I was 'caught on a dual carriageway section on the English side of the new Severn crossing and was advised I had done 81 in a 70 area. I cannot dispute this (Van on bridge) but I know I was doing below 70 when overtaking the only other vehicle on about a 2 mile stretch. I was going to a police HQ because my son received a ticket which we had replied to (I bought him a car). which had been lost by the speed enforcement unit so I delivered a copy !
One wonders about how the revenue is used because that's 3 tickets in 2 weeks for the family - all small exceedence but potentially liable for £1000 fine and points.
I used to think cameras were used to improve road safety but revenue generation, given the conditions these happened in seems a much more plausible justification.
Anyone and thoughts ?
