And once again, us Brits roll over and accept it...

 

A lot of folk in other countries would never stand for it. I bet the French would go on strike if this happened over there, and the Yanks would just use them as target practice :)

 

This country is riddled with cameras, I've driven in Europe many times (..where the roads are better, but thats another matter) and on returning to the UK, the first thing you notice is how many bloody cameras there are.

 

Time for a revolution I reckon

Your better off speeding/car testing on B-roads these days, not worth risking it on the large open 3 lane roads with no pedestrians, central barriers stopping oncoming traffic and clear views of the road ahead.

 

deffo keeping to the B-roads

I'll just have to use the country roads now then :D and a sat nav with camera positions.

 

What spectrum frequency do these use do you reckon? infra red? they cant use visible light as the headlights would over power them.

i wonder how much they cost us - the taxpayer/motorist

Then again they would probably just hike price of elec up

How does it know when you're on a mobile? :lol: or does it just take a pic of everyone???

I still believe speed doesn't kill, bad driving kills. If they wanted to save lives they would invent a camera that detects inadequate stopping distances - A car travelling at 150mph with nothing in front of it for 1000 yards isn't going to kill anyone, but a Nissan Micra driven at 50 mph 10 feet behind another car travelling at the same speed is a death trap.

 

I also belive that the rise of "middle laneing", and the associated lack of stopping distance, on motorways is directly related to speed cameras - everyone seems to drive at 71 mph in the middle lane in one huge convoy now due to the fear of being caught speeding, rather than driving in an advanced and considerate way.
