New Speedtraps A303
Discussion
I think I fell foul of a sneaky speedtrap (van) coming through Ottery St Mary yesterday , round a bend suddenly into a 30mph , hey great place to catch some unwary motorists...think I was about 36mph but decreasing , not that that will be taken into account GRRRR ! Anyway thats my problem but what I did notice on the way back near Yeovil on the dual carriageway was the downright sneaky camera on the hard shoulder.
Normally you get some warning as they are parked in an obvious place but this one uses a dirty great roadsign to hide behind , he,s parked tight up the sign on the hard shoulder so you can,t see the luminescent stripes on the door , its just too late by the time you see the little box in the o/s window , again its on the Westbound section of the A303 past the Montacute roundabout nr Yeovil , but I dare say he moves around so beware !
I,ve also seen other traps further East nr Wincanton , obviously a Somerset police thing going on at the moment - BEWARE !
