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.
What Mike said, that's about your only hope. A damn good brief

This bloke in EVO was called Nick someone and he got some bloke off with costs paid for summat like 173mph

He's your man
