I went back to where I got the ticket last night, to understand where I went wrong.
All there was, were two warnings of upcoming speed limit signs, a speed trap warning sign, two 30mph signs and 30mph written in three foot tall letters on the road.
What chance did I have ?
The speed camera was only installed recently.
Ooops

After more than 50 years of driving, I've received my first notification of speeding.
I have evidently missed a reduction in limit on a dual carriageway from 40mph to 30mph.
Obviously my fault, but I was totally unaware.
Wake up old men, don't take things for granted.
If offered, I'm likely to take the awareness course.
Any advice ?
I wasn't in my car, I was driving Val's. as long as you where not massively over the speed limit , and with your excellent history you will offered the awareness course , its easy to do on line think it costs £100 and is about 1 1/2 -2 hours long ,.my wife did it 3 years ago caught in a speed reduction limit on motorway , she said the course was very straightforward .. lucky it was not in Scotland !!! no speed awareness course available ,so minimum 3 points and a fine .....thanks to the SNP muppets in govt in Scotland !!
was Paul S,now just paul...Member since Oct 2000,Coupe may be FATALLY injured - :(oh no it's not

Just a heads up tp make you aware that if you do get offered a speed awareness course then my understanding is you do not necessarily have to take the course in your local area. There are a variety of online providers around the country which charge differing amounts (around £79-100) and all are valid to discharge your obligation to complete the course
