There are a number of potential defences and loopholes to look at to see whether you can succesfully defend a speeding ticket. These are sometimes described in adverts as driving secrets. Remember, there is no such thing as a 100% guarantee that you will escape a speeding fine or conviction if you are guilty!
I don't know who the driver was when it was caught on the speed camera
You are required to make every effort to discover who the driver was. This may involve checking fuel receipts, phone records etc of those people who could have been driving.
It's a company van and I don't know who was driving
You are required to make every effort ("reasonable diligence") to
find out who was driving at the time of the alleged speeding offence. As an employer you are required to check the licences of those people who you allow to drive the vehicle.
My wife and I shared the driving and I don't know who was driving at the time
This defence was successfully used by Neil & Christine Hamilton. Again you must make every effort to find out who was driving at the time of the speeding offence.
I genuinely wasn't speeding
Ask to see the police photos/video from the speed camera equipment
Important note. Do not lie to get out of your speeding ticket - it can lead you into more trouble. See this case from the Midlands
