1232641	2011-09-21 03:22:00	Yes you certainly know where they are in England, it's when they spring a hand held into the mix on an uphill section of road 5m from where it changes from 5kph to 100kph. That was 3 days before I left and I still had to payup. When I went to get my NZ licence I had to show my UK one and that ticket was flagged on the system here too. Thankfully it's long gone off my licence now	gary67 (56)

No more than 20 metres from where the speed restriction began to the end of the works and a sign back to 50km/h. There was absolutely no work being done at this speed restricted spot, and there were no hazards, or equipment or areas of loose metal or reduced visibility, but there was a pole mounted speed camera smack in the middle of this section. Everyone was just barrelling through at their usual 50-55km/h If that camera had been set to the 20/30km/h threshold of these bogus roadworks they'd have earned a ton of revenue, and a ton of hate. Don't know if it was a deliberate setup, but it looked like a filthy trap.	Paul.Cov (425)
