A High Wycombe man who lost half the points on his licence for a speeding offence just days after passing his test is one of many people who feel somewhat cheated by his local council.
20-year-old Fraser Wilson was stung for a £60 fine and saw his next young driver car insurance quote rise by £200 as a result of the offence. A speed camera had clocked him driving at a little over 30mph on Marlow Hill.
That particular speed trap had been the subject of much controversy since it started enforcing the 30mph limit - and catching out hundreds of people who would normally consider themselves very safe drivers.
That includes local council member Pauline Wilkinson, who lost her licence altogether in 2005 after the camera flashed her twice in the same day.
But the current row over the Marlow Hill camera concerns the council's attempt to put the problem right, by raising the speed limit to 40mph.
Motorists who use the road are happy the limit has been raised but many of those who have been caught and fined previously - for driving in a way the council has now admitted is not dangerous - are campaigning to get their money back.
"I think it's great they want to put it up to 40mph, although I genuinely thought it was 40 already," said Wilson regarding his offence and the new ruling. "I just got confused."
Mike Page, spokesman for the young driver car insurance champions at Hoot, said: "In retrospect, it seems desperately unfair that Fraser Wilson should have to pay £260 when councillors have admitted the speed limit that snagged him was set too low.
"Even worse, he will go on paying inflated motor insurance premiums for many years for the offence.
"But ultimately, we have to obey posted road laws and limits whether we think they are reasonable or unreasonable. The speed limit on the day Wilson was caught was 30mph and he was driving faster than that - so the fine is justified."
