There’s a great app for that called Radarbot, it warns you of all reported radar traps, it’s useful when you are driving somewhere you don’t know
Is it not mitigating circumstances as signage must be clear and visible and not certain they are allowed to hide in bushes either?Angelus666 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 2:08 pm All fair comments chaps! To be honest I've driven that road a 100 times and never once reaslied it drops to a 30 for that 100 meters (have always done 40ish through there), I've looked at the signage on google maps it's they're the really small signs that are pretty well hidden with bushes and trees.
He must have made his yearly quota and got almost every car through that last week
I'm hoping it's just the £100 fine and 3 points. Let's wait and see.
Almost the same thing happened to me in Birmingham, going from a 50 down to 40 mph, I was in cruise set at 52 or something like that, suddenly double flash, wtf! turned around and re-traced my steps and the 40 mph sign was obscured by bushes. When I got the fixed penalty notice I wrote back with a photo of the concealed 40 mph sign saying that I was going to contest. A few weeks later got a reminder notice, which again I wrote back with the same explanation and that was the last I heard from them. Half the time they’re just after easy pickingsAngelus666 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:08 pm I did think they were meant to be visible, but apparently they don't have to be, and they are allowed to be very hidden if they want to be.
He was litterally sitting in a f*cking bush, he might as well have had full camoflage on. What makes it even more annoying is that two weeks prior to this, two scumbag black c*nts kicked in my neighbours door at 3am trying to get the keys to steal my car, holding a knife to her throat. Thick c*nts got the wrong house. The police turned up on time and were fairly good, but the CID have been shockingly bad, took them over 2 weeks to view the CCTV from my other neighbour and they need 6 weeks to try and match the DNA from a few bits of evidence. They haven't been back once to update on the case and see if my neighbour is ok.
Yet they can prioritise a man sitting in a bush all saturday afternoon catching speeding on a very clear A road.
If they wanted to reduce speeding then they should be standing in full view for all to see. People would slow down. This way it generates cash.

There are 1309 deaths a year on the road, and even if we agree that speed is a factor in 25% as per statistics (doesn’t even split it per speed over the limit though), then we are talking about 325 per year.
I for one do not believe it to be useful to allocate that much time and man power to that, whilst the same manpower can do much more in society as a whole if they were to concentrate on violent crime and burglaries that have a much bigger impact on society. There were 1.8 million violent crimes last year but they allocate time to such a trivial item
That is what I was saying above, signage has to be concise and clear other wise they would just put all sign in he foliage and just sit there reaping the rewards.sars wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:54 pmAlmost the same thing happened to me in Birmingham, going from a 50 down to 40 mph, I was in cruise set at 52 or something like that, suddenly double flash, wtf! turned around and re-traced my steps and the 40 mph sign was obscured by bushes.

true story my sister was caught and said to her husband she was going to say that exact thing, his words, not a great defence as you should not be going that quickly with poor visibility his job - traffic officerr2uzenblot wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 11:29 pm Just tell the courts it was so foggy that you couldn't see the road signs indicating a change in speed limit...
100% agree, I got caught years ago, 35 in a 30 and I swear there was no plod about, a few months later on the same stretch of road, he was there again - motorbike hidden amongst the carsNanu wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 8:08 pmIf they wanted to reduce speeding then they should be standing in full view for all to see.

I even got done for 8mph over in a 50 zone because I sped up into a gap in the traffic to let an ambulance get past which was on a blues and twos call. Its nothing about road safety, it's cash.
