Speeding

Getting penalty points off my licence.
Yes, its me again! Hope your well. As you may remember i admitted to a speeding offence this year for speed of 98 on the M4. I was given 4 SP50 points and fined £280. I still to this day dispute the speed and think the reading wasnt correct etc although i was definatly driving the car. Do you think its really worth re-opening that case (if possible) to help get the conviction removed etc or do u you think due to accuracy of the LTi 20/20 laser guns its not worth contesting again. would police still hold images etc from back then?
any advise would be handy as i would rather not have those points on my licence.
As always your help and advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Good to hear from you.
If you pleaded guilty then you wont be able to appeal the conviction. The most you can do is appeal the sentence and you won't get leave to do that out of time unless the reason for the delay is compelling.
You would need to cast a doubt on the police evidence and that wont be easy Im afraid unless you can show that the officer did not use the device in accordance with the relevant codes of practice and the manufacturers manual..
Has anything else come along that's worrying you?
