FPN then summoned?
Discussion
Question for the BiBs or someone more knowledgable than me 
On the road outside my industrial unit a mobile scamera was making massive revenue at 7.00am. Its a national speed limit into a 30 and the van was 100m inside the 30 limit. The workshop foreman got caught at 63mph!
