Camouflagued speed camera Chester Rd A452, Streetly. B74 2HN?

Question

When I approached the roundabout at Chester Rd Streetly the speed limit was 40, I saw no speed signs on Chester Rd only camera signs so assumed it was still 40, I got flashed doing 39. But on the way back there were four 30mph signs but nothing on the otherside of the rd, that hardly seems fair. I went back to the roundabout to check for a speed limit sign & saw a 30 sign masked by the lights of a Shell garage immediately behind it on the roundabout & because the garage was so brightly lit it distracted attention from the sign & rendered it inconspicious. My eyesight is perfect, I have been driving for 8 yrs without a blemish on my license as I am a cautious driver :-( Any advice please?

Answer 1

If you have the time,Take photographs ,And argue this in court,Inform the media,Make a song and dance about it.Best of luck.

Answer 2

Take pictures of it and write to the relevant people.  Ask either at the police station or wait till the fine details comes through the post.  I would not wait as this can take up to three months after that they can not do you for it.  Recently i heard of a guy getting done for doing 30 in a 20 zone but he got off with it because there was no clear indication where the 20 mile zone started and finished.  Also street lights present and spaced out in a certain length is supposed to be a indication of the speed you should be doing ie 30mph

I would fight it tho take no sh*t and kick up a fuss.

It has been proved that Speed cameras do not save life's anyway nothing but a money grabbing scheme.  Some areas with cameras, accidents have gone up by 35% compared to areas with no cameras.

Answer 3

Perfect driving record, go to court and ask the judge for defense driving and keep your record clean.

Answer 4

stop try trying to blame others for your bad driving

your the one in control of a car its your responsibility to drive safely.

Answer 5

You're not a cautious driver, you missed the signs and got caught speeding. "I didn't see the sign" is not a defence, pay up and take more care in future.
