| Today 15years ago Paul passed away. As my true soulmate, I still miss him so very much. There really will never be another like him. Such a sad tragic loss. He was making so many question their 'belief' in speed cameras and the whole industry growing up around it. I'll keep trying to do all that I c... |

| I think posters have gone elsewhere as I've not made enough of a voice about the issues we are all facing the fact that I've waited a long time to have the forums updated and didn't want to post and have it go wrong.

| That is sad but he ought to have reported it to the Police too ... and given his details at the scene. A great frustration for his relatives.
