Hi mate,
Yeah we had a new estate built near us recently where many people were caught speeding in a 30. Everyone bit the bullet and just took it until one person complained, saying that although there were no indicated signs and therefore the road should be assumed a 30, the street lighting was actually too far apart for a 30, the court upheld this and all the previous "guilty, offending, speeders" had their points removed and refunds applied. A great lesson in "just take it, your guilty" etc when something's niggling inside you telling you that your not.
