say the other parties insurance company have now accepted that

According to this report (  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4636913.stm  ),
road deaths in the UK reached an all time low since records began in 1926.
Maybe speed cameras and lowered speed limits are working to reduce carnage
on the roads?

A43 will be closed to ALL through traffic from 0400-2100 from Friday to
Sunday from the M40 to the M1.
This is so that the selfish twats going to see the British Grand Prix
don't have to queue as long.

As above. I'm taking my Sorned car to the MOT station by my work which is 30

Just a couple of speed camera questions...
Just wondered why the white lines on the road by the speed cameras (yellow box
variety on pole), have the white line *behind* the camera? Ok there are 3
narrowly spaced lines in front of them/it but many more behind.

This happened last Saturday but I forgot to post it.
Unloading the shopping from the car when I noticed a fiesta enter our road
off the main road. It took the turn too fast, hit the kirb and continued to
steer left until it was at a 45 degree angle to the nearside kirb. I

Note the interesting part about the average speed of cars being 48MPH
on a SC A road with no restrictions.
The Office of National Statistics has released figures today showing
that almost 78% of Heavy Goods Vehicles exceed the speed limit on roads
