Well last year I was snapped down in Somerset by one. I then revisited the
site and decided that I had a good case for the speed limit being
unenforcable as some of the signs were facing the wrong direction or covered
by foliage. I went and took plenty of photos, GPS coordinates etc. ready to
form my defence. At my request the matter went to court. Then it all went
very quiet, I think they messed up.
Anyway I suggest if you ever want any advice on such matters, go the
Fightback Forums at www.pepipoo.com and spend a long time reading.
If you want to fight this then personally I would go back to the scene now
and see if the signing is legal. Take lots of photos. If there are any
faults including lights not working if the signs are illuminated, or
obscured by foliage, then inform the local council, and ask them if they
will write to you to confirm the faults they have rectified, this would look
very good if it got to trial.
There are other approaches you could take, including sending a PACE letter
in reply to the NIP you have received. Go read the forum if you want to know
all about it.
Cheers
Richard

Evening all,
after more than 3 years of unblrmished driving I returned home today to find
that I was caught doing 55 mph in a 40 zone by one of those bloody Truvelo
things.
The thing is, I remember seeing the camera in question and it was literally
2 yards after the start of a very poorly signposted 40 zone which was
immediately following a bend in the road.
I was wondering, therefore, if any of you performance drivers had ever been
involved with, or heard of anyone, being able to prove inadequate signing at
a speed camera location.
Neither myself or my passenger saw the 40 sign which is why I was doing 55
mph when I was caught, because the limit previously had been 60.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Regards,
Mike Sumner - 178
