Does anyone know if the law has changed regarding mobile speed vans? I thought it had to be visible.

My son was caught out with one hiding behind a bank of trees on a road he mistakenly thought was 40.

    there has never been a bar to prosecution due to visibility. Not ever. In North Wales they have been known to disguise them as horse boxes.

    Do the crime, get caught, pay the fine.

    Hiding, or as with the speed limit signage, just not noticed? Maybe it was in plain sight and he missed it?
