Possible variable speed limit ticket M25

[Badger_grr]

Hey guys. We were just coming round M25 with a variable speed limit of 40mph on an overhead gantry. No congestion, actually very little traffic. Travelling at around 50-55 slowing down. 10 or so flashes for us and all cars around and the next gantry back to 70.

Do you think this was a mistake? Am I likely to see a notice through the door? Do we have any argument? Seems to me it was a mistake or malicious intent to squeeze some money out of drivers. No history of traffic violations. Cheers

Im not arguing against the use of variable limits. Never seen anything like it. Not normal to be at 70, come round a bend have 40 onthe gantry with no congestion and then the next gantry 200m away to be back at 70. No congestion for remainder of journey no stopped vehicles, no reason for it. In fact it was the clearest I've ever seen the M25! Hopefully they will realise something was not right. There must have been 20 tickets issued in that 10 second lightshow.
