If anyone is passing through these on the way to Glasgow soon i'd appreciate it if you could tell me if there are 0, 1 or 2 of these signs on the carriageway at the end of the roadworks. Photographic evidence would be great although i will try to get there myself asap to do that.   Thanks. Sandy |

Can't afford a lawyer but if they do send a summons i'm looking to fight.
If the correct terminal signage is not used then no matter that they have a million repeater signs or that they prove you knew the limit the limit is unenforceable. Case law Smith v Rankine 1977.
Did you get done too ?

mine is rediculous - the statement is laughable - and if i lose im leaving the country
Prob gonna post after my result - but this is a good old fashioned case of [ ] justice.
That said - my lawyer is a top boy - saved me before - but this is a genuine defence. I cant use the words to describe how I feel about road traffic police - Tikay would ban me.
As I say thou - not jinxing it - im up on 29th (3rd deferral by Crown) - because they dont have a leg to stand on. They are hoping I run out of money - little do they know im fixed fee

If i'm correct on this route i'll be contacting media folks as they are targetting this road now and it's going to cost them loads. Just gotta confirm my initial thought and get pics/vids as evidence then hopefully media coverage will stop all pending cases and i get an easy let off.

why advertise you live in scotland?
It's like starting a thread asking if anyone else has noticed the waiting times are getting longer at the STD clinic

 http://www.abd.org.uk/speed_limit_signs.htm#roadworkshttp://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=41253&start=0&p=368879&#entry368879"There is a Scottish case specifically on one missing terminal sign, Smith v Rankine; the accused cannot be convicted, and subsequent (i.e. between the terminal signs and the detection of the offence) correct repeaters, cannot correct the defect. In Smith v Rankine the missing terminal sign was lying on the verge, having apparently been damaged by a passing vehicle. It had been damaged for, at most, a week. It also held that the fact that the accused knew that the limit was 40 MPH, and that it had been 'previously properly restricted' (he was a local) was irrelevent." How many refunds will the is produce ? 1000+ Happy days. In your eye Mr policeman Sandy |

I don't get it. if they didn't tell you that the roadworks had ended then shouldn't you be going even slower?
