72 mph in a 60 (M25 J15–16, variable speed limit).
What I did..
Didn’t use portal on line
- Replied promptly, didn’t guess the driver; relied on s.172(4) after real checks !
- Asked for hard-copy evidence: Section 20 certificate, full image metadata, AMI/MIDAS logs proving the 60mph activation (they quoted “3:00 / 3:06”), the TRO, and maintenance/error logs. Bla bla bla !!
- Sent everything Signed For, kept proofs.
- Filed a DSAR (police restricted it as “live”), then demanded an internal review.
- Stayed polite and cooperative: said we respect road safety and would accept the normal outcome (incl. a course) once a driver is properly identified.
What they sent…
- Partial bundle: rear photos + a Redflex calibration cert; refused to discuss more until a driver was named.
- Then (15/12/2025) a letter saying due to an issue affecting a number of speed cases, there would be no further action on this offence.
Outcome
- Case closed !
My Takeaway…
Document everything, don’t guess the driver, ask for the core records (Section 20, TRO, activation logs, metadata), and keep it civil. Sometimes the system blinks first. 👊💥
