Speeding Fine ???
My partner and I have recently received a speeding fine through the post after returning from a trip up North. We were doing a maximum of 70mph, the fine states that through a portion of the M42 we were doing 70mph through a 60mph limit. Can anyone confirm if there is actually a 60mph limit anywhere on the M42 - as we don't recall going through any roadworks or speed restrictions...what to do ?

if you go to the AA website and enter M42, it will show you speed restrictions as they are today.

I'd say, today there are none!
but as Roaldo says, there may have been temporary signs somewhere..

Roaldo:
Sorry if you think my answer is superfluous. My abject apologies, but why do I need to defer to someone else's opinion before giving my own?
My answer gave a bit more detail because the poster seemed puzzled as to why they had been sent the speeding fine. I was trying to supply a brief reason as to why it may have happened. If that's alright with you of course?
On the other hand, we may both be wrong? Well, I might, eh?

we did exactly the same thing as you did by the nec, and we just wrote back and said that we didn't deny speeding we just couldn't remember which one of us was driving at the time as it was such a long and tiresome journey etc. etc. and after a few more frightening letters of intimidating crap we got away with it.
everyone in this particullar area knows that this section of the m42 is just a money earner, so when you put up a good fight / stumbling block unless you were doing 100+ mph you will usually get away with it.
hope this helps !!!
