Get a solicitor QUICK - the name of the top guy in the country escapes me (is in this month's Evo mag if anyone has it handy), as it has recently been proven that a particular laser camera favoured by the camera partnerships is a pile of wank (gives speed readings for stationary objects and gives high (+30mph) readings if not used corrrectly - which is likely as most use inappropriately trained "Joe Public" to sit in the back of vans), and several people have had their convictions overturned (See "The Mail" newspaper on Saturday just gone). If it is one of these ones, then you stand a chance, otherwise it is likely to be ban time, as it is more than 30mph over limit.

Obviously at the moment, the government is refusing to admit that anything is wrong with the detectors, as it would mean MULTI-million pound compensation / refund claims, as THOUSANDS have people have been allegedly possibly wrongly convicted with this equipment.
