Here is the camera calibration certificate in case it's helpful in anyway:

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Notice of Intended Prosecution - A1, dual carriageway, 79mph

Quick update:
The police force responded very quickly to my queries. They have provided a camera calibration certificate which appears to be in order / valid. They have said they have no further images to help identify the driver.
So my questions are, does the lack of information on the photographic evidence they've provided mean anything legally (times, speeds, locations etc)? Or the lack of further images? Thank you!

Speeding and other criminal offences / Notice of Intended Prosecution - A1, dual carriageway, 79mph
« on: October 16, 2025, 03:49:57 pm »
Hi All,
I've just received a NIP this morning. Alleged offence is speeding, 79 mph recorded by automatic camera device on a dual carriageway (speed limit 70 mph). It seems to be an average speed check on a 3.2-mile stretch of the A1 in Lincolnshire. The irony is that I'd just finished my first Speed Awareness Course this morning when I found the letter in my post!
I've emailed the police force asking for any photos that would help me to identify the driver as other people use the car. Let's see what they come back with.
I also tried to check the camera calibration certificates, but they appear to be missing from their webpage (https://www.lincs.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/road/l/camera-information/). None are listed for the A1 and cameras S005 and S006 are missing. Looking at the maps of cameras in Lincolnshire (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1oEHbCaCOT07Fkh35R-ESIyU2FJRle-w&ll=52.81139833371472%2C-0.44694131710394824&z=12), it seems that S005 may have been the camera used. The location on the NIP is listed as "A1 - Colsterworth to, Great Ponton", which seems to match S005.
I've emailed the police force to ask for the calibration certificates for S005 or whichever camera was used. Do they have to provide me / the driver with these? If they don't provide me with any, when their policy appears to be to provide them to the public via that webpage, could that work in favour of the driver in some way?
Lastly, the photos they've provided don't have any times, speeds, locations etc, which seems strange to me:
Is the lack of information on the photos something that could use to the driver's benefit? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Temporary 50mph speed restriction on A1(M) between J44 and J43 - speed recorded at 63mph

Thank you both. I tried to find the TRO, including on National Highways, but couldn't find it. I've driven on the road again and the signs seem to be appropriate. Strange there isn't a findable TRO, but without one I'm not going to risk anything. I've decided to do the SAC. Hartlepool Council offer it online for £79, seems to be the cheapest available.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Temporary 50mph speed restriction on A1(M) between J44 and J43 - speed recorded at 63mph

Hi All,
I've received a NIP, followed by the FPN after I confirmed I would have been the driver at the time of the alleged offence, which is: "Exceed a temporary 50mph speed restriction on a motorway in contravention of a Local Traffic Order - ACD at 07:49 on 23/08/2025 at A1(M) Southbound, Between MP 60/2 North of J44 on main carriageway to MP 54/6 J43 on Main Carriageway, Leeds. The speed of the vehicle on this occasion was recorded at 63 mph".
I've been offered a NSA course, as this is the first time I've received such a notice, but I'd really appreciate people's opinion on whether there's anything else to do than go on the course.
The police have shared some photos of the alleged offence, but it's impossible to read most of it as the document resolution is very low (I'll attach what I have below in case it's helpful).
Here are all the files I have:
The below appears to be a duplicate, even though the file name is different and it was a seperate download.
Would there be any grounds to appeal, as far as anyone can see? I have no experience with speeding tickets so would love to hear from people who have.
Thank you very much in advance.
