Caught speeding - advice

Afternoon gents, literally got caught speeding about an hour ago, doing 41 in a 30. I know I was wrong for speeding and all that but just wondered if anyone here has any knowledge of whether how they caught me was legal

 

They were parked down a side road meaning their car was completely hidden, and the copper was also stood behind a line of two parked cars. I didn't even see him till he walked out in the road to get me to stop!

 

I was under the illusion that they must be visible when performing these speed checks?

 

Any advice or correction would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

There should be signs to warn that it is a police check area and your right they are meant to be visible, however good luck contesting it and getting a copper to admit he was hiding out of sight.

 

Unless your going to loose your licence because you've got points already just pay up early and avoid further costs and points, if it's going to cost your license get yourself a decent solicitor soon and start contesting it.

 

All the best

41 in a 30 ? And then you come on here hoping that someone will give you some advice as to how to get out of it ?

 

Lots of us have got kids, you know. Personally, a fair bit over the limit like that, I'd be happy to see them take you to court for a harsher penalty than the base 3 pts / £60 fine

I would ignore the PW police. :good: Forget all the man down the pub baloney about there should be signs, or you should be able to see them or there must be 2 officers there it is rubbish. Where you stopped at the roadside and given a verbal Notice of Intended Prosecution? 41 in a 30 might mean a trip to court, what constabulary was it? Have a look on the pepipoo speeding forum http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=5

 

There is no magic get out of jail free card, you will have to accept the punishment as it is dished out. Try slowing down a bit in future and being more observant, good luck! :good:
