| My wife has just received an NIP, for an alleged 62mph in what we believe is a 50mph stretch of dual carriageway (no side turnings, perfectly OK to do 70 - it used to be a 70 of course). (We need to check exactly where the so-called offence took place.) My point is, is that there was a camera van on... |

Christine Connor, who lost her husband Charlie in an horrific motorcycle accident in 2003, said: "We need to find out why fatalities are going up and, if it's speeding, then we need more speed cameras....

| The wave effect is caused drivers who execute poor lane manoeuvres and/or under-accelerate and/or over-brake (usually the tailgaters). As I see it the wave effect is caused by reactions being slower than gaps. Suppose you're one second behind the car in front when it slows fractionally. If you wait... |

| The question "do these courses work" is not really a sufficiently full question, given the circumstances. By "work", if it means are people less likely to crash, I should say either unlikely, but maybe more likely. "Unlikely" to work because most people caught are not necessarily dangerous drivers i... |

| Aeroplanes pass over us all day and night at 'lethal' speeds, it's just that we know it's wise not to get in their way. I have found the best way with my children is to discourage them from playing in the road and to choose very carefully where they cross and when they do, to look many times and lis... |

| The smoother traffic flow you experienced in the absence of traffic lights doesn't surprise me at all. I am convinced the majority are placed and timed to bunch up traffic as much as possible.
