Title: Spot the Speed Camera
Post by bertie on Dec 31^st, 2006, 5:50pm

So you think you can spot the speedcamera.

remember, 1 eye on the road, 1 eye looking for a camera. No time to look for kids/pedestrains/hazzards

I think if you ever had doubt about these ******** things being there for safety, then this proves otherwise. Sneaky, low, underhand, Tw*ts!!

Great scameras those, proof if ever it was needed that they can't be called safety cameras.

13/19 for me...in my defence though I was on my second Guinness ;D

A lot on that site about camera vans being hidden behind speed limit signs, driving about a lot out of hours I tend to notice the b****rs perched right behind the 30 signs when you've just come out of a 40, like that scammer nearly always sitting on the Brentwood Road when I drive through at 6am on a Sunday; nice and quiet then, they know most people put their foot down a bit on an empty road >:(

Saw one today, on the main road at the end of my street...parks up on the pavement on the shallow bend just past the traffic lights where they know full well people speed up a bit to clear the parked cars on both sides while the other side is clear...road safety? makes my blood boil >:(

Regards, Bruce :)

Hi

If he's parked on the Pavement thats illegal and invalidates the pictures etc. Keep a disposable camera in the car and if you get caught like that take a picture and go to court with it.

By the way, if you do stop to take a picture go and ask him why they don't put their time into catching real criminals

Regards

Tony

Incorrect.

ACPO guidelines are unfortunately just that, guidelines. There's a case at the moment at European Court highlighting exactly this complaint. Unfortunately that will take time.

By all means try and fight this in court with a picture of the scammera van but it will not make the ticket invalid.

check http://www.pepipoo.com for the full details and case history.
