Speed Camera Detectors to be Banned!

Also the A14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge - it's incredibly dangerous
since the Scameras were put there.

Yes I like to get off the main roads with their 40s & 50s and onto the
winding country lanes with their (60mph) national limit.

 

Not all have lower limits for HGV, and even here there is very little
enforcement within NSL area's.

[reposted to all groups]

1. Dual carriageway to Single carriageway (70 to 60)
2. NSL to 30 by dint of having street lighting at the requisite
spacing (there's one of those near where I live)

 

I should show you some slip roads near here, then.

 

Nevermind the fact that now only the bad guys have guns... just like
before really... Just wait 'till the government find out how many
people die on the roads each year and ban cars, oh, that wouldn't be
popular would it. Silly me, lucky we're not cynical eh?

No, I'm wondering if there are any remains of incidents at the accident
blackspots, which the P's device also displays.

don't tell me... they'd drive a vulva.

 

Or else they'll be glad that there was only one fatality out of three
people, thanks to the relatively low collision speed.

Not all trains. Docklands Light Rail are computer controlled, for
example.

Most other countries 'cope' by having more people killed and seriously
injured on the roads than we do.

Why are drivers so concerned about breaking the new law on Dectectors when
they don't give a sh1t about the breaking the laws on speed limits? Surely
the same drivers will just ignore the new law as well?

 

..... at your peril.

@Cos one day, there'll be a mobile parked just behind a hedge, Or in amongst
a flock of sheep on the road (it *is* Wales!!)

 

Almost certainly.

 

That'd be worrying!

 

Did you read the line after that one?

The DLR is still a supervised system - they have a bloke on board, and
people monitoring them.

So they're sort of automatic.

And that's _one_ railway line - try expanding that out to however many
million cars/roads we have, because you can be sure the motorist wouldn't be
trusted (or probably even be trained) to deal with the computer in their car
going *boom*.

 

The SPECS at M1/M25 junction?

There are no SPECS at the M1/M25 junction but you can always tell the people
with GPS based detectors as they are the ones doing 70mph when passing the
traffic flow cameras

 

in this country maybe but in France the VAL systems are completely
unstaffed as is Meteor Line 14 in Paris. A new line in Singapore has no
drivers or attendants on the trains.

It is demonstrably clear that high capacity urban public transport
provision will move towards having no staff on the trains as a matter of
routine.

 

Why not, they're allowed to deal with the consequences of the present
system?

 

What bloke? A conductor? Can he take over control of the train in an
emergency?

There's no-one sitting in the front apart from passengers pretending
to be drivers.
