Eight years for baby death driver

Is it possible simply to get a can of spray paint and spray the lens
of a Gatso to render it useless?  Of course no one should do it as is
probably illegal, but does seem a very easy simple way, rather than
pulling it down!

If HMG were serious about road safety they'd set up 'Indicator Cams' instead
of speed cams.  I've just returned from a seven minute drive from my local
market (Chrisp Street, Poplar) and within the space of half a mile
encountered:-

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have problems doing this

The problem is that I can't see the white lines.  If there are cars
parked into the spaces next to me then I can park easily.  However

I was driving my cab in Glasgow today and I seen a van parked by the side of
the road and on the side it said DVLA road tax camera and the two back doors
where open and inside where a lot of flashing lights and two cameras thats

My wife is buying a new car, a soft top. Never having owned a decent

40mph zone has been freed on appeal.

Has anybody else been caught out by or at least noticed this? The
green signpost on the Euston (or is it Marylebone road by that point)
road for the M1 (the north) points straight down Baker Street and into
the C-Zone! Ouch-that'll be five quid please!

Does anyone know which card/cards is the most difficult to obtain in this
promotion?

Just what is the problem with the Gatso's?
You will not normally be flashed unless you are 10% above the speed limit in
force, keep to the speed limits, IE do not break the law and they can put as
many Gatso's as they like. Think about it.

Yes you know who you are.
The drivers who overtake (or attempt to!!) at 56.1mph on roads such as
the two-lane M11 going past Stansted up past Cambridge, despite
causing massive queues behind them. Even attempting to overtake going

in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane
waiting for the same drivers to squeeze their way back in before
hitting the road works barriers.

I was in the Sheriff Court one day last week (dunno what the
English/Welsh/Irish equivalent is), just sitting in the public gallery

the various defence solicitors. Anyway, one case was where a guy of 19 (of

A nationwide review of the positioning of speed cameras has shown they are
all in the right place, the Government said.
Today the Department for Transport (DfT) said it had heard back from all
areas and it was satisfied the cameras were in the right places.
