If you were to indicate to the speed enforcement dept. when your fine arrived in the post that you intend to contest the facts as stated it would not be pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service because it is a matter for the courts to interpret i.e. not cut and dry and they cannot afford to represent cases in court that fall into that category unless it is of a serious nature.
If you just pay your fine you are accepting you are guilty as alleged by a machine and an admin clerk.
It does seem that particularly on the continent in countries where they are strapped for cash, the police are being made responsible for raising as much cash in petty interpretations of motoring offences as possible. It is amazing what you can get away with if you write out a receipt for the cash you collect.
