So the argument is that it's irrelevent whether they've been approved now with the same font, when the penalties were issued they weren't approved, so were technically unenforceable

And as the Daily Mail reported back in December http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ing-signs.html



They wouldn't have done that if it wasn't an issue
The only issue was paperwork so i doubt very much there will be any back dated quashing of convictions or refunding fines/increased insurance premiums etc.At the end of the day those cameras on managed motorways are only active when a reduced speed is in force due an accident or congestion so anyone appealing for speeding in those conditions needs their car confiscating
