 The motorists say the speed limit was changed without warning |
A group of motorists have launched their fight against speeding fines they received in Bangor, Gwynedd, after a reduction in the speed limit. They were caught on the A5, where a 40mph zone was changed to 30mph.
Solicitor Ray Woodward, representing more than 20 motorists on Wednesday, said the 30mph limit was unlawful.
Magistrates in Caernarfon, where more drivers are expected to appear next week, adjourned until next month.
A group of up to 100 motorists formed their own organisation called Dyna Ddigon (That's Enough), - hijacking the title of North Wales Police's chief constable Richard Brunstrom's campaign against anti-social behaviour.
They claimed they did not know the speed limit had been reduced, after they were caught on camera last year.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is to meet Gwynedd County Council, which is responsible for traffic order procedures, next week.
Police insist that the proper procedures were followed and that advance notice had been published.
