Speeding NIP - A5
Discussion
I had a speeding NIP arrive in the post the other week, 74 on the A5 southbound between Cerrigydrudion and Ty-Nant, heading home late afternoon after a 5hr tab over Carnedd Llywelyn.
As I keep it down through the villages and it's single carriageway, I assume it's 74 in a 60.
Thing is I never spotted a van or PC standing with a laser gun. I've reviewed the dash cam footage at time of offence and still can't spot anything.
Have I missed an average speed trap or do North Wales Plod resort to parking behind walls/hedges ? I use this stretch about 5/6 times a year and know the spots where the van is usually parked (in plain sight).
NIP says I have to ask for a court hearing for disclosure of evidence against me, at cost of £130.
I'd be interested in local intel. I certainly won't be using this stretch again or putting any more coffers into the local tourist trade.

Dunno about the horse box 'cos I've deleted that section of the dash cam footage.
I remember being stuck behind some not very good bikers along that section. They were driving Miss Daisy through the twisty bits and then taking another 30yds to get back on the power when it straightened out. Hopefully they all got tickets aswell
Yep I know about the van sat at the bottom of the 3 lane hill after the cutting and it wasn't there on the day in question. I always bring it down to 60 cresting the bend.
I've seen exactly the scenario described, 5 back in a queue overtaking a dawdler down the hill and then spotting Plod with a hand held laser flagging down the Fabia VRS at the front...unlucky for him.
They also like the gap in the wall about 100yds past Corwen Fire Station which is still 30 and the Betwys Y Coed side of Penrhyn village with the long 40 section. I've actually been overtaken in this bit by a mini bus full of kids doing 60
