The camera in question is a ‘ tourist trap’ in Bournemouth. it literally traps people from all over the UK and the course leader actually mentioned people joining other courses from abroad.
It’s the main duel carriage way and there is a sudden change from 50 to 40 I didn’t observe. I did think I was driving at the correct speed. ( please people no need to post to tell me how deserving of this £230 +plus punishment I am).
I post a photo showing over nine thousand people were punished by my camera last year. There are speed camera signs everywhere. I am certain missed that essential sign just like me.
If the 2nd - I would seriously question the accuracy of that0 -

The OP recalls "the course leader actually mentioned people joining other courses from abroad."
It is quite likely that the detail of holiday or non-UK was never shared. Hence why the OP does not know "I don’t remember the course tutor telling us that detail". If the detail was not advised, the OP cannot recall it.1 -

if so then it is well signposted, and there is actually a roundabout in between the 40 and the next speed camera (which is also signposted), so you'd have to presumably slow down to an almost halt for the roundabout and then get up to 50 again in time for the camera.

The fault will be mine!
