| Post-Test driver training - All the road safety bodies agree that it is necessary to improve road safety. So at present, we have: Pass Plus: A paid course of lessons with an ADI after your test, to take in motorways, night driving, etc etc IAM: A fantastic organisation, but, I'm afraid, slightly old... |

Hi all
Just a quick question I've always wondered about traffic light cameras.
At a junction where there is a seperate light for traffic turning left, does a camera switch to enforcing the right turn lane when the light for straight on traffic goes to green? |

| All this could be avoided if people just stuck to the speed limit. |

| Nothing to stop the officer recording your speed with his speed gun and writing your number down on a piece of paper to serve an NIP. |

| Is there actually a camera installed here, or is it just a mobile enforcement area? |

Can these cameras cover 2 sets of lights simultaeneously?
IE lights on the main carriageway, and a seperate light for a right turn filter lane. Whilst the main carriageway is on green the filter lights are on red and vice versa.
Or do they only cover traffic on the main carriageway? |

| If you cant see a van from that far away on a open NSL road you need your eyes tested. |

I assume they can only ban a driver when stopped by police, as otherwise they would need some way of identifying who was driving the vehicle.
I dont know if they operate some sort of driver identification system. |

Yeah its a single carriageway sorry.... no laybys, bridges, its an exceptionally narrow piece of road. One of the SCP documents says it will be "used as a 15% site when enforcement sites have been identified".
Thats from Jan this year. |

| Drove over a set of gatso calibration lines on the A4 between newbury and hungerford... no camera there but are they used by mobile units as a secondary speed check also? Seemed a stupid place for a camera... wide open National Speed Limit Road. |
