How do I stand?

[Naunt]

One for JR………. I was done for speeding yesterday, nothing really bad, 61 in a 50. What gets my goat is that they’d turned off the electronic 50 warning sign at the start of the dual carriageway and it was clearly a non-pedestrian area. (It was back on again half an hour later when I returned and they were gone) That said, the law is the law and 61 in a 50 IS a speeding offence, but when I asked where the speed trap equipment was, I was told that it was back up the dual carriageway with the other part of the team. I thought I was supposed to be shown the readout, otherwise how do I know they had a reading at all? I’ve been given three points fixed penalty and £60 fine. Am I able to see some evidence before I bend over and touch my toes? Thanks Edited by Naunt on Wednesday 25th July 14:14

There is nothing in the rules which says we have to show the display. We usually do it, but given the mode of use you have explained it is not practical. It is quite a common way to opperate speed traps if it is part of a directed speed campaign
