in a place designed to trap the unwary.

There is a very easy way not to get caught by a speed camera, don't break
the speed limit. There are signs and the type, location and lighting
should tell you what the speed limit is without signs. If the limit
differs from what it should be for the type, location and lighting then
there must be small repeator boards telling you the speed limit.

As I said, 'designed'. There have been cases (I know it's not legal)
where the boards are missing or obscured, and that is where the cameras
do well. A lot of the cases that are overturned are where that has
occurred. Unfortunately, for every one that is overturned, many more,
caught in the same trap (I use the word advisedly) have just paid up.

Incidentally, I have no axe to grind. I have never been caught speeding!
Nor do I condone it, but I do object to cases where cameras are clearly
treated as a cash cow.
