Hi guys. I got caught by a mobile speed van doing 62mph in a 30mph zone in October 2025. It was a dual carriageway coming out of a city with no pedestrians and light traffic, it is totally my fault and I should have known but I wasn’t really concentrating, I understand not an excuse and I hold my hands up to it. I’ve received the NIP and have responded that I’m the driver and have been told to expect a SPJN at some point. I have a few questions, if anyone would be kind enough to help:1) Is it worth me paying a solicitor to represent me at court? I’m hoping to try and stay away from a ban and take the maximum points and fine as I need my licence for work.2) Is it a requirement for the offence photograph to have some kind of laser device identifier on it? I’ve been given a calibration certificate but how do I know that’s for the device actually used on the day? I’m sure they’ve followed procedure but I couldn’t find any information online about this requirement. 3) Am I likely to be able to mitigate and stay away from a ban at this speed? If not what sort of ban should be expected from people’s experiences?Thanks a lot!
