70Mph Camera Flashed Me Going 77Mph, Will I Get A Speeding Ticket?

[Noobie2024]

A 70mph camera flashed me going 77mph, will I get a speeding ticket? I was traveling down the motorway and a camera double flashed me as I went past. I looked at my GPS (Google Maps) and it said I was doing 77mph at the time. I had not realised I was going that fast and slowed down. It was on the M6, near Coventry, which I believe falls under Warwickshire. Warwickshire Police state that they follow the NPCC guidelines on speeding and allow 10% +2mph. Thus meaning the lower threshold for activation of the camera and receiving a notice should be 79mph. Is this the case? Will I be receiving a notice, even if I was within their own limit threshold?

It depends what the camera (not your GPS) registered.

I understand, but my GPS has always shown the same speed as the speed indicators that state your speed, which you usually see as you enter 30 mph zones. This makes me feel like that is an accurate (as accurate as an app can get) measurement of my actual true speed. If the camera registered that my speed was higher than it actually was and thus at or above the 79 mph NPCC guideline limit, would I have a case against the speeding ticket if I were to receive one?

unlikely, since  the speed limit was 70, everyone's calibrations would have to be seriously out of whack if that was how slow you were really going. Best pin your hopes on the cops going by their own rules and not bothering with you at all.

They have to issue you with a ticket within 3 weeks of the camera flashing, otherwise it gets thrown out. 

 

It will be a nail biting 3 weeks as the fact it flashed is it means its registered a vehicle exceeding the speed limit. 

 

Fingers crossed nothing comes of it.

They have to issue you with a NIP ( notice of intention to prosecute) within 14 days.

If the ticket was issued – written up, created – outside of 14 days after the speeding incident, then there may be a possibility the ticket could be time barred (cancelled). However, there's no guarantee, and by contesting the ticket, you could end up with a bigger fine and more points.
