
Simon. 
Interesting sounding stuff Harry.
Is it morally right to find a loophole in order to get out of a speeding charge when the driver has been speeding ?
This is interesting Harry. I got done in court 4 weeks ago for speeding. It only went to court cos I never received the NIP. So any help in getting my money back (it was a lot of beer tokens) would be appreciated.

Is it morally right to cut the speed limit on a road which was previously subject to the national speed limit and then put a camera on it?.Are most of the present speed limits morally right anyway?.

I’m not entirely sure about the morality of it Rog, but the simple fact is that the Police have to follow their own guidelines.
I just don’t want to hand over £60 of beer vouchers and lose my clean driving licence, because it will cost me more to insure my car. And I know how not to.
Simples!

I don’t see how morality has anything to do with the setting of a speed limit 
Most speed limits are set for the numptyiest of drivers and not the most proficient

Yes
Why ?
Because speed camera’s of the GATSO type are generally nothing more than revenue earners for local authorities, because many of the speed limits are unnecessarily low (don’t know where Harry got court though), because he can

Because, from what it sounds like, if the letter of the law has not been followed then the speeding charge cannot be proven, therefore prosecution is invalid.
And also we need every chance we can get these days.

So are you saying that it’s ‘right’ to ‘get away with it’ even if it may mean that the driver does it again - only next time it may not be just a fine & points !!!

No, I am saying that the Police have to follow ACPO guidelines when persuing a speeding conviction. Same as us, they have to follow the rules

But if some of those numpties are unsafe at any speed and if we take that argument to it’s logical conclusion we’ll have to bring back the man with a flag walking in front for everyone but at that time there were’nt enough drivers using mechanically propelled vehicles to even sort out wether some of them were numpties or not it was something to do with frightening the horses? but a train flying along the track did’nt seem to worry the horses when it suited them waiting at a level crossing.
I will post the letters written when I receive the next one, but I will say that I was flashed on the eastbound A44 at Chipping Norton, travelling at 36mph in a 30 mph zone.
My defence has nothing to do with the recently lowered speed limit at that camera site.

I’m going to guess then that is something to do with the 10% + 2 mph?
Although i thought that applied to all speeding enforcement and not just HGV’s?
ROG— Would you agree with somebody nipping through a 7.5t weight limit because it saves a 3 mile detour■■?
The answer is probably no, it is wrong and they should not get away with it.
SO— Why should the Police get away with breaking their rules■■?

I don’t because
30mph +10% is 33mph + 2 = 35mph.
