I recentley was diverted down a road I do not normally travel.It was in the hours of darkness. This road is a dual carriageway 40mph limit. I passed through 2 cameras in 500 yards. No probs I was travelling at 40. I was also over taking several HGVs. To my surprise a 3rd camera cought me a further 400yrds, at the bottom of a hill. I was still tavelling at 40!
I went back only to find that after the secong camera a 30mph restriction starts. I also saw that there were two signs one either side but the one on the central reservation had no illumination as the light was not working and was consequently not visible. My veiw to the nearside one was obstructed as I overtook the HGVs.
I dont mind getting caught for blatent bad driving but I never saw the sign because it was out. Is there a defence that the sign was not maintained as it would be in a traffic light case.
Regards.
