Millions in refunds for motorists after Hampshire's speed limits collapse

Signing expert, retained by Parking Appeals for our own cases, has recorded another major victory.

Millions of pounds of fines could have to be refunded after a landmark ruling found several speed limits on Hampshire's roads are not legally enforceable.

The judge's decision on Friday opens the door to thousands of motorists to claim their money back, but that could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Amusingly Hampshire County Councillor Mel Kendall dubs Richard as a 'self-styled' expert witness and claims the motorist has 'got off on a technicality' in the BBC report here

Well, Councillor, that 'technicality' is actually THE LAW and by not abiding by THE LAW it has meant that such cases will continue to collapse until you obey THE LAW.

The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 is not a comic or a picture book ... it is THE LAW!!! Perhaps instead of trying to slander the expert witness who the judge happened to agree with you should be spending your time constructively in investigating who it was who decided that the council could ignore the law.

Meanwhile, if the motorists fined unlawfully are not refunded voluntarily then the council can prepare itself for a great deal more publicity.
