I'm very sad to hear of Paul's death. The world has lost truly a giant among men and truly a giant in road safety.
My deepest condolences to Claire and Paul's family. |

| Seems like a bit of a climb down from the "speed cameras solve everything policy", and he didn't resort to slagging Paul off. What can be in the figures I wonder? |

| You need to respond to the NIP whether you think you have commited an offence or not otherwise you will be charged with not identifying the driver (known as S172 offence). An S172 offence is taken more seriously by insurance companies and will put your premiums up more. Before you do anything go to ... |

The best he could do was attack Safespeed rather than address the DfT's incompetence. |

| What's the point though, if all the council do is post a fine to the registered keeper of that number plate, who is probably totally innocent? In my area every point, the local authority will tow away untaxed cars parked on the public highway. They don't bother with the fine in the post rigmarole a... |

| I'm still in favour of the tax disc as the local chavs drive round our estate at 70 mph untaxed, uninsured, and unlicensed. The out of date tax disc is a dead giveaway when they park up. There's one parked up in the lay-by at the side of my house now, the tax runs out at the end of June, as soon as ... |

Might take awhile though as it states on his website they won't answer queries by email FOR SECURITY REASONS! Anyone g... |

| Just what was going through my mind! What about the distraction of looking for talivans and checking your speedo more frequently than you otherwise would have done due to their non-adherence of the ACPO guidelines? Pity there is no forum to comment on this site to stir things up! |

| Good idea Les, but to be effective they need to be distributed nationally, very hard to achieve. What really sems to get the scameraships cranking up the spin machine is any negative publicity in the national media. After a lot of effort Paul is managing to achieve this. |
