Contesting smart motorway fine

Considering how dirty cars get on motorways, and how much dirt and dust is flying around - if these signs are all sensor driven - what happens when the sensors get dirty ■■?

I’m tempted to pop to Poland and get a set of Polish plates from a friendly local garage to pop on my car ! :smiley: The Eastern European drivers must get away with so much on our roads since they can’t be found on the system !!
