    A49 Wigan Road Outside Bryn Labour Club Bryn
    Speed Limit: 30
    Outside Bryn Labour club. I think there should be a crossing about here
    but there is not one on the entire road

    A58 Bolton Road Stubshaw Cross
    Speed Limit: 30
    M40/M42 on the slip road from the M40 onto the M42 northbound Shirley
    Speed Limit: 50
    This speed camera is a nasty swine, its on the slip road of the M40/M42
    junction just before a bridge its the only camera where I've seen the
    actual measurement markings having to bend around a corner, if you come
    into this cameras taxation area too fast then there is no way of being
    able to slow down sufficiently due to the nature of the bend, I noticed
    there are several sets of skid marks on the measurements where people
    have tried to slow down. This camera is DANGEROUS it will kill
    someone!!!!! Be warned it is live and I see it gathering tax every time
    I drive round there.

    A527 Park Lane Junction Park Lane and Kennet Drive Congleton

    braking hard when they see the camera 'coz they don't know the limit.

    Basingstoke
    Speed Limit: 60
    2 - 3 miles out of Basingstoke heading toward Newbury. 2 cameras (one
    each side of the road) recently erected. As of last weekend (14/2/04)
    they still had the covers on. Open road with little accident history
    (that stretch at least.) TRUVELO style cash machines, no signage (isn't
    this against Government advice?)

    A761 KILMACOLM ROAD 100+ YARDS PAST FILLING STATION HEADIN G TOWARDS
    PORT GLASGOW PORT GLASGOW
    Speed Limit: 30
    Nrand new, not used yet 19/02/04, measure markings not on road yet ,
    loop fitted nearby last year

    Maylands Ave Middle of the main trading estate Hemel Hempstead
    Speed Limit: 30
    Newish camera located in the heart of the main strip thru the Maylands
    trading estate. There are no speed limit or camera signs what so ever
    just a lone money grabbing camera out of the blue, I've been done for
    doing 43mph i assuming the limit is 30 MPH.

    NEW ROAD 10 yards past cricket ground Worcester
    Speed Limit: 30
    Driving from Worcester to St. Johns there is a 3 lane speed camera on
    the 1-way road up new road, about 10 yards up from the cricket ground!

    Ditchlin road 20yrds past farm road facing south Brighton

    1 GATSO A2 London Bound at welling junction welling
    Speed Limit: 50
    As you pass Dartford heath junction going London bound, you go down a
    hill, and the gatso is behind a sign before you reach the Bexleyheath
    and welling turnoff.

    1 GATSO As 3 lanes go into 2 Tadworth
    Speed Limit: 60
    As you go from M25 onto A3 towards kingtone, 3 lanes go into 2 lanes
    right on top is a GATSO still painted grey. Be careful it works.

    A24 Heading towards Morden by bridge Morden
    Speed Limit: 30
    This camera is a revenue earner ONLY .It has been sited DELIBERATELY
    with a nice tree covering it, on a blind bend to the left. It is set for
    30 MPH and is VERY twitchy so will trigger at 31/32! As you head down
    the dual carriageway past Morden College on the left you will approach a
    bend with an iron rail bridge crossing the road. The camera is THERE.

    A24 Just under rail bridge Morden
    Speed Limit: 30
    Heading out of Morden towards Cheam. Again a nicely hidden revenue
    camera just UNDER the bridge on the left very twitchy set for 30MPH,
    will trigger at 31/32. Be warned this camera gets LOADS of unsuspecting
    tax paying drivers! Revenue cameras are unjust and un-necessary, THEY DO
    NOT COVER BLACK SPOTS!

    A217 Belmont Just before the 'White' Bridge sutton
    Speed Limit: 40
    The road widens into a short stretch of dual carriageway. This camera is
    something that Army camouflage experts would be PROUD of. Although
    camera is yellow the council have 'accidently' planted an evergreen tree
    to cover it - the cam is almost IN the tree! The one, I hestitate to
    say, 'good' thing is that this camera flashes at traffic coming towards
    it on the other side of the road. Dont worry it will not pick you up
    there - however it DOES blow away the film in the cam.....HA HA. So the
    locals know this and tend to do 41MPH going the other way - oh dear has
    all the film only got pics of an empty road on again, shame. My
    suspicions are that the cam is a 'flasher' only due to the above reason
    - it EATS film. But be careful

    A217 various Sutton
    Speed Limit: 40
    Just a general warning - heading South from Sutton there is EXTENSIVE
    use of 'jumper' cameras. If you are careless by the end of that road,
    your licence will be GONE! The time has come for ALL drivers to speak in
    one voice and unite against pointless 'revenue' cameras. Rebel Against

    Speed Limit: 60
    HGV'S Particularly vulnerable. this camera can define cars and trucks,
    and even though this is 4 lanes(you could believe its classed as dual
    carriageway 50mph) IT IS SET AT 40mph FOR HGV. BEWARE TRUCKERS
