| It seems daft to me as well that no positive action is being taken against the stupid morons who put them selves and others in danger by using the Network to get from A to B. We have a policy that all pedestrians get fined this way it stops the regular ones who know that they will get a free lift to... |

Yes perfectly legal and acceptable,I suppose the answer is don't do anything wrong and you will not have anything to fear,like 99% of drivers out there. The camera van's have rules to follow in relation to signs and flashing orange beacons on top.

| Hello and welcome, You admit to speeding then take your punishment like the ones before you,and hopefully you might learn something from it. If you fight it and loose,as you are a new driver,you could end up getting hammered at court,ie bigger fine and about 4 to 5 points or you could be lucky if th... |

Once again a technicallity which rightly or wrongly he got away with,but that doesnt mean he was not guilty,which he obviously was as he never once denied it was him just that the quality of the evidence was poor,which is a poor show on behalf of the people who run the camera.
