"PDR" gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

What a pile of sanctimoneous twaddle. It is quite possible to
inadvertently exceed the speed limit in a 30mph zone because there are
no repeater signs. All it takes is for the initial sign which announces
the start of the 30mph zone to be obscured by a bus, an artic or even
vegetation. If you don't know the area it's easy to miss this.

How about the streetlighting? Does that all hide, too?

But even that's irrelevant. It's a fundamental princple of English law
that you are innocent until proven guilty. It's another that the accused
is entitled to see the case against him before submitting a plea.

Just as well you explicitly do have that opportunity, in that the
evidence is submitted according to the normal rules before the court date
if you choose to go that way.

It's actually a criminal offense to attempt to coerce a person into
falsely admitting an offence, but the whole fixed-penalty system is
structured specifically to achieve just this.

Really?

"Your car was photographed speeding. Was it you?"
"No"
"Fair enough, the prosecution case will go ahead in front of a
magistrate, where you'll have the opportunity to plead not guilty and
argue your case"
