Hi guys a friend (yes honest) has just received a NIP for overtaking on a solid white line. They have provided two stills that appear to be part of a video taken from the passenger seat of a camper van as my mate passed.
Simple question, is this worth contesting it all looks very dodgy to me.
If you want to see the paperwork ill need to get him to register and post.

Just looking for your oppinion first.

Thanks.

If I admit to the offence and just plead guilty, what’s the likely punishment? I.e. how many points and what level of fine should I expect to receive?


You are likely to be offered a fixed penalty of £100 + 3 points.


Ah ok. So it’s not means tested which was my worry

We have been onto google maps and found the exact spot that the pictures were taken. It is a long straight road with alternating overtaking priorities, It is quite clear that my friend started his overtake on broken lines with a clear road in front and then the priorities changed as he passed the camper. In the pictures you can clearly see a long straight road with nothing else on it. This was not dangerous in any way so I just find it pointless.

Solid white lines are not just used on bends, they are used where the rise and fall of the road cuts visibility below the distance required.

As stated by someone else, look and make sure all the required arrows warning you of an approaching solid line are in place.

Not unless the case goes to court, which it would do if you want to defend it or do not accept a fixed penalty if offered, in which case the guideline fine would be 50% of your net weekly income.
I should add that you could be offered the "What's driving us" course, which is available for failing to follow traffic directions, that would avoid any points
