Just out of curiosity...
I was wondering do mobile speed cameras ever operate on the weekends. More so on the weekends after 5pm? Also I see signs on the M1 and a46 for mobile speed cameras. Even my nav shows these locations but I never actually see them. Do they hide on intersecting bridges above? And can they hide on bridges even when it's pitch black / you can't see them?

Just out of curiosity... I was wondering do mobile speed cameras ever operate on the weekends. More so on the weekends after 5pm? They can operate whenever, there's been cases where they've caught people at 2am Also I see signs on the M1 and a46 for mobile speed cameras. Even my nav shows these locations but I never actually see them. Do they hide on intersecting bridges above? And can they hide on bridges even when it's pitch black / you can't see them? They don't normally "hide", and as a matter of policy they usually are visible from the road, but legally there is no requirement to this effect. If they're on an unlit road (or an unlit bridge above a road) and by the time you see them it's too late to slow down, that is no defence. There is no requirement in law that speeding drivers should be allowed a sporting chance to spot camera vans and slow down before getting caught. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
