Speeding laws are interpreted differently in Wales. I got "done" for over the limit in an HGV, doing 45 on an unrestricted A-road in Caernarfonshire in a Transit. A Transit is an HGV in Wales, and they weren't listening to arguments.
I was actually collecting a woman from a refuge to take her to a place of safety, but the North Wales Police weren't interested. I told the charity that I wouldn't do any more from Wales, but that North Wales Police had a Transit van with nothing better to do, and they should ask them in future (copy, of course, to the Chief Constable).
3 points and £60. I paid it myself, though the charity offered to. Not been to Wales since then (10 years or so ago).
