Have pasted the copy in to save linking accross:
Story in the papers today ... an estimated 2,500 drivers who were wrongly fined and given penalty points when a speed camera was placed in the wrong position are not being told of the error.
The drivers were photographed on the M4 near Newport in South Wales at junction 24, known as the Coldra roundabout. The camera was to monitor vehicles passing roadworks with a 50mph limit. Instead it was placed 200 metres past the speed restriction and drivers who were legally accelerating up to 70mph were caught.
Despite admitting the error, the Safeta Camera Partnership said yesterday there would be no blanket amnesty and that drivers would have to appeal individually to have the fine and penalty points rescinded.
Ten drivers have so far appealed to magistrates to overturn their penalties and all have won their case.
