If your average speed is more than 20mph they know your takings the P.
You might get away with it. They might take a very dim view and throw the book at you .
No points yet...

I'm gonna go back tonight and check the position of the signs. Looked into it and found they must be in very specific locations or else it's non enforceable
Also found out if I appeal and they reject I have another 14 days to pay the lower fine.
Do you reckon they can prosecute or something if I come up with a really stupid challenge to the notice?

If it were me, I would pay the fine and take it on the chin with a mental note not to do it again.

This might only be for lanes with dotted lines for vehicles to enter when preparing to turn left (there's one Eastbound on the A40 just past the Edgware Rd).

Let us know what happens.
