That should do the trick

I fought my speeding ticket, I was done on "vasscar" but there were major mistakes made in the process of reporting me, distance I was clocked over, paper works etc etc.

All this was taken in to account and I recieved 6 points for doing 128mph instead of a ban ... so it was a positive result as far as I was concerned.

BUT, afterwards the solicitors said that I was never going to get off scott free as it would have meant the court siding with me and confirming that the police officer in question had made mistakes in clocking me and the process carried out. That was never going to happen because at the end of the day I was speeding, that could not be disputed. Everything else was just "stuff" that did not detract from the fact that I was speeding.

All that said, I would contact a solicitor and seek their advice. You are enitled to a 30min free consultation with any solicitor. At the end of the 30 mins you should know if it's worth fighting or not.
