| Lancashire sent me a demand to disclose the driver of a vehicle that I had disposed of 18months previous and knew that I had informed the DVLA at the time. They were lucky that I didn't contact the IPCC but it was out of the required time limit. I have also just had a visit from our head of road pol... |

They now operate a silver/grey one on the A623 at Wardlow Mires mainly on Sundays when less HGVs are about and one can travel at an acceptable speed and not the new lower limit of 50... |

| Different County Pships employ different bodies to run the courses. Some are expanding into new courses too ... there has been some consideration given to Motorbike courses, dangerous driving courses and mobile courses. So there is ample scope for funds to filter back to those companies ... The arr... |

| This will be self financing as "speed awarness courses" will be offered and "they keep all that finance". Also some C/Constables are raising the speed limit on these courses (could be up to 40MPH in a 30MPH) so that they absorb more into the courses and therefore generate more fi... |

| I believe there should be a colocated sign (speed and camera) within one kilometre from the camera site. Also if you live in another County from where you got zapped then I would personally stick it out. I'd file the first NIP(in the bin) and see if they sent another by recorded delivery.

No one mentions that he called out when opening his door to talk with the cyclist, but it is not clear if they could have heard. This really reinforces my view that potential driver... |
