Wrong supporting evidence.
« on: »
Hey, I got a NIP delivered to my house with my cars registration number plate on for doing 46mph in a 40mph and I will absolutely take the fine and points (I did the course in 2024) if it’s definitely me but when I looked at the photos for the evidence the “primary photo” is of my lane with my car which is travelling away from the camera (rear of car) and the opposite lane and another car exactly at the side of me which is travelling towards the camera (front of car) but both the close up photo the car and the close up photo of the reg plate of the car is the car next to me travelling towards the camera so am I best just sucking it up and getting the fine and points?
Thank you.

The photos you have received are not necessarily those which would be used in evidence.

You could contact the police and point out that they have supplied the wrong photos, and they might drop the matter out of embarrassment. Or they might not.

Does the provided image have a - sign next to the speed? If so then they've clocked you, and the - means speed away from camera.

What you must bear in mind is that that the police could have sent you just the NIP and the accompanying request for driver’s details, and nothing else. They have no obligation to provide you with any evidence or other material whether they intend to use it in the event they prosecute you or not.

If they did so, you would still be obliged to respond to the request, naming yourself as the driver. If they went on to offer you a fixed penalty they would still have no obligation to provide anything unless you chose not to accept the FP and instead opted to be prosecuted.

The police are unlikely to engage in much by way of correspondence with you (except perhaps by way of a template letter). You might try asking them why they have provided photographs of somebody else’s car, but I doubt it will cut much ice.

They clearly did detect your car in the location as you were there and you recall the occasion. What you need to be careful of is that you do not give too strong an impression that you are disputing the allegation so that they do not offer a fixed penalty. That doesn’t often happen, but it does occasionally.

In effect, what the OP is asking, is whether, based on the photo we haven't seen, it is likely that it was just the other car that was caught speeding, and the shaved chimp in the CTO simply read the wrong number plate.
