Speeding ticket 57mph in a 50mph zone

I have just received a speeding ticket from Greater Manchester Police for doing 57mph in a 50mph variable speed zone on the m62 westbound, I could’ve sworn it was a 60mph zone but anyway does the 10% + 2 not give me the lee way?
just want opinions on what I can do or am I just going to have to pay it and take the course and move on,
Thanks

The 10% plus 2 is the starting point for prosecution; at 56mph you should have been in the clear.

Since we specialise in dealing with unfair private parking charges here on MSE, you would be better taking this over to our friends on pepipoo.com as they are the council and police motoring specialists.
You will need to sign up to pepipoo with a non-hotmail email address, read the FAQs, then post your redacted ticket with your query on the police section of the forum.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.
