I was coming along eastwards on the A5 at Ty-Nant, there were a couple of very slow cars, and on the straight bit, with no traffic coming towards me, I started signalling and moving out, then a car behind me overtakes.
As soon as he overtook I overtook the the slow cars as well, he was in front of me, still overtaking, and I saw a speed camera van facing us on a lay-by, I was exceeding the 60mph speed limit, doing about 70mph, I do not know if the other speeding car shielded me from the camera. I had a look at Googe street view, and I noticed we had gone over the double white line in the road. Does anyone know if I can be prosecuted if the camera saw that I went over the lines, or do they just detect speeding cars. I accept I am going to have a fine, but I do not want a double fine, and double points. Many Thanks |

Camera vans can and do witness offences other than speeding and prosecutions can follow.

Where two offences (that you are penalised for) occur at the same time you do get two fines but will usually only get one set of points (they can decide to give two but it's vanishingly rare).
