| Hi All, Just read most of the thread the usual arguments. I'll be protesting on the 30th against speed cameras because I believe they are the first steps towards total political control over us all, for making money and NOT for road safety. To those pro-camera people oblivious to what’s going on ar... |

what happens with a fuel protest for each of us personally?
People rush out, buy petrol, cause a panic, other people get the train for a day or so! |

please can I ask?
If it is so difficult for many people here to keep an eye on their speedometer how are you going to manage to stay below 56 mph? |

AH - I see... it's a bit like the fox hunting argument then... It's tradition, and they're vermin, and and and.
I think it's better to have one clear reason to be honest. |

| gosh - I am shocked at your rudeness! My brain is in gear. 70 mph is the speed LIMIT so I drive at 70mph :0 thanks for your response I feel sorry for the ambulance crew that has to dig you out of the central reservation when you are stuck in the blind spot of a left hand drive lorry for a week, and... |

| The protest may be "ruining" one day for one group of people but the scamera partnerships that we're protesting against are ruining much more than that. I'm sure you'll be fine in your little Minis pootling along at 50 mph! can you be more clear what you're protesting? I have heard a few different ... |

| No I suggest that you do, and be afraid, very afraid. Speed cameras are just the start. Consistent real-time government monitoring of the populace is just around the corner. At the end of the day, you are missing the point of the protest. Its nothing to do with speeding and breaking the law. In fac... |

| I find this annoying too. The most annoying thing for me is people who slow right down at a speed camera, so for example they may be going at 40 mph in a 40mph zone but as soon as they get to the speed camera, rather than continue at 40mph they break and go down to 30 or even 25... it's over cautiou... |

| I hae seen more van cameras but I have still suffered from people tailgating me while I travel at 70 mph on the inside lane, we need more I think, or perhaps police stopping people on the motorway if they go over 70 - that would be great, seems like fines just don't work. And just how are cameras g... |

| Hi there - I just joined and really only to make this point.... I took my test a year ago and since then I have never had a fine for speeding, All I have had to do to avoid this is drive within the legal speed limit as indicated by the road signs. Hello indeed, I took my test nearly 20 years ago, a... |

| My name is Donna I live in Wales, though I was raised in Ireland. I came here after receiving information about the protest on the M4 and I really wanted to hear what peoples reasons were for this kind of action. I find these types of action a bit pointless (Much like the Fuel strikes/demos) and I g... |

| Does anyone either do this or suffer from it on a regular basis? While driving to work on the M4 I regularly suffer from people in cars driving right up my arse even when I am doing 70 in the inside lane, or when I am overtaking a slower car and cannot move back in quickly. It's dangerous and rude. |

| The problem you clearly fail to understand is that we will be obeying the law at 56 mph And infact 56 mph is the best speed to travel at for most effective fuel consumption so I am told, so why not drive at between 56 mph and 70mph during your usual life instead of just on the one day? LOL, you've ... |

| Fact: 70mph limit on motorways is the law. Drive within this and you wont get caught and fined, or take the train. Stop causing disruption to law abiding motorists going about their business in the normal way on Saturday 30th and get on with your lives Lets hope the police out wit you! If you have ... |

I have a great idea for stopping them from becoming a revenue stream.... wanna hear it?

i don't believe I should be looking out for 50 signs as i have mentioned it was a National Limit for years prior.
Cheers,

yes you should be - that's what you learn on your theory test and so If you have forgotten perhaps you should do it again? |
