Handy bit of information. Mind you it's easier to do what the French do with regard to traffic velocity safety equipment.

Lorry driver cleared of speed camera warning

A lorry driver accused of waving his arm out of his window to warn other motorists that they were approaching a speed camera has won a two-year fight to clear his name.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has been refused permission to appeal to the House of Lords against the acquittal of Charles Glendinning who claimed he was alerting other drivers that he was slowing after a warning light flashed in his cab.

Mr Glendinning, 56, a milk tanker driver from Yeovil, Somerset, was found guilty of obstructing police in December on the A303.

In March, a crown court upheld his appeal on the grounds that the prosecution could not prove any speeding motorists had slowed down as a result of his actions.
