goes to prove they are watching your every move
I had'nt noticed that, even though it was a full front page spread on the Wednesday evening paper I picked up.
It was obviously taken by a Mobile "Safety"Camera Van, with an operator pressing the button, so presumably they are looking to take
pictures of anyone who is doing anything slightly suspicious, including using Mobile, eating applles or picking their nose, as well as just ordinary
speeding! So be careful.

Wonder if they get pics of me giving them the finger, very carefully making sure that both my hands are on the wheel at the time!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

The speed camera myth
Im not a fan of speed cams, but it does annoy me when the reason against is always given as they are just tax revenue generators. Thats quite frankly
bollox.
I think its just the govenment taking a simplistic easy route at reducing road casualties on the basis of speed.
Look at the numbers. Just road tax for example.
There are 28m vehicles on the road. Some have cheap tax, like bikes, some have mega tax like trucks. Lets assume they are all like my diesel at 130
quid.
so, thats 130 x 28m quid = 1040m pounds a year from road tax.
Speeding fines are 60 quid. There are what - 1m fines a year? Thats 60m quid.
Not a lot really. And out of that they have to fund 3,500 speed cams, hundreds of laser vans, and the assholes that run them and the whole scheme.
And with it you get a lot of bad publicity and make about £1.50 on the deal.
the numbers dont add up as a 'speed cams are only there to make money' argument.
