| You've realised this website is trying to sell a speed camera alert smartphone app? The blog is just a collation of related news stories. I imagine they have a google alert set up then just chuck links to anything relevent on their blog to generate traffic. (let's see if third attempt to post works) |

| Anybody who cycles knows there are people out there that see a cyclist in front of them and feel they must overtake at all costs, because they think the cyclist is slowing them down, when in fact they rarely are, particularly in our towns and cities where cycles progress faster than motorised vehic... |

That photo looks like they've all been photoshopped in from separate pics to me.
Maybe the first time they tried it there was a punch up, and that's how the policewoman got a black eye.
Then Nicholas Parsons had to rush off to record Just a Minute so they had to PS it. |

How much am I bet that the AA and the RAC will come out against this?
Can't remember the last time they said anything pro-motorist.
And all road safety campaigners are anti this? Claire? |
