Provide a description of events (if you know what happened) telling us as much about the incident as possible - some things that may seem trivial to you may be important, so don't leave anything out. Please do not post personal details for obvious reasons - The alleged offence is a speed of 37mph in a 30mph limit, on a dual carriageway. There are no official speed limit signs on this entire stretch of dual carriageway apart from some lamppost signs (square type) warning this is a 30mph zone. These are only visible if you are right next to the camera and they are set back from the road slightly and are above the height you would even notice them.
Details of event:
My girlfriend and I were driving to Brighton. We drove down the dual carriageway A243 Hook Road, my girlfriend driving. We realised that we needed petrol and we should go back and get some at the petrol station we had just passed. We drove past the camera, to the roundabout at the end turned back and purchased some petrol. We then switched drivers after filling up, and I drove past the same camera a second time. Neither of us noticed the camera flash at either time.
