Speed trap locations
Discussion
Absolutely not. They can be pretty much anywhere you can imagine. There is also no requirement for them to be visible in anyway, and so can be hidden behind walls and hedges.
Each station will often have constantly changing "target areas" based on complaints by local residents. You can never be sure where a car/bike will be.

Ah, so you thought you could argue on a technicality if you get a NIP?
i.e. the camera wasn't in an area where they have those nice signs telling me to expect a camera, or my SATNAV never told me there would be a camera?
It's so unfair being caught speeding like this .
Nope, more just wanted to know if it was a camera car or not. I mean there was a chance the copper could have been doing something worthwhile... Yeah slim chance I know.i.e. the camera wasn't in an area where they have those nice signs telling me to expect a camera, or my SATNAV never told me there would be a camera?

Ah, catching rapists, murders etc? How about potentially stopping someone losing a love one due to someone driving too fast?iandc said:
and why would the perfect driver need to use CAPITAL LETTERS?
Nobody is a perfect driver and TBH I get fed up with drivers who seem to need these detectors so they can go and deliberately start speeding - there is no other reason for them - unless they are crap drivers of course who need to go back to basic training where they did not speed because they would have failed the test if they hadRant over
Avon and Somerset post theirs:

I presume it's an official site; it might be more accurate to say someone posts Avon and Somerset's!

WHY WOULD A GOOD DRIVER NEED TO BOTHER ABOUT SPEED TRAPS ?
Well because good drivers will drive to conditions which are increasingly out of line with the posted limits since cars and roads are getting better while speed limits are getting lower.Also, the lying hypocrites running the speed camera racket know that richer pickings are made just at those places good drivers have identified as where they can get their toe down a bit, despite the pitiful low limit.
