The photos show the radar gun focused on the rear bumper edge and me in traffic slowing down. I cant remember even getting to the speed limit on the journey to Goodwood let alone going over it. I had my dad in the car too and he cant remember anytime when i actually put my foot down. It took me 3 hours just to get to the place! The roads leading to Goodwood were also jammed.

Im very dubious about this speeding ticket but what can you do! I have no evidence to say i wasn't speeding. Police have you by the balls in alot of respects. Only plus point is that i can do the speed awareness course locally and not get any points on my licence.

I own up if ive driven fast but im really unsure about this one. I know i wont be the only person done by this camera over the course of the weekend thou!
I know one van was on the A27 facing west between the Tangmere and Fontwell roundabouts but that wouldn't seem to fit with the photos you have as I'd expect them to get the front of your car. Can you be any more specific about the location?

Sounds a bit suspect, which day was the ticket for?
The A27 was a car park from as far back as the Fishbourne roundabout into Goodwood Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 11-12 when I was queuing.

Thats where i caught and the sign in the distance can be seen in photo with my car quite some distance behind. Camera took the photo from behind and you can clearly see a car behind me and one in front as well.
