    Nidge fumbled, fiddled and fingered:
    well apart from raising the penalty there's less trafpol about
    apparently so again the chance of detection are slim. I travel 18 miles
    to work, (a lot of which is on B roads) and must see at least 6 people a
    day using their cellphones.
    I've already decided it's going to be relocated to the sunvisor ... and
    nicely hidden away. With a easily accessible power switch mounted
    somewhere erm easily accessible.
    It would not surprise me at all.
    Given the Government does'nt seem to actually listen to what us lowly
    voters actually want I for one would happily chuck my vote at someone
    who would put the brakes on this automated camera policing. I'm
    surprised that the motoring organisations don't get off their arse's and
    get a little more aggressive for their members.

    Having seen the car on trial the other night that reduces your speed to
    the speed limit using GPS info, and apparently the system could cost as
    little as 100 quid ... how long before such a device is compulsory on
    motorcycles.
    So who's standing from here then :)

    My number plate is going to fall off, so I don't care.

  3. You comments receive no argument from me. For better or worse, times
    have changed, the "compensation culture" has crept in and people are
    more prepared to assert their rights nowadays than perhaps they were in
    the mid-to-late 1970s.

  4. Truvelos dont use radar so are not detected by radar only devices.
    Most new camera locations are Truvelo.
    Saying that, a new camera on the A421 at Gt Barford has just gone up,
    and its a Gatso, pointing at the old Truvelo 10 meters away from it.

    month.

    Only worthless over here. Dublin dealers paid me shitloads for the ones
    I took over there.

  10. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    They probably thought it was an apple.
