Hi
I was driving 25MPH on a road that recantely changed from 30MPH
to 20MOH.
Ticket attached.
Can you advice me how to appeal it. (My main issue is the
points, as I got some already).
Your urgent advice will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards.
Please see NIP attached.

There is nothing to appeal, the police have just sent you a
notice requiring you to identify the driver. You've been
notified, so to that extent the notice has served its purpose.
There is also a request for driver details under section 172 of
the Road Traffic Act 1988, and you have no choice but to fill in
the notice and send it back: if you don't you're looking at 6
points and a large fine, and failing to send the notice duly
filled in is a much more serious offence than doing 25 mph in a
20 zone.
Once you send the notice back, the police will decide what
disposal to offer. If you were the driver then once you hear
back from the police you can decide whether to accept any out of
court disposal (such as a driver improvement course, that would
avoid any points) or go to court and plead not guilty.
If you were the driver and want to go to trial, you'd have to
tell us what defence you think you might have, for example if
there were no signs saying it's a 20 zone.
I'm guessing the location is here

but as the Google
Street View images are several years old, if you want to dispute
the signage you would need to go back and get photos.

As above - go back and check the signs are correct and a TRO is
in place. If both are, there is nothing to appeal. If you've not
done one in the last 2 years, you will be able to avoid more
points by attending the speed awareness course potentially.
Regardless of the above the latter is asking for the name of the
driver at the time - you must respond to that within the 28 days
or face a more punishing offence conviction of which gets you 6
points.............

Three years, calculated from the offence dates.
