Ticket or not?

Hidden scamera van A303 today, 'got' me at indicated 80, actual (according to TomTom and cruise control) 76mph, dual carriageway 70mph limit, clear, sunny and dry with nothing else either behind or in front of me for a good 500yds.

What do you reckon, will I get a NIP or will I get away with it..

I reckon you'll get away with it.

Are you sure it was a dual-carriageway ie east and west bound carriageways separated by a barrier ? There are stretches where the A303 is two lane but not classified as dual carriageway, AFAIK.

If it was, then you'll probably be OK. I don't think Wiltshire are renowned for prosecuting below the 10%+2 guideline threshold.

Yep, deffo proper dual seperated by barriers, a bit west of Thruxton. I don't mind any cameras being in built up areas or blackspots but this one seemed so pointless, wasn't even a deterrent as he was hidden and could only be seen when 100yds away.

Not sure this is going to be much help but in Swindon at the moment there isn't a 10% + 2...its a 10+1..so I was told by a local policeman.

Then again he could have been having me on...
