Camera van issuing ticket, for breaking trailer towing speed limit?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has received a ticket for breaking the trailer-towing speed limit of 80km from one of these speed camera vans.

    The case:

    Pulling a trailer in a 100km zone in Donegal a few days ago.

    Saw the camera van but didn't think anything of it.

    Looked at speedo on van which stated we were travelling at 85km/h at the time. Slowed back to 80km but too late.

    Received ticket in the post this morning for doing 87km in a 100km zone. Now I've looked it up, the speed limit for towing a trailer is 80km.

    Could the camera van have detected the trailer and adjusted the speed limit which applied because of this, or is this a mistake?

    Passed a second camera a while later so now expecting a second ticket. :rolleyes:

    Any helpful advice appreciated.
