Im afraid you have to accept that the police would not send you an invalid certificate unless you are prepared to take the matter to court. They certainly would not forge a certificate. Check the dates and make sure it has been calibrated within the last 12 months and that's about as much as you can do without rejecting the fixed penlaty and taking the matter to court Im afraid.
Ask for the photos and do a secondary check using the lines on the road if you don't accept that you were speeding. You can find the calculation on the ABD website.
