What a friendly community. Can't you understand I am annoyed for OBEYING the limits and the gantry gave me zero chance to slow down in time? I am not blaming anyone here!

Ok, please don't jump on me. I'm only asking as I remember the old Pepipoo days and things have clearly changed. Its been years!
I understand this letter is just asking me to admit I was the driver and I was and I have submitted that. I will not be at all happy if they whack points on my clean licence and I will be asking questions if that happens. I'm happy to take the course if offered despite my opinion on its fairness.
All I am saying is I find it extremely harsh.

No
So I just have to accept this? I'll be fighting it as it's pathetic.

Speeding and other criminal offences / 46mph on M1 on 1st 40mph Gantry

Hi all
I just received my first notice of intended prosecution of speeding for around 15 years. I was on the M1 between J15 and J14 at 2:47am last week when the overheads started flashing 60 so I slowed to 60 with no reasons given. Then it went down to 50 so I complied. Then it showed the 1st two lanes were closed ahead so I started pulling across ready still doing 50mph. I had trucks up my arse but I wasn't taking any notice of them. Then as I approached the two closed lanes, the gantry overhead showed 40 (for the first time) and I started slowing to 40 from my steady 50 and the same gantry flashed me. I had trucks tailgating me (which then pulled out and at least 10 overtook me during the lane closures).
Today I received the notice of intended prosecution for doing 46mph. The very first gantry at the start of the 2 lane closure and the very first gantry showing a reduction from 50 to 40. Surely I can fight this as I was slowing at short notice and I was doing 46?
Any help would be hugely appreciated as I feel this is very unjustified. It's Northamptonshire Police.
Thank you!
