Speeding Specialist Solicitor Wanted... looking for recommendations

Glad it's over for you and now you just have to be cautious then in about 3 years it'll just be a dim memory. I've seen beaks like you describe, especially when it's fairly obvious one of the others is a newbie. I was pleased to read that the Clerk stood up for you although it might have gioven you p[erverse pleasure to appeal agains whatever he ruled because he was ignoring (or at least tying to ignore) factual evidence. Do you think that made a difference to the penalty in the end?

In the end no, I think the outcome was the same, hence pushing for the continuing offence. Ultimately anyone could have been caught on the first camera set due to the non-visible signs and lack of street lights (those which are there are sporadic and well hidden in bushes further along from the photo.) The second camera set does have visible street lights, but much like everyone else of my father's age group, he claims to have never heard of 'streetlights mean 30 unless otherwise posted'. Hence no argument. The one real concern i had was that when the judge was setting the sentence, he asked the prosecution about the speed. They replied with 'highest average of 41' yet the NIP/Conditional Offer/Charge showed 37. When i indicated to my dad in court (i was there with him) to challenge this and ask how they came up with that speed when all the documents have 37 on them, he was basically filibustered by the magistrate before being issued with 4pts. This in itself would warrant an appeal in my eyes but he decided 4pts was better than 6 and to get out whilst matters were in his favour.
I've had experience of court from various perspectives and this was by far the worst experience i've had from a professional conduct standpoint!.
