UK: Hundreds of motorists fined after pranksters put up 40mph sign in 30mph zone

The guy that put this up probably got done for speeding on the same camera and thought that by putting this up immediately after would be a way of getting out of it. Nice try. :p http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1388653/Hundreds-motorists-fined-pranksters-40mph-sign-30mph-zone.html

Are you sure someone just didn't turn the one around on the opposite side of the road?

I wonder if the people that got fined because if this will be reimbursed and have their penalty points removed. Somehow I suspect not :rolleyes:.
