| Going out p***sed is the worst thing anyone can do on the roads - people die because of drunks and more often than not, not the drunks themselves! If I'd been asked this ten or 15 years ago I'd have wholeheartedly agreed; namely with the reduction in the amount of blood alcohol one is allowed to hav... |

The government are on the run with the cameras.
Anyone fancy organising a mass 20mph go slow protest on motorways and major trunk roads every Monday / 1st Monday in the month and cause economic chaos to speed the process up a little. |

| Well I’m sorry folks but we shouldn’t be looking for anything less than getting rid of speed cameras. What was wrong before we ever had them! The British public fall for it every time and now we are looking for compromises, which is what our masters rely on. (The Hegelian dialectic) That’s what the... |

This would soon be downgraded to some sort of PSCO/ Parking Attendant grade. {snip} Which is why, if a fully paid up 'proper policeman' had to deliver a NIP in person the abuse we're all suffering would stop!

| My initial thought is, that whilst showing the authorities the whole process is 'pointless', it is shy if the mark in stating, that their Policy is causing road deaths, and creating many dangerous road behaviours. The Police have been known in a number of cases, to hand deliver photographic evidenc... |

| Hello people, It's been a long time since I've posted on here so a warm hello to everybody.

I know it may well be off topic here BUT
Has the fellow who always quotes C O A S T actually thought to have written this down in a book of some description?
Might be a few quid in it |

Please could someone clarify, in Law, how "naughty" do you have to be before the Police can rob you of your vehicle? 1) Repeated drunk/dangerous driving while uninsured/untaxed/unMOTd? 2) Performing a single dangerous manouver in an otherwise legal vehicle? 3) 35 in a 30?

Silence 'blood money' has been offered to the family then it's been denied it's been offered. The silence from New Scotland Yard is now starting to deafen me as well. We wan... |

| At the end of the day, there's no more "safety" to have come out of having these cameras around. No more crimes have been detected, no more accidents have happened (pro-rata along with the growth in traffic). The only reason for having these cameras is CA$H They don't want us to slow down really, th... |

| This change in the rules was driven by the Electrical Contractors Association who wanted to see their member's status as equivalent to CORGI gas fitters. Would you do a bit of DIY gas fitting in your house? I probably wouldn't. Same logic applies except that it is far less likely for electricity to... |
