I think I have been snapped by a speed camera yesterday.
I was only doing 50 in a 40 zone on the A40...
The thing is I passed a yellow painted camera about a minute before hand and at that time I was going 40.
I then passed a stationary white van which was concealing a portable camera that was under a tree!!
The only reason I saw it was from the flash...and then looking back on it in my rear view mirrors
Are these cameras even legal?? I thought you had to be warned about where they have been planted. I thought thats the whole reason why the other cameras are so visible and painted yellow.
Also about 1/5 a mile down the speed limit changes to 50mph. How can they prove where their portable camera is situated?? I could say it was in the 50 zone...
Do you think I have a case to avoid payment or will I have to pay the fine if it arrives?
