A lot of times they are in contraflows where it really is daft to go too fast - even if both sides are limited to 50, you've got a realistic chance of a 100mph+ collision should the chap on the other side do the stupidest thing possible.Comment

generally not as much moaning about this as would have expected. is the general consensus that this is a good thing then?
I think its more and more nanny-statism and despise it. At least with the fixed cameras you've got a fighting chance of getting away with it."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

About time the government stopped trying to bring the country to its knees by slowing it right down, first the economy, now the traffic!
You're the driver, you're the captain of your ship, you decide the right speed for you. If you crash it & die, natural selection. Makes sense!Comment

Unfortunately most accidents involve other peopleThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Oh the motorway particularly the M3 they are ******* nuisance. Especially because you get the idiots who can't work out what average means or those who have to drive under the 10 mph under the speed limit.
Mind you the only time when I've suffered them in a built up area in West London in a 20mph zone the locals had a habit of walking into the road without looking. It wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't pushing prams or dragging little kids with them."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

What's the punishment for not having plates on your car?
If we were french we'd be ripping them off and burning them, but as brits we'll continue to take whatever pegging the govermin dreams up next.
Maybe we should organise a day when we all take them off at the same time, they can't do us all! Maybe start a compo fund for those caught, sort of an insurance against twatist laws.
I'm up for it, as long as it's not organised for April 1st.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
