I should imagine the local police are as frustrated with them as you are. The police can't take any action against anyone when the information provided is not validated properly. I assume it would be dealt with as a complaint and take even more police work to follow upbloggoth

Speedwatch:
This web site is the unofficial web site of the Speedwatch volunteers in North West Cambridgeshire, Ramsey and St. Ives area. This web site does not represent the views of the police, council, government or any official body or person.This is a private web site, managed by some (not all) of the volunteers.Photography - sometimes we will photograph the number plate, this is to assist us in identifying the correct index number onsite, with vehicle make & model, the image being immediately deleted.
From the Police:
The registered owner of any vehicle seen exceeding the speed limit is sent an advisory letter from their local neighbourhood policing team, explaining that speeding is unacceptable to the local community.Can motorists be prosecuted?
No these checks are about educating motorists.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

So you drive like a tool-faced Mr Toad through my otherwise quiet village with no regard for the speed limit because your right to do whatever speed you damn well like overrides the law of the land and any concept of decency and you're complaining because plod sends you a letter asking you nicely to pack in?

I see this every day on the M25, where some officious muppet puts up a 40 MPH speed limit on the gantries every morning for no apparent reason.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

In our local villages there are two major danger spots where kids cross the road to school, both near dangerous junctions or bends. They should be monitoring motorists approaching those but they do not, they hang around to catch people not slowing down fast enough as they enter the village although the chances of an accident there are very small, there being fenced open plots on either side. Another major factor is clearly the areas where they can sit on chairs in the sun and have a chat, unlike those more dangerous areas where they would have to stand. You only see them on sunny warm days, never cold foggy ones. This is more of social event for those with nothing better to do.bloggoth

My current commute takes me across county for 60 odd miles. There are stretches of road that once were 60mph and are now 40 mph and there maybe one or two houses a mile apart. Villages that used to have a 40mph limit now have a 30mph limit and the edge of the limit has be extended half a mile or so outside the village. Unless the street lighting regulations have changed theses limits are probably illegal. Nice long straight stretches of road, now have double centre lines and just add to the frustration of driving behind tractors and Micras. I have never seen any driver drive fast through the villages but there are always plenty of locals in their Micras doing 20mph in the village and 30mph on the country roads.
Some villages have a flashing slow down sign but these seem to be set of at any speed above 25mph. The speed limits have become most confusing and can change half a dozen times within a mile."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
