No warnings signs of speed trap camera - police hiding behind tree..
Alleged Offence: SP50
Your road traffic offence question: Running along the x to the x in x there are two fixed cameras on the Westbound lane and traveling in that direction there is adequate signage warning of the camera's. I was issued a NIP traveling Eastbound where a mobile van was at the site of one of the fixed camera's. There is no signage whatsoever for this direction and the van was behind a tree, i.e. <100 metres visibility at 50 mph. Does the mobile site comply with the rules to legally prosecute?

Im afraid there is no legal requirement for warning signs in relation to speed camera traps and you wont have a defence based on the fact that there wasn't a warning. the police are perfectly entitled to hide in a bush if they so chose.
Have you got any penalty points on your driving licence already? If so how many?
