Sign error may mean speeders let-off


Thousands of motorway speeding convictions could be overturned because the font used to display the numbers on some variable speed limit signs may not have complied with traffic regulations.

The Crown Prosecution Service said the signs showed mph numbers taller and narrower than they should have been.

Some lawyers and traffic consultants now want any penalties which were handed out over the course of the six years the signs were in place to be quashed, arguing they are not legally enforceable.

What a load of bulls**t, if someone was caught speeding on a motorway then regardless of the size of the sign or the narrowness of the numbers, I really have never heard anything so ridiculous, then they should be punished.

Forget the stupid criteria if the number on the sign was visible then there shouldn’t be anything to complain about, and if anyone pulls an Arsene Wenger and says they didn’t see it then they should be made to have an eye test.
