    A single, very large screen towards the left side of the road (rather than one small screen above each lane?)

    From what I remember it was a bigger screen to the left showing a red 40 and red triangle with an ! In the middle I didn't see anything above the lanes until a bit further down the road when I saw all 4 lane screens showing the white and black national speed limit sign

    In that case its probably an advisory limit, in order to be an enforceable sped limit sign it must be a white number within a red circle, either as a traditional printed sign or displayed on a display screen.

    There wasn't any white just a red 40 with a red triangle next to it

    Did it look like that with 40 written above/below it?

    Sounds as though you'll be okay.

    I don't think you can get speed awareness courses for motorway offences. I thought they were only available for restricted speed area (30mph) offences.

    Thanks - I didn't know that.

    It did kinda look like that clip art but it was on a black background as it was on one of those electronic screens

    Some of these can display an enforceable limit, but are not usually linked to speed cameras.



    I didn't see anything like that above the lanes would they still of put what I saw on the screen to the left if this had been above the lanes?

    Yes....

    This sort of thing. Newer one have better "graphics" and multi-colour capability. (I couldn't find a picture of one of those).

    edit: Here's one from Holland (can't imagine what the graphic means - maybe beware of stoner drivers).

    It was kind of like that but a bigger screen with better graphics and red instead of orange

    The only things that's worrying me is a little down the road it had the national speed limit sign in all screens across the lanes would they have had that if the speed limit was only shown on big screen?
