Just a word of warning for anyone using the A303 to the west country.

Got to work this morning to find myself with a speeding ticket!!!

I was caught by a mobile unit parked on the A36/A303 junction, doing 83mph, clear roads, Sunday morning. Obviously an "accident black spot".

So, just be careful if you're heading down this way over the holiday season.

Just type your county and speed cameras into Google and most counties have a site up telling you where they are going to be.

I use the A303 often, i live in devon and my family are in west sussex, so i know all the speed camera sites, this one is a non permanent site, they park a van on the A36 bridge, but only every now and then.

It's the first time in years that i've been caught, so i'm hopeing that i'll get the same treatment as others that i know have had recently, they've been offered a speed awarness course for the same money as the fine, but no points!

It was only 83mph.
