A solicitor friend of mine has just sent me this notice about a speed camera on the A65 between Leeds and Skipton:

"
As you may have read, a speed camera on the A65 Leeds to Skipton Road has been shown to be illegal due to the authorities failing to obtain the proper order before setting it up. Anybody who was convicted of speeding from this camera, even if they pleaded guilty, may be able to have their conviction quashed and the points removed from their licence. If you or anybody you know, whether they are friends, family, clients or professional contacts, were caught by this illegal camera then please refer them to me.

This case shows the importance of drivers questioning and challenging motoring offences. Mistakes such as the one above are more common than you would think.
For further details of the above case, please see the link below:

"

It could well be worth passing on to anyone who has been caught out, they can contact either Robert Ward or Jeremy Scott at Langleys york. they both have a bit of a track record in dealing with motoring offences.

Mark.

"but an oversight meant there was no legal speed limit in force, despite 40 mph signs on show."

Where would one find a list of other such roads with no speed limit in force? biggrin

That's awful whats happened to the man and it's daft that the things 'illegal'. But is there anything he can really do after being caught and then 'admitting' that he was speeding when its clearly not legal in the first place... rotate
