Khan accused of cover-up over unlawful speeding fines: The Telegraph

A Crown Court ruling could open the door to refunds for more than 66,000 drivers fined after the A20 limit drop, lawyers said.

  • Sadiq Khan has been accused of covering up concerns about an allegedly unlawful A20 speed-limit change that generated more than £6 million in fines for Transport for London.
  • Transport for London lowered the A20 speed limit from 70 mph to 40 mph in October 2023 after cars reportedly left the road during wet conditions, and the limit was later restored.
  • More than 66,000 drivers were reportedly fined before the speed limit was restored.
  • A court acquitted one driver after seeing a restricted document that reportedly indicated the official who approved the change may not have had authority; Khan and Transport for London deny wrongdoing and maintain that the orders were lawful.
