Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Grounds for contesting a COFP?

NewJudge, the explanation I received  from JustLoveCars clarified this and was all I needed. I said as much right after the part you took and quoted from my reply. No further help needed. Thank you.

Thanks for the corrections on a CoFP not being contestable.

My understanding was that the penalty is based on them recording 36mph average and if the speed is decreasing over that distance it cannot be a 36mph average. Sorry for leaving the rest of my thought process.
JustLoveCars, thank you for your explanation it helps me to understand this differently.

Appreciate the help.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Grounds for contesting a COFP?

Hello I'd be grateful for some advice.

I received an NIP for an alleged speeding offence taking place on 26/9/2025. The offence is exceeding a limit of 30mph, according to a mobile speed camera van recording 36mph on a stretch of road with a steep gradient (van was at the bottom of the hill). I viewed the evidence. Two photos show the car and differing speeds- 36mph and then 35mph. There is also video footage showing 35mph and the speed decreases to 31mph and then no speed is shown as the video ends (I can no longer access the portal to view).

The COFP is three points and £100 fine (received 12/10/25) Are there any grounds to contest this? The speed is decreasing, responding to speed limit advised by end of the footage?
