New Road Safety Bill

That, and the chance to spend as much time as you like, with a collective of
the Francis Begbyisti.

'Great'

 

I don't think it is illegal, but radar detectors are.

TomTom has maps of radars in France freely available, IIRC and all
radar locations in France are freely viewable on guvvernmint websites.

Sites, like mappy.fr also show you where the Radars are located, should
you route plan with them.

 

Er, no - I can't remember what it's called. A bit of googling will
bring it up though.

You can do that in Essex too........ask Auvache

 

Could one get around it by marking the speed caneras as "accident
blackspots" on the map I wonder?

In the north and very eastern parts of the county yes you most certainly
can. Almost totally chav free zones they are. They also lack, mains
electricity, sewerage, water, gas, phones, roads and anything remotely
resembling morality. They and the area they live in are little, if any,
further advanced than those found in Victorian times and well documented
by essayists such as Dickens.

 

AFAICT that's only on the road or in a public place, though: doesn't
section 144B subsection (5) exempt vehicles kept in a private place by
the registered keeper?

I'm not sure what happens when a vehicle is transported to, say a
garage or a mate's place for work or temporary storage though because
then it would no longer be in the keeping of the registered keeper.

This bit
"Warning signs will be in place to advise road users they are
entering an average speed zone"
suggests to me that the Norn Iron speedcameraisti are motivated,
however misguidedly, by a desire to keep speeds down and save
lives.

I wonder if the M11 SPECS cameras will have such a sign?

It's an appaling road, should be a dual carriageway but instead it's 4
lanes, lots of plain junctions with folk turning both ways. It's not
fucking cameras it needs but a proper upgrade or roundabouts at the
worst junctions.

 

FFS, they're not "Speed Cameras", they're "Safety Cameras".
Doesn't their very presence make you feel safer on the road?

In the same way that constantly appearing on CCTV makes me feeling like
my privacy is properly protected.

 

Soon they will be neither, they will be tracking devices.

 

'Hog scribbled on the back of a napkin:

What makes you think they aren't already?

 

From an ANPR perspective, mostly not yet. Soon though. It should feel
like Germany in 1936.

 

It's not all bad

Only a lot more sophisticated from a "keeping tabs" perspective. And
that's why I'm so sensitive to this whole thing.

And before someone else comes along and tells me to **** off whence I
came from, I ain't any better there either.

 

Now you're getting it.

Sensible policies for a happy Britain
