NIP Wizard Responses
These were the responses used by the Wizard to arrive at its recommendation:
Have you received a NIP? - Yes
Are you the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned (is your name and address on the V5/V5C)? - No
Is the NIP addressed to you personally? - Yes
Although you are not the Registered Keeper, were you the keeper of the vehicle concerned (the person normally responsible for it) at the time of the alleged offence? - Yes
Were you driving? - Yes
Which country did the alleged offence take place in? - England

NIP Wizard Recommendation
Based on these responses the Wizard suggested that this course of action should be considered:

• The law requires you to provide the information requested in the Section 172 notice within the 28 day period, naming yourself as the driver. If you are considering obtaining formal legal advice, do so before returning the notice.
  
  You should note that there is nothing to be gained by responding any earlier than you have to at any stage of the process. You are likely to receive a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty (COFP) and further reminder(s). If you want to continue the fight, you should ignore all correspondence from the police until you receive a summons. You need to understand from the outset that while you will receive much help and support from members on the forums, you will need to put time and effort into fighting your case and ultimately be prepared to stand up in court to defend yourself.

Have you any particular questions? If you tell us the alleged speed and the limit we can let you know the likely outcome. What is your connection to the vehicle (other than driving it at the relevant time)? How did the NIP and request for driver's details end up with you? If the offence qualifies for a course (and you are eligible to take one) you will need to respond quickly as courses are not usually offered more than four months after the date of the offence.

Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - M25/M3 inter, Chertsey to Basingstoke slip and M3

This suggests it's the permanent 50 limit at the interchange, monitored by average speed cameras.
