No speed trap warning signs
Dear Emma,
I have been spotted speeding by a mobile speed check unit.
They have provided the photographic evidence.
Can you please let me know if there should legally be a warning signs before any speed check camera or mobile radar.
There were no signs at all and do I have any legal argument?
Your speedy response will be very much appreciated.

Im afraid not. There are guidelines that suggest the police should warn of speed traps, but when it comes to convicting you the court is only interested in whether or not the prosecution can prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. The lack of warning signs is not a bar to conviction.
Have you got any points already? if so how many?
What speed have they alleged?
