Speeding in a 20 mph zone

Hello,

My Father-In-Law was caught speeding three times within a 20 mph zone the same day on the same stretched of road. The notification states he was travelling at 25 mph. 

Is it probable he will get points on license?

Thanks in advance.

    Not our bag here, we deal with private parking cases. 

    PePiPoo will be your best bet for police tickets. If you do receive a ticket, register there but please note that a hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering and post a new thread; here's your link:
    Have a read through some of the other threads and use the NiP Wizard there before you post your own to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the police (both sides, if appropriate) as they need to see all the small print.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

    when you say "he was caught" was that by a fixed camera or a mobile one?

    Pepipoo is unreliable and most of the advisors from there are now on the Free Traffic Legal Advice forum at https://ftla.uk

    That's a good question. I'm not sure. Does it make a difference?

    PePiPoo far busier - just 6 speeding cases dealt with in the last week on FTLA; 25 on PePiPoo for the same period. 10 private parking case on FTLA cf 36 on PePiPoo, same period. I wish they'd take a decision on which one they want to go with, then shut the other down.

    Well if as you say he was caught they have to have evidence of some sort 

    The notification states he was travelling at 25 mph..... (Thats the evidence) so they should be able to prove it if they have it

    So he will get points if found guilty i would have thought or maybe not if offered to go on a course
