Speeding Ticket

[Gaverick]

I got caught doing 40 in a 30 a few weeks back by a mobile safety van. I was at the Pirelli rally on Saturday and got talking to a guy who told me that there is a list of approved sites that the camera must be at otherwise I can't be done for speeding. I checked the website and found the list here;

Now I was caught speeding on Leechmere road which isn't listed anywhere on the websites list of mobile sites.

Can I get out of it, and if so how would I go about doing that?

Can't see any mention of "approved" sites on that page.

The approved sites bit came from the guy I was talking to and that is the only page I could find listing mobile camera sites, he seemed quite knowledgeable because he was related to a lawyer and gave me a load of advice.

I know there will be a lot of people coming in on their high horse saying pay up you were speeding but if I can get out of it I am going to. I always obey the speed limits it's not like I hoon around everywhere, it was a momentary lapse of concentration on an unfamiliar road where the limit went from 60 to 30.

Could you find us a link to "approved sites" regs to look at.

I'm related to a surgeon, would you let me take your spleen out?

I'm just exploring everything I was told, simply looking for a bit of advice, I wasn't asking for unhelpful and sarcastic replies, if people don't think they can help please just hit the back button.

Not being funny mate and certainly not trying to be sarcastic, but you have been caught speeding and openly admit your guilt on this forum - why would you not do the honest thing, stick your hands up and deal with the consequences like most everyone else?

It's more to do with my views towards mobile speed vans, they way they set them up and the places they put them. I just don't like the way they operate altogether, especially this one which was placed right on the 60/30 boundary getting people who accelerate that little bit early but that's a whole new discussion.

I'm probably one of the slowest drivers you know, I drive a 306 diesel and just try to get from A to B using the least fuel possible and always follow the speed limits.

I'm just going to leave this thread now as I doubt there will be any helpful advice given, thanks for looking anyway.
