Depends on how fast. 30-39 it's likely to be a fine straight off and 3-5 points; over 40 3-month ban as it's double the limit

You would think thle best place to put a 20mph speed camera is on Barry Road in this area. They have just put speed bumps in to Landels, not sure of the point exactly though as very hard to do 20+ down it before anyway!


Is there any actual data on the impact 20mph limit has had v 30?

I don't understand the OP.


There's a clear speed limit. And clear penalties for speeding. And an obvious camera at that spot. Which is near a school, if memory serves.


Unlucky to be caught maybe, but twice?


I can't understand how a lawyer could help?

Yes - including a 75% reduction in fatality risk if someone is struck at 30mph compared to 20mph. https://www.rospa.com/rospaweb/docs/advice-services/road-safety/drivers/20-mph-zone-factsheet.pdf


The point of putting the speed camera outside the school is that it's where lots of kids will be crowding twice a day.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
