hi guys

before u shout CHILD KILLER!!!!!oneone, i've been driving since 1995, never pull over by cop or caught speeding etc. i ALWAYS stick on road work speed limits on any roads.

motor vehicle : XX52XXX Make/Model FORD FOCUS ZETEC
for the offence of : EXCEED 30MPH - RESTRICTED ROAD (ACD)
at :16:25 hours on 18/09/2008
at a speed of : 40MPH
at location : TOWNSEND AVENUE (NORTHBOUND), LIVERPOOL L11

does ACD means road work? if so, i drive on this road every day after work, i'm pretty sure this road speed limit is 40mph, i never ever seen any road work on this road.

also there is NO speed camera anywhere on this road, i know this road very well.

any advice?

cheers

oh right, what does it looks like?

No idea, i assume that it could be any number of un-manned cameras.

First thing to do is find out if it is a 40mph limit or not. Its its not then you will have to bite the bullet.

If its a 40 and its a built up area it will have 40mph signs at intervals along the roadside.

If you drive on it every day after work.

Then check the limit tonight while doing 30mph

I would have thought restricted meant a temporary speed restriction such as roadworks. Otherwise its not a restriction is it?
