Roads in the area

Will they consider refunding the fines for those who were caught at speeds between 20 and 30 ?

That's an interesting point DVT and if the Council have not followed the law to the letter then someone will find a technical error.
As you have said it was a waste of time and money and should have been thought out properly before being implemented./

I remember years ago the council or Police moved the speeding signs on the road going from Bangor to Llandegai and as a result the following day dozens of motorists, including a friend of mine got fined.       They admitted their mistake and the money was refunded.     Would CCBC ever make a mistake

It's 15 years ago since the topic of young newly qualified drivers was first discussed. Since that time nothing has changed including accidents of multiple occupancy cars killing several, if not all,   of the occupants. I think only last week there was a report of one where 4 out of 5 were killed when the car left the road and hit a tree. 'Fortunately' most of these types of accidents don't tend to involve other vehicles but still, why does the government refuse to do something about it. Kids have too be saved from themselves sometimes.

It's bomkers Dave, there's no excuse for it.

The new Highway Code rule drivers may still not know
Guilty motorists could get between three and nine penalty points or even a £2500 FINE
 One of the key messages to motorists and cyclists is that when pedestrians are crossing or waiting to cross at a junction, other traffic should always give way.
As a regular dog walker I haven't seen that happening many times.      Motorists don't seem to use their indicators any more  and it's difficult for pedestrians to know if they are turning or not.    I've crossed over a road junction a few times and nearly been hit by a driver who hasn't indicated
Apart fron that who is going to enforce this rule?      You rarely see a Policeman on the beat and the Traffic Police are too busy doing other work
