You thought wrong. That part is 30mph.

You have no choice but to notify the driver unless you want to
commit a separate offence carrying 6 points.
See this thread.

As above, you must reply naming the driver.
The only way you can then "challenge them" is to ignore any
offer of a course or fixed penalty, and plead not guilty when
the matter goes to court. Unless you have a valid defence which
you have not shared with us, that will result in a finding of
guilt, three points on your licence, and a fine and costs
approaching £1,000.

Out of interest, what made you think that road was subject to a
40mph limit?

[/quote]To be fair - it used to be a 40 (and 'feels' like a 40).
But the clues that it's a 30 is no speed signage and a system
of street lighting which makes it a 'restricted road' which is
30...

[/quote]Well at least you'll be offered a course to avoid the
points...

It’s poorly sign posted
I am betting just to catch you out .!
A4 has been 40 mph for ever .

It's not sign posted at all and it has a system of street
lighting. That's what makes it a 30mph limit.

It’s 40 all way from Hammersmith to Heathrow
Airport the only part at 30 is that traffic light . So I believe
they dint bother with a sign just to catch drivers out and fill
there pockets.
