Sorry x but your friend is wrong.
The police can charge you with driving at 1mph over the limit if they feel able to convince the court that you are right and they are wrong - beyond reasonable doubt.
The only way to challenge a speeding matter is to contest the speed alleged and cast a doubt on the police evidence. If you accept that you were speeding at the time then you will struggle to do this..
Have you got any points already? If so how many?
